I tried the recommended B&M blue, but it was way too light in the game.

Buzz, I appreciate your expertise. Do you have a suggestion for a better V&O blue?

This is 36 41 47. If you think this is too dark just lighten it up by ten each number until you get it right. I think I'm pretty close on the hue.

Decently modern V&O image you can probably pull paint colors from. You could also try B&O blue and see where that gets you.
