Can anyone help me with a sample, or cross reference for Princess Blue. Paint shop needs an example for the paint camera. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure this is quite what you are asking for, but I rather post it in case it does help.

Here is a couple paint links as well;

Hi,
Another suggestion that may help. Contact Drew Serb of the Cobra experience in California.
On the AC Club forum they mention a 63-67 Jaguar code 0013 Opalescent Silver Blue Metallic
So that may offer a cross reference?? Original paint would be Nitrocellulose Lacquer made by I.C.I.
Which most likely is no longer available. All color samples appear to be Silver with a tint of Blue
Listed as ICI P151-R843 AC Code 15 Hope this helps!

Just happened to notice in the newest Hemmings Motor News on page #77 there is a Jaguar pictured that is recently painted this Silver Blue Opalescent color.May not be great pictures, but you can reason that Jaguar may have used the same paint AC cars used, and it is a Silver/Blue. Best of luck for the search, and keep us posted on your findings.
