Color Code for Blue Engine Paint - Cummins 6CTAs in 1995-96 - patrickshier - 06-05-2019

I have a 1996 3700 Open with Cummins 6CTA's and the engines are painted blue.  Not repainted.  This is original.  Apparently this was a special paint for Tiara.  Some Cummins techs recognize it, but no one knows what it is.  I don't want to repaint the engines but I do need to replace the exhaust elbows and probably the turbo and I would like to match the paint.  At one point someone told me the color was called Federal Blue, but I don't recall if that was someone from Tiara or Cummins.  Cummins does not currently have a Federal Blue.  If they had one previously, I haven't found anyone who remembers it.  An internet search on Federal Blue paint produces a huge spread of colors.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for the information.  The pic looks good.  I'll look into that paint.
