Blue IH toolbox paint

I have recently purchased an IH toolbox that is blue, probably late 70 s - early 80 s. I want to repaint it but can not find any references to the shade of blue I need. Anyone know where I can find the color or paint code???
 
Dad used to get IH service parts & tool catalogs in the 1960's and 1970's, and I worked at the FARMALL and
East Moline Plants in the mid to late 1970's and early 1980's. Plus we still had two local IH Ag dealers then,
and I never saw a blue IH tool box.
Probably something repainted by a prior owner. I'd paint it #2150 IH red and slap a couple decals on it.
 
This is the one I m referring to. They made quite a few different sizes and also rolling chests.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! Don't paint it red,it's a toolbox made by Kennedy for IH. Wrinkle blue finish is impossible to find,if you
own the one in picture leave it alone,it's in great shape. The only way to repaint those blue ones is to paint with a wrinkle finish
paint and then find a slate blue that matches original and paint over that. Red smooth finish tool kits were available at the end,not
sure if those had Wright manufactured wrenches or not. Blue ones were made same time as Wright made wrenches.
 
The one in the picture isn t mine, I used it for reference since it showed the color well. Mine has been repainted by PO. The wrinkle finish is in good shape, just need to find the correct blue shade to repaint. It was a cheap buy but it had the emblem. I ll keep digging, any help is appreciated!
 
Ace hardware has rattle can of ihc blue , take a look. Or Tallmans ag specialties has a color charts for ihc collars to help you decide also.

I say its a ihc implements blue at ace
