Brilliant blue colour match

[Andytommo317]

Hi I am having trouble getting a match for brilliant blue ,I have given 3 reputable auto paint shops the code and every sample is different, not one even comes close to the pictures I have amassed off the web ,does anyone have any advise ?????

Firstly ( and apologies if teaching you to suck eggs ) have you tried looking at the pictures you have amassed on a different monitor? Unless you have synced your particular monitor with the Pantone scale then the blue you see might not be the blue in reality.,..I use a USB sensor that runs correct tones on the screen, captures the output and adjusts my monitor accordingly - I suppose one test is - are all the samples the same colour?

Ignore me - re-read and each is different! So calibration not the issue

I once had jaguar light blue mixed from a code and the paint came out purple...
