Color help with my project

I have narrowed down the color for my 73 hot rod to either of the attached colors. the orange is Blood Red or Tangerine (I think they are the same), but I cannot figure out what the blue is. The post it came from said Oslo, but it doesn't look like that to me. Looks like a cross between Oslo & Ossi blue. Does anyone know the color of the blue and/or which color do you guys like? You can throw in other suggestions, but I have decided against every other color for some reason or the other. Thanks.

Blue is a hard color to pin down from one photo as the hue seems more sensitive to ambient light than other colors.
