What color blue is my dash?

[Mdavis]

Hoping someone can help. I'm doing some custom speaker work on my 24 XLT. The truck is Hot Pepper Red, and the dash is blue. I'm wanting to match that blue with some spray paint for speaker grilles. Anyone have a good color match. I appreciate any help.....

If it were me, I'd use flat black for the speaker grill.
Even if the exact paint color was found, a painted surface has different light reflectivity than molded plastic. I worked in injection molding for a few years and learned that an exact match between molded plastic and a painted surface is near impossible. Even painted plastic varies slightly from painted metal. There are posts on the topic of slight variation on the exterior color, metal vs plastic surfaces.

It's called Navy Pier, but I know that doesn't really help.

I'm actually painting metal grills, not plastic, so just wanted to find a close color
