David, here is a start for you. My car, a 1966 TR4A is Royal Blue Code 56.
This past summer a local Dupont supplier mixed a pint of paint for me in
Acrylic Enamel. The Dupont code is Royal Blue 8455A and the paint is Centari
Acrylic Enamel. Perhaps with this information you can get a Dupont Dealer to
convert to a laqueur or compare with the Dupont number that you have. My can
label says Code 56 but references 1970 as the year. I've used it as touch up
and the match is very good on small areas.
Hope this helps you.

Help!
I am trying to identify the number and manufacturer of the very dark blue
that Triumph used. To make matters worse, I am trying to locate the paint
in
laqueur. I think Dupont 97767 is what I want. Can anyone confirm this? The
blue I am looking for is almost black.
Thanks in advance.
