I ran a search but only found 'Ford Blue'. Which ford blue? Can anyone give more detail?

Many thanks

Ford never maintained a uniform 'blue' on their motor parts - it varied from lighter blue to darker blue over the years. The one that's closest to our bits is the lighter blue:


Here's once place you can buy it - I'm sure there's many others:


The darker Ford blue is not really it, I don't think:

I believe the blue is probably from the logo Tudor who made washer bottles and pumps for Austin Healey and MG as well as others. I found Kryon True Blue is close to the color, although Ford Blue may work as well

Thanks to everyone. I understand that only the part that held the bottle was blue and that the section that bolted to the body was black. Correct?

Mny thanks!

Mine was all blue before I repainted it, but again I do not know if that is totally correct.
