Wouldn't heat from engine affect the color?
Many times I paint my engines with the BEST blue metallic color and after a couple heat cycles, it looks different. Probably same for this color? Seems it would look a little more 'greenish' with heat cycles?

Maybe because they started like this before they were installed. We tend to make them what we feel is the "best factory look".
 BTW: All paints are just "close" to original because they are not original paints....

I think what your missing is what color are you trying to copy . Also what year. I bought my car new & the blue on the engine to me was a baby blue or what most call a powder blue. It was on the car for about 8 years before it was pulled & repainted fro a rebuild, but I remember that the color it started was a different color when it was pulled. The baby blue that is scott's color is close to what the 73 baby blue was but the true 73 color was a bit lighter then the one scott has for his color.
