Default 65 blue/white interior, help with door panel

I am restoring a 65 coupe, silver blue with a blue/white interior. I am looking for a source for the light blue paint on the door panels. I tried the Scott Drake light blue (L5748) and found out it sprays Silver... not blue. I also tried the Scott Drake medium blue for the windshield trim and radio grill and the white for the dash both of these are good matches to the original color. BUT the light blue they sell for the door panel is not even close... its not blue. Talking with the Scott Drake color guy tried to convince me the door color is a very silvery blue. I am not buying it, I had the original blue color on the door when I started and it was not silver... it really was light blue. The outside of the car is silver blue not the inside. Shame on Scott Drake for continuing to sell this defective color.
Does anyone know where I can get a correct light blue for the door panel?

A BIG THANK YOU to SUMMIT RACING for a full refund on the two cans of defective Scott Drake light blue I bought from them. They are caught in the middle and were very courteous about offering a refund.

I tried Rainbow Industries LAC05 and was too silvery and thin, so tried Accumatch. Seemed to match much better.
