Default nightmist blue color (code)

I am about to have my 66 fastback repainted and want it to become nightmist blue
my problem is that the painter here in europe has problem finding the right color

i gave him the codes i found on paintref.com:

ford code m1903 ; dupont code : 4734H and 181-97773
he uses cromax (axalta coatings , former dupont)


but i got the message that those old recipes to make the color don't exist anymore . now he came with a color that was scanned from something and should match nightmist but to my idea it doesn't look at all like nightmist blue

i can't imagine there are no valid color codes to make the right nightmist blue .
someone here might know how to get the right code so my painter can give my car the real nightmist blue look

thank you

This place sells not only touch up paint, but gallons as well. (including Nightmist Blue)

https://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/order-form.cgi

Their order form allows you to choose countries outside the US, but I could not find anything in their FAQs regarding international shipping. I don't know if this would be an option for you (ordering the paint directly from them), however, if you give them a call directly, maybe they can help find the information you need.

My only other suggestion would be to find another painter, or at least ask other paint shops if they can mix the proper Nighmist Blue color. Then you will know if it can be done, and your current painter just doesn't know how to approach it.

Good luck!!
