There's a metal plate mounted on your radiator support that has a bunch of numbers stamped into it. If, in the lower left corner, you see the number 900 stamped twice, then the official name of your color is "Deep Blue". If it's 929, it's a metallic paint and is officially "Nautical Blue". Oh wait, there's also a non-metallic 904 called "Midnight Blue". From my color samples, it looks almost black.
If it's not one of those numbers, then post the number (or a picture of your radiator plate) and someone will tell you what the official name is.
This is my radiator plate. See where the two 040 numbers are? Those numbers indicate the original color of your car.
