Anyone know a paint color that matches the light blue accent of the Lightning emblem?

This emblem? Or does anyone know if the back side of the emblem is the same blue so I can try to have it measured with a camera?

I believe there are two blues. I tried to get the same blue for the tailgate decal and charge port letter insert decals to match. From a distance it’s pretty close. When you’re up close the raised decals appear slightly darker. The Ford Lightning Blue vinyl decal color code was #47A8E5 . It ended up turning up great and get a lot of compliments, but it’s not the exact same color though very very close

That code is the one also associated with "Picton Blue," the name also given to the light blue accent colour:

So I bought a fender emblem and used a spectro 1 to scan under one of the letters. It's not perfectly flat so that may be my issue. The closest match on the scanner was ral 5015 sky blue. I acquired some of that color and painted an old emblem to see if I wanted to paint the one on my lightning or not. Unfortunately for my finicky eye it's a few shades light, and I also don't think I want my grille emblem painted now, as it doesn't look that good to me anymore lol. It does appear that the blue of the OE emblem is painted, not injection molded in color. If I continue to search to find the exact perfect match I will update the post. I attached a picture of the (old) emblem I painted, and a piece of it next to the OE emblem. It's difficult to see the shade difference in the picture, but it's definitely off in person.

The correct answer is given above. It is Picton Blue #47A8E5.

One person says a close match is Rustoleum Oasis Blue. See here. Depends on how picky you are.

If you read post #2 he states that #47A8E5 is not the exact same color but close. I'm looking for the exact same color.

Thanks, I read it that @DNap4 got a blue but it didn’t perfectly match the Ford decal code of #47A8E5. But perhaps he was indeed able to buy that exact color as a sheet.
