(Blue)This blue automotive paint color is most commonly known as simply 'Blue'. The only reference of this paint is in PPG/Dupont/Glasurit/RM Cross Reference list booklets from 1990 printed by PPG. See the detailed list below.
16493 is a paint code for PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Glass) who has been providing automotive paints since 1924 (originally Ditzler Color Company subsidiary acquired in 1928). PPG/Ditzler codes from 10000 to 95000 were used on new paint formulations starting in the late 1930's and extending to around 1968. PPG/Ditzler codes in the 10000 to 19999 range are primarily shades of blue. These PPG codes serve as a great way to track the usage of paint between and within vehicle manufacturers.
Sorry, we do not have a sample of what this color looks like.
