Bayview Blue Poly was the paint color name, not Barcelona Blue for Fords in 1949 but I think it was for cars, that is what I saw on the Ditzler or Dupont paint chart with that name and color on it also a dark blue. It was listed for sale on Ebay. It looks like a nice dark blue color for what its worth. I guess if originality isn't super important just go with what you like. Modern paint makers and suppliers have the old formulas for these colors.
