have been darker. So, in essence, I would advise taking your time finding the
correct shade as PPG and Xalta (formerly Dupont) shades vary tremendously.
The blue on the truck in the photo also seems too light to me.

You might be thinking about Dearborn Blue? It's almost black, That truck definitely looks like a little lighter (grey primer)Washington Blue.
