Question Chevy blue paint confusion

Hey guys so I bought a c10 76 shortbed a few years ago barebones i6 250 3ott and it has a white top with light blue aftermarket paint job.

Well after a new crate motor, new cab, and a lot of restoring I'm
Getting close to pulling the trigger on getting paint. Here is my problem:

The factory sticker says the truck has hawiaan blue which for my truck is the "middle blue" but the current paint job looks closer to "sky blue" or the light blue. I know for my year they also had a darker blue I think it's called night blue? Anyways I'm hoping some of you guys can post some pix of any of these colors. I want to do a single stage two tone white can top with the white i between the chrome trim on the sides but these blues are i consistant on Google images. Go ahead and try it Loki get all three Blues if I google hawiian blue.

I'm leaning towards what I believe hawwiian blue looks like. It looks good with the chrome to constrast. Sorry for the long post, but I don't want to spend extra money on paint if I can help it.
