What color is this OEM Blue steering wheel?

I have an old OEM wheel and have always wondered what color it is called. I took photos of it with two repro wheels that are called Dark Blue, and Medium Blue. Neither is close to the color of the OEM wheel.

The most accurate depiction of the OEM wheel is the photo that shows the backside of the wheel where the spoke meets the rim and you can see a small crack. There is also an identical crack on the opposite spoke in the same location, and these are the only cracks on the whole wheel, so I am sure nothing has ever been done to the wheel to alter it over time.

Is this the unicorn of blue wheels that I read about? It is definitely not a dark blue, nor is it close to the color of either reproduction wheel.

Thanks, George
