Default Imperial Blue Paint Code Help

I need the Ford paint code for Imperial Blue. The VIN tag from Ford was replaced with a tag from the vehicle importer.

TIA

Thanks cozzymatt

My car seems to have the purple shade to it in sunlight. Now all I need to do is see if Ford uses this color here in the US under a different name. I have some painting to do in the spring.

I don't know if ford US has a matching color. My car does not really look very purple in the sunlight. Hope this helps!
