Does anyone know the exact name of the original colour of my 1989 90?

I've had lots of confusion from searches.
It could be shire blue? Arles blue? Windjammer blue?
I am very confused at this point and I need some help.

Bit of a rot box there, lots to fix. Hard to tell from the pic but mine from the same era is wind jammer blue.

Thanks for the reply.
It's just the inside bit I want to know. The outer has been painted over (poorly) many times already. I just want to put it back to how it was.
Haha, and yeah I have a lot of fab work ahead of me.

This is what I want to paint it. I think this picture shows the colour I want. I just don't know the name of it.

You can eliminate windjammer from the list anyway.

Having seen the pic of the F reg you put up that is not windjammer.

Arles and Windjammer are the same colour, just named differently when used on different vehicles.

Yours looks like Arles blue

It’s the same colour as my 90, which is the same age! Except I just refer to mine as blue!​

Thanks for all those who commented trying to help. I narrowed it down to 2 colours.
For those that may stumble across this thread in the future. I found this photo that shows the colour difference between arles/ windjammer blue and shire blue. Arles blue is darker.

I'm going to paint mine shire blue.
