Lechler Paint Codes - SX150

Hi, I'm restoring an SX150 and I'm stuggling to find the Lechler code for one of the colours.
The main body is Grigio Primavera 8070 and the internals are Bianco Nuovo 8059 ( I believe ), but I'm strugglong to identify the BLUE colour used on the Panels and Horncast ??
It should be a kind of powder blue and something deep in my memory banks tells me it was similar to an old BMC colour called Pacific Blue, but I would prefer to use the correct Lechler Code colour.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Maz

I don't think you're the only one. There has been a great deal of debate about it here in the past. I don't think anybody came up with a definitive answer.

Local pal of mine has a wonderful example of an original paint unrestored SX150 for which he tried to buy matching paint for through all of the expert Lambretta channels, none of which could supply a match by number or name. Most were so far from original that he was better off as a stop-gap solution just walking into his local motorist discount shop and matching it by eye to the spray can caps... I kid you not :lol:
