Who knows what was actually used on that auction truck. Royal blue or baltic blue are not factory correct anyway. Check the link for the factory color chips and two tone options for that year of truck. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/

The truck in the Barrett Jackson photo doesn't look right for those colors though. That truck in the photo looks more like Marine Blue but lighting can play tricks I suppose.
