Ice Blue, but in the picture it looks a little purply, LOL!

So many of these colors change in varying light conditions.

All of these blues are very nice with the California Metallic as my favorite. My concern is that all are very chilly colors and might contrast too much with the flat black of the rally stripe you want to keep. Too much of a jump might be too bold. Maybe a flat gray or gunmetal for the hood and stripe?

Calif blue👍. But I still like an orange color. Make it stand out.

Maybe ice blue metallic is what you want, hard to tell in pictures. I prefer blues that don’t have too much green or purple hues in them. My mustang is in the paint shop right now and it will be a while straightening out 53yr old sheet metal. I’m leaning toward GM hyper blue with white stripes for mine. (‘67 GT500 B/SA)

Deep blues are nice but I like Race Red on my Mustang. It's an In Your Face color in a world dominated by Chevy products.

My favorite "ice blue" was on the '78 Diamond Jubilee Thunderbird.
