Blue.

Seriously, you need to take it to a body shop they should be able to help you. Or if you have a paint chip you can put it on a colorimeter and then they can match it exactly.

It could be "Light Blue" code 23 or "Bright Blue" code 98. But i am not 100% positive.

Same color here....I think?

My door jamb code is missing and I just got the car. It's original paint and might be slightly a different shade from my 91 to your 89 but it looks real close.

I'd like to know too. If you find out let me know please.

I think it's the Bright Blue Metallic but I'm not sure.

If I'm right its (gm code: 80/wa 9544)Medium Quasar Blue Metallic.
I do believe that is the right color code for my car.
