Difference in blue paint colors

I was curious as to the differences in the Medium Quasar Blue, Ultra Blue, and Bright Blue. I cant find these cars with that color locally and pictures have proven difficult to tell the difference in shades or what not. Which is the brightest and draws the most attention is my main question. Just wanna figure out which I want for my respray. I could really use the help fellas, as the paint sample chips just aren't cutting it.

Went to the local ppg supplier today and from what I can tell the Bright Blue used in 1985 appears to be the brightest out of the three. Am I correct?

Re: Difference in blue paint colors

I think my 92 TA is bright blue, real eye catcher. Wonder how many were made, one guy emailed me and told me he has a car just like mine and there were only 25 bright blue verts made. Not sure if it's fact but I don't see this color often.
