Need help identifying paint

So I bought my car with a non factory color on it and I always wanted to go factory but I've had a snag of nostalgia and I'd like to have the same color as before, I've had my camaro since 07 and I can't remember the color name for the life of me, I wanna say it was electric blue but I doubt that's right, it had a nice color change to it when the sun hit it, it would brighten up in certain spots and darken in others it was nothing special I'm just not sure if that's a property of specific paint styles or not, anyway here's some pics if you can help me figure this out is appreciate it!!

With he first pic the hood does not match that's not the color I'm looking for, its the darker portion on the front and fenders back

Looks like Bright Blue, code 98. Not to be confused with Light Blue, which was also offered in 1989.
