I'm going out on a limb here, and quote the Firebird Red Book.

It says code 21 is called Light Blue Metallic.
I don't know if it's rare or not, but I would be changing that purple, too.
Post some pictures of the new paint job, when you can.

Leon is right; code 21 is Light Blue Metallic. I have seen a few, here is a pic of mine. Note, there isn’t a Trans Am decal on the fender but I think it’s the original fender because it has the correct date code but has been repainted at some point. There is a bit of over spray on the power brake booster.
