getting ready for a repaint. i've checked the color charts but online they tend to vary from the original. there seems to be two blues that are close to each other. i'm leaning towards the olympic blue as there is a bus down the street from me and that blue looks to be what the car is. is olmypic blue a correct color for this car? is there a paint color tag on the car somewhere? spring has sprung!!!

...and be aware that the interior colors (panel, etc.) are related to the exterior color. If you tell us what year it is (VIN!), we will help you find the correct blue...
Regards

we believe it to be a '62. the local paint shop has a machine that can match the color. i plan to take the glove box door for the sample. at this point we think it's pacific blue. looked all over the car for any number plate and could find none.

To find the VIN# for your T34 look under the back seat. Pacific Blue is light blue (powder blue). It usually has Ice Blue interior vinyl for the outer edges of the seats, upper door panels, quarter panels, & rear shelf.  Attachments:

Olympia blue is a colour from 70s, it's way too bright.
My '63 typ14 has it (see profile url for pics) and I was looking appropriate colour among period correct colours, no match, not even close as colours from 60s are toned down pastel colours, even pale (except sea blue and some others) and 70s used very bright and simple colours.
There's also two tones for sea blue: Darker and lighter with some green thrown in even when they have the same colour code: L360.
