B&I Line Blue for Containers

Please could someone jog my memory as to what shade of blue the B&I Line containers were?  I seem to recall two different shades on the hulls of the ships, pretty much midnight blue pre-1986 and a brighter shade that Connacht and Leinster carried after they were internally altered and the blue was swept up aft.

A few posts in my thread here may be useful.

Arran has confirmed the shade of dark blue for the later all-Blue B&I containers.

However, some of the earlier B&I containers (where blue was only a small part of the livery) seem to have used a paler, more greenish shade.

 

This thread may also be useful for B&I container, swapbody and road vehicle photos - there are some B&I pics in colour though it's predominantly black and white photos.
