The blue used on 103e Populars at that time is a light-ish blue, I don't know the proper name for it but in my opinion it is the best colour Ford offered for the Pop.
Here's one.
and here's another one I painted a couple of years back.

Try Anglia Obsolete, They have most codes.

I had to take mine to a local paint shop. They told me to let them have a pattern (side air vent) which they matched. They made up a couple of aerosols for me and it's pretty much bang on, apart from being shiney. |

Pompadour Blue is listed as a 1959-1961 colour, the paint colour code is AR. |

Oooh the plot thickens...
I have an original sales brochure for the Pop which shows the car in the blue, I'll dig it out (from somewhere!  ) and take a look at the options listed.
That way we'll know once and for all. what's the blue listed for '55 -56 called then? |
