Got pics?
I've been grabbing paint-match cards and checking shades, but can't make a decision. The original "light-blue" looks a little turquoise. I've seen Phet's masterpiece with his "Cornflower blue" and it looks good in the pics, but when I grabbed some color cards, the Cornflower looked way too light compared to the cab. I sanded off the initial fading and cigarette staining to get to a closer-to-original shade, but don't know whether to try to match or to just pic a three-color-combo that is close and looks good.
I've heard that someone didn't like the colors that came from the codes found here:

Has anyone used them and liked it? Got any pics of the finished product? I don't want to spend money on color and then be upset with it. I'll probably buy the smallest can I can get if I have to and primer/paint a piece of wood first to see what it looks like before I commit the entire cabinet....
