I believe the blue is midnight blue.

Thanks. The nearest I've managed to match is Dulux Oxford Blue.

Just a tip...
I wanted to create a dignified look to my front door and alighted on Dulux Oxford Blue as the best 'off the shelf' product.
Have to say that the effect (over white) was very poor. The paint itself seemed impossible to mix, even using a stirrer in an electric drill on variable speed and gave a peculiarly 'irridescent' variable sheen, even with several coats.
It is just about OK from a distance but I wouldn't recommend it for a 'public' room.
