Default V70 Classic. Difference in two shades of blue.

Hi
Long story but I'm looking for a replacement rear bumper for my V70 classic. 1999.
My colour code is 417-26. Dark blue pearl.
I've seen one online which visually looks the same but it is code 604-26. Midnight blue.
Do you know if these colours are very different?

Thank you

417-26 is Nautic blue, I would guess that it's a later edition as it's on your 99 car and my 02 V70 and was the colour of my 03 C70.

You could try getting a hold of a 604 rattle can or touch-up pen and check the match against your old bumper.

That's a good idea

Thank you.

The bumper I've seen is from a 98 V70. The blue looks very similar.

Separately they may be very similar and the difference might even be quite subtle but once it's on the car the difference will be more noticeable.We have a paint factor here and they can match any paint colour and sell it in any quantity from aerosol cans upwards[possibly even touch up sticks although I've never asked about those]is there no similar place[s] in your area?
