I’m definitely a little worried about that if I go light blue
Tough call. Have paint custom matched to the old (faded presumably) color, and risk it not matching perfectly anyways or just paint it the proper color which will likely be off a shade as well.
Personally I couldn’t decide, both colors look good so I’d go dark, then the color match don’t matter as much. And you can always just shoot it the other color if you ever paint the truck.

Time to beat that old dead horse again, lol. A good paint shop can perfectly match the light blue color by simply modifying the formula for the stock paint code, as needed.

And those electronic eyes are highly unreliable, unless they have improved significantly in the last 10 years. I've seen those things produce formulas that were so far off, even Ray Charles would know it.
