Actually the question is more conceptual. What Pantone chip (Pantone is used for printing inks in the printing industry) matches the idealized concept of the Alex SiNGER house color, Bleu Foncé (Dark Blue). Like what color is Ferrari Red, or British Racing Green, or Bianchi Celeste, or Legnano Green. Not a match to someone's bike, a match to the ideal of that color. The averaging of a lot of people's opinions of what that color is...
