Paint Colour

Hi All,
Doing an F86 in the colours of the 'Hellenic Flame' Display Team, 
Can anyone give me an idea of any paint brand nearest to the right shade of Blue used for the Greek Roundel - Conversion charts suggest FS15102 but I've not been able to find any details other than an acrylic FS 15102 Dark Gray Blue, which looks nothing like the colour used for the Greek emblem - And unfortunately I dont use acrylics (horrible stuff! - give me enamel everytime!!) I know the shade I need is somewhere around the Navy Blue end of the spectrum, but does anyone know of a better match??
Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks for your input Jordi,

              It's very difficult to decide which blue to use as there is no actual standard to the blue used in the Greek Flag! . it seems as long as it's Blue and White that's fine! - the problem starts when you are trying to match to a Decal, because some makers use light Blue and the set I have is quite dark.

It looks like I have to start mixing until I get somewhere near the one I want - Hey Ho!!
