Blue Goose Blues (paint colors for ATSF 3460)

I have acquired shells to adapt a Con Cor Hudson to an approximation of ATSF 3460, aka the Blue Goose, shrouded 4-6-4.

Upper portion of the loco is painted in a light "sky blue" while lower parts are in a medium blue shade.  The medium blue is definitely lighter than the "freight diesel blue" in use in the 40s and 50s.

Anyone have a recommendation on closest colors?  Preferably water borne acrylics, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks in advance,

Tom D.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.
