Paint ID for my EK

Just wondering if anyone on the forum can identify the colour of my EK wagon. Hopefully I can get these pics to load. The id plate isn't on the car. It was originally wedgewood blue from what I can gather but is now a slightly darker tint. Not even sure if it's a legit colour but I'll ask anyway.

Looks a bit like mine- strata blue- I was parked next to someone with a wedgewood blue that looked very much the same as mine but he swore it was wedgewood- however the few bits of decent paint on my car have been mixed up recently -

Yeah, I was leaning toward strata blue but I'm just after a few more better educated opinions than my own :lol:

I've seen some of the paint underneath the current stuff and it's definitely a little lighter and matches the wedgewood cars I've seen. I've trawled through some of the car pics on the forum and it looks a lot like strata to me.

And to finally answer you EKjimmy I'll be putting some pics and specs on teh My Fb EK section when I get a chance but it's got a warmed up 186 with a 179HP block, just fresh back from a rebuild (60 thou), electronic ignition, celica 5 spd, HR front with torana discs and hidden booster and HR drums on the back with 9 inch diff (just to help slow me down :D ) The drop tank is 60ltr. 215/60/13 on the front and 235/50/13 on the rear. HR buckets are coming out and new carpet and a retrimmed bench going back in. Paint job coming up hence the colour query.

Any other suggestions on the paint from anyone?
