Question Car color code close to M light blue stripe?

Does anyone know an OEM color (BMW or other) that matches or is close to the light blue on the M logo? I am going to have my CCB calipers painted and wanted to use that color.
The company I’m ordering the paint from needs the Year, Make, Model and Paint Code for the color. I found RGB info but they won’t do it, they insist it needs to be from a car for their system to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's Laguna Seca Blue? BMW paint code is 448.

Thanks for the reply. I think it’s more of a standard light blue but that’s certainly my backup if I can’t find something closer.

Last time I did an "M" project I bought Yas Marina, Interlagos Blue and Imola Red II. I thought Laguna didn't look like the light blue in the badging.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the heritage edition cars were painted the colors of the M stripe. If you can find that thread I'm pretty sure it mentions the names of the colors
