Blue "Drill" or "Practice" paint

[303Gunner]

Inert Drill or Practice ordnance is by convention painted a bluish/turquoise/teal colour. Does anyone know the proper name for this colour, and have a reference for it, either as a US FS595 number, a UK BSC number, or a RAL number?

All i can find is the names for the colours.
drill grens are Oxford blue and practice are Deep Saxe Blue.

Thanks for that. Deep Saxe Blue is BS381 colour No 113. Different websites show different colour variations of the particular shade (eg this and this), making a shade match a dodgy process without a specific reference.
