Default Best blue for the Snoo (per.)

I'll be painting a Super Mars Snooper fairly soon (maybe this weekend.) What do y'all think is the proper blue for the upper section? Testor's French Blue?

Thanks

Wouldn't it have to surrender to the Martians?

REGULAR Rust Oleum has a really good blue also.
Not sure of the actuÃ*l color name though.

The only Rust Oleum I ever buy is their "regular" due to it being glow fuel proof.
Doesn't matter for rockets though...

Their 2x stuff is awful.
