Different paint MFG's have shades that are closer then others. Ford Corporate Dark Blue is a better description . There is a much lighter blue that is still commonly confused with the correct darker shade . What brands are available in your area/country?

Yes - but as Bob mentioned they are not all created equal so just because they say Corporate Blue on the label or description don't assume that the tint or tone will be like the original. Durability is an other consideration that has been mentioned in many threads about the subject here on this site with catalyzed two part paint that is sprayed from a gun the best

Search will provide some suggestions if your going that route (paint brands and codes) or suggestions for the rattle can route.

Also make sure you understand just what made up the engine assembly at the time it was painted for your particular application. What was painted and what was masked off.

If your referring to the finish and color of the inside of the air cleaner shown be aware that its been repainted and appears it may not to be the original paint nor color
