Paint color question

[amg5872]

Hi, all. This concerns a 73 Bavaria but I think this topic translates to E9 so hopefully ok that I posted here for larger audience. The sticker under my hood says Baikal but the car is not Baikal (see pictures). I am trying to figure out the color for a little touch-up paint. I thought it was Nachtblau but that is metallic and my paint is not metallic. Any other ideas on what color this is? Can I just have Nachtblau prepared without the metallic additive or will that make the color a lot darker? Thanks.

On coupes the paint code is also stamped into the hinged part of the drivers side door. I have a Riviera coupe paint code should be 036. Just below Karmann name. Looks like riviera to me. Mike

nacht without metallic is atlantik ... basically the same color. in looking at the pics of the car, it doesn't look like baikal ... of course it could have been repainted another color, maybe not even BMW. it tends to look more riviera than baikal ... but almost looks in between.
