This paint code is on a 1970 2800CS. Looks like last two digits are 01. Can't read the first one. Maybe a 4? Take a look at the photo. Car is currently a metallic blue color. Anyone know what the code is and if it's correct for metallic blue?

Interesting. I can see why it was such a rare color back in the acid trip late 70’s and early 70’s. [emoji6] So I guess the code stamped on the tag was just 01, even though the official code was 001?
 
Interesting but this type of colour is returning on modern cars. I have seen some close, but the muted style similar to this. What goes around comes around.
 
i think your question is only applicable when you have a car with matching numbers and all original with zero rust ... then it could make a difference in selling price. if you were doing a full restoration and you wanted to return a car to its original color and it was numbers matching, it might make a difference / it might not.

my 2800cs was originally baikal - previous owner painted it black ... it does not have the original engine. i am painting it the color i want (an e9 original color but not a 2800cs color) ... because i don't care about value / potential value as an original car ... because mine has a tranny change, a brake change, an engine change and an interior change. i will admit that even though i love ceylon, the original baikal keeps appearing in my mind that before they spray it (hopefully soon) that i should go original color.

to me, all original gets the highest value, restored / perfect condition gets close (even with changes)
