It was just GM blue at that point. 45 years of oil, grime, dust, and heat changed it to the color it is now.
Everything switched to Coporate Blue in 75 then Semigloss Coporate Black in the early 80's, around 83. Funny how paint was the beginning of the end for GM.
Buick Turquoise Engine Paint?
So after a long stalemate on my engine for my Regal, ive been making decent progress. There will be more on that in my build thread soon. Anyways I've been Trying to find the correct engine paint color for it. It is supposed to be a sort of turquoise color, but I can't seem to find anyone that...

Yeah sadly. All i can find online was 78-82 or 83 was Light blue like the picture I posted. no Paint Code though. Its important for me bcuz I'm doing restoration quality.
I looked back at your Reply i think this looks just perfect!!! But is it me or is it More Teal than blue? & Yes my engine bay is Black. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/shw-de1643

Need a paint code? I got PPG's code for the corporate blue, 15159. I have yet to find a GM code for engine colors.
Yeah, that color with yellow plug wires really pops in a nice new black bay. And yes, it is a teal color, and it will get greener with age. So keep that in mind. Everyone who saw my engine said it looked awesome, so when that particular engine goes back in the car (with aluminum heads, etc), it will be repainted that color.
This is the eng i got. Red Leads & Blue cap. I think it looks killer! (Not at all stock) It's been built internally. I think 0.20 over. can't remember. everything new inside.
If u got any spare carbs I need one the one on it now is a Holley 750 and Wayyyy to big. Idk what the guy was thinking. Looking for Rochester or Edelbrock 500 Cfm max... Will even up.
