Default Colour code needed

I have had an enquiry from a TV company who want to use a V40 in the colour below. They intend to wrap/spray one in this colour if they can't find one

Is this code 245 Azure Blue?

A quick google comes back with paint code 245 s/v40 1998-2002 as light blue, no reference to azure blue though.

That sounds about right as the car in the illustration is a phase1, so chronologically correct. Although google says it was available to 2002, I have never seen a phase2 in that colour.

245 might have been used in other models that went to 2002. Azure blue may be a custom colour.
