L96D "silver metallic", also known as "polar silver", most definitely has a hint of blue in it. The Salzburg cars were painted with this as a base, and it took me forever to find a paint chip of the actual color to confirm that was blended with a touch of blue in it.

I still don't think I got enough of it in my car, but it really depends on how the light hits it.
