Different shades of blue used for 16613 dial...

Does anyone have a breakdown on the different shades of blue which have been used on the 16613 dial (series/years, comparison shots, etc.)?

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

There has been discussion of more recent examples with a lighter color. My Z990XXX color seems to match the older ones though, so maybe they have returned to the deeper blue of late?

Early ones seem to have more of a purplish tint to them under certain light.

I don't think there is any specific series or years identified with shades..

Maybe it just hasn't been cataloged yet...

Any TT Blue followers know ???
