Not sure if there is a paint code but I just used Ford Engine Blue when I painted my valve covers last year.

The question is which 'Ford blue'? Back in the day when they painted blocks it was a deeper blue than how the current cam cover blue is.

From the above Mustang History, 1968:

If I remember right duplicolor even has two different paint codes for ford blue. The older version and the newer one. When I painted my garage floor I used the older one. And yes it is darker.
