Have a question for all the experts, this is the last spot on my car that has original paint on it. The previous owner had the car blasted before I bought it and there was no fender tag or build sheet for the car I’m slowly developing my own fender tag with all the parts that I have that came with the car. I’m leaning towards B5. But would like some other peoples input.

Sorry guess I should have put my car is a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T
 
Looks Petty blue to me too.
 
Looks Petty Blue to me also. The color was available starting in the mid 60's I think. No one really ordered it except very few buyers.
 
Looks like B5 to me.
I’m betting the camera is making the top part look different, but look at the bottom of the photo
 
Turn off your flash... hold a white piece of paper in front of that plate.. hold your focus button down and then remove the paper and take the shot.
 
Looking to the right and below the plate, the color looks less affected by the flash and looks like b3 if I had to take a swing in the dark at it....
 
Be aware that they cleaned the color from the gun at that point of the body. I've seen more than a few that the area behind the booster wasn't the factory color.

So the doors have some the original paint on them as well so I’m pretty positive the blue is the correct factory color when I get home today I will take some more pictures without the flash
 
Ask some of your local body/restoration shops to spray out a few "cards" for you. They also may have a chip book you could borrow which would be even better.
