That toyota nautical blue and the audi pearl are very nice in person. Those have my vote!
Good luck with your search, Im still choosing my color and I only have a little time left before paint! 
Finally saw the audi pearl on an actual car. Most of the new Audi's are Nagano blue which is close, but more of a metallic. The Estoril blue is only available on S models this year (and maybe some RS models). Last year it was a special order option that added substantial cost to the vehicle. Of the 3 dealerships within 20 miles only 1 car was Estoril in the last month! No metal flake, great pearl effect. It is gonna be the winner.
^ That is the main reason I didn't paint my car satin black. I hear upkeep SUCKS and you can't polish out defects.
Yep, from all the professionals I have spoken to I get the same impression. I may do a quickie satin rustoleum job on my 59 caddy until I get redy for a pro job. But if I am paying it will be smooth for now.
Interesting twist.
You could paint it your blue of choice and wrap the car with matte finish Xpel ultimate. I cant link you since im one my phone, but the stuff is pretty awesome. Would keep the paint from any scratches chips or fading as well.
Pricey, but in the long run could be very much worh the investment. 10 years later you will still have a brand new paint job.
I like what I see with the xpel ultimate and the high end wrap jobs, BUT not all is peaches and cream. I HATE that there are the folded over edges on the marins of the exterior panels. I know no one else can see them, but I CAN and if it is my car then that feels like a cop out. Kinda like wearing a T-shirt that says you have a running car, and being 65imp (

)
Also like you said the cost is high, and you need someone with skills to install. At that point, just go with paint. Unless you bought a new(er) car and wanted a color change, then maybe...
Literally I spent an hour and a half of my life going through each page of this build and was crushed the last two pages was picking out paint selections. lol Throw us a bone here and cruise around the block or something. lol
I know you wasted an hour and a half and feel disappointed.

Guess what. I have wasted more like 6 years on this M#th@-Fuck@!

Sorry to give ya blue balls and all. I've got a couple hundred feet on it, but it is not registered because that is a retarded cost once smog is considered here in CA. Add to that the costs of insurance, and the time the car will spend in paint jail...

I'll get to drive it sooner or later, and with my luck stack it into a Bridge embuttment within 30 min...
there will be video. And hopefully flames

I had a couple of blue recommendations but then I saw that House of Kolor bike and said DAMN!! That's the color, end of story. If not satin wrap. I've heard the satin paint is a pain in the ass on upkeep.
The HOK stuff is quite custom. you got to imagine the color is a tint in the clear coat, most of those pictures are over various types of silver. It can look great, or not so great based on the angle, and the base coat, and the guy spraying, and on and on....
For a show car I will be using there stuff, but I don't need more excuses not to drive this thing.
This would be pretty awesome.
A lot of the brighter blues look great with a satin finish. It especially looks good with faceted body lines. They make it look more intentional to be semi-gloss, rather than just not washed...
how about a non permanent satin clear?
I like this thought a lot. It may be a way for me to get that look with thecolor I know I like. I will try to get a test panel shot when they spray my car, then I can try out a satin clear semi-perm as a project in the future.
Thanks Jacklin
