It is very close, but a shade lighter.

I can find no reference to a Volvo Scandinavian Blue in any research. Volvo did have a Medium Blue and a Green Blue that are similar. They are both have a more green color.

It`s not often that I agree with Pete but Lagoon Blue and monotone if you have good taste. Orange looks nice on Satsumas and 2 tone suits Mini Coopers, but, really the best colour of all is called subjective.
Today there was still salt on the road but the Elan was peeping out, feeling blue.

Regarding numbers of Lagoon Blue Sprints, we can only really be accurate for home market unit numbers from 0501G and 0501E to production end.

For DHCs there were 398 cars produced between Oct 71 and Feb 73. 61 were Lagoon Blue which is approx. 15%. Of those 61, 17 were mono coloured.

For FHCs there were 164 cars produced between Jul 72 and Feb 73. 32 were Lagoon Blue which is approx. 20%. Of those 32, 11 were mono coloured.

From my records, the most popular standard original colours were:
