I've always liked the blue used on the JBL pro monitors, and some really generous contributors here did all the hard work a few years back and got a paint code match for it. So I used this formula at HD yesterday:

They don't have that base paint anymore and the mixing ratios have changed, but they said no problem so I got a can of their standard flat latex to try out anyway - a whole gallon of it!
Here's some pics of the results. I have a single 4301B to compare it to, and it looks really close - eggshell would be a better match than flat. A standard roller gives almost the right texture too. The pic was taken with a flash - in normal lighting the blue is much darker than it looks on a computer screen.
