I would add that although sonic is indeed lighter than Daphne it also has a tinge of grey that is missing from Daphne.

Note the greenish tint to the headstock.
Yeah I noticed that a few years ago before I ordered the Sonic Blue nitro from Steve. My mate works at a Fiat dealership but it was such a new colour that he couldn't get any for me. It's called Cha Cha Azure.
Sorry to be negative, but how much does it really matter?
Whether finishing a new or vintage the answer is the same. They vary too much to use the name of the colour as a reference.
You can follow original mixing charts, but paint formulations don't necessarily match (they didn't at the time) and colours will still vary a bit.
Show me an example of the colour/finish you actually want - don't give me a colour name.
Worth a read - because its the whole process that affects the colour

For the fender blues the fading and primer means there’s so many differences out there...
What colour is Pelham Blue?
:-P
I asked my mate for some googled pics of what he wanted and they were mostly like the original DuPont colours I found and posted above. Manchester Guitar Tech had the nearest colour to this and handily his colour sample on his site shows the paint with and without a clear top coat. I went with the no top coat option and the final colour was spot on.

Daphne Blue is very much one of them
