The closest match to Tamiya French blue in every other range, nearest first.

Tamiya French blue is a mid-toned, moderately saturated blue. Only one range matches it closely enough to swap without thinking: The Army Painter Ionic Blue, ΔE 1.1. 12 of the 28 other ranges have nothing within ΔE 5, so a substitution from those will read as a different colour.
