Jambed by Spectrum Gel coat color

Well, one week away from launch. So I start prepping some of my gel coat for repairs. I have the dark navy blue hull. I tape off areas, grind down some areas, sand out some areas and open up the gel coat and it is the wrong blue. Rinker said it was Mediterranean blue that is what Spectrum sent me. I never opened it until I was ready for repairs. Anyway they send me some other blue. Anyone know the right color. My boat now really looks like crap. Help....

I would say get a gelcoat repair kit with multiple colors, and mix the blue that you have until you get a decent color match. Obviously don't put any hardener in until you've got the color matched. It doesn't take much pigment to change the color, I was told to literally take a match stick and dip it into the pigment then mix it into the main batch.
