Ok I got it now I think. Wasn't sure what you meant by "wed pic" but now I see on the inside cover of our 2017/2018 book. Looks to me more like either a Reef Aqua or Peacock Blue color.

Did you check out the thread here titled "master color thread" (or something similar to that)?
I'll inquire as to what color that is for tomorrow. In the meantime we might still find it in the Master Thread.

Sorry. The Reef Aqua I mentioned isn't close as I thought. But Sky View Blue or Wind Blue aren't too far off.
Going to depend on what year the Bronco turns out to be I guess. Assuming it's even an original color for that year.

We'll see.

You know, it's funny about pictures... Especially printed ones.
Just checked with Jim and, while he didn't remember the color code, he said he thought it was Bahama Blue. Or maybe even Harbor Blue.
Now, he's not usually given to flights of fancy, so it got me to thinking about the fact that I actually know that Bronco, and it doesn't look like the pic in the catalog!

And I was even there when the pics were being taken, so I went back to my phone and here's another shot.
It's basically Bahama Blue.

Actually looks more Grabber Blue in the pic. I think that Bahama and Grabber are supposed to be the same color. But I feel that Bahama is simply a derivative of Grabber, with a little less "pop" to it.
I remembered the Grabber of the Mustangs and don't think that the Bahama on the Broncos looked quite the same.
Could be wrong, but that's what I think.
The half-cab kind of looks like it's got some of that pop back, making it look more Grabber to me in the pic. And I believe that, as original as it is, it has been re-sprayed at some point.

The conclusion then tpatton, is that as far as color choices go... Yer on yer own!
