Re: Identifying Baby Blue Paint Code
Most colors like that are one-offs where someone just mixed a batch until it looked the way he/she wanted it. There's not really a code, per se. We can sit here and speculate about what it may be, but your best bet is just to take it to a painter that does good custom work and say "I want something along this line."

Re: Identifying Baby Blue Paint Code
Start with some paint chip books at a paint store or body shop. Find one thats close and adjust from there. Some that are jumping out to me right away are...
Ford grabber blue
Bmw laguna seca blue
Add more white, maybe a little yellow.

GT3 RS comes to mind also:
I'd trade one of these for a lot full of the other two posted
Honestly, I'd suggest picking a code-available (factory) color. That way if you ever need any more work done you have at least a fighting chance of getting a reasonable match. Get something one off and that's pretty much it... you're in for a repaint if you need a fender touched up or something (although the guy in the example you posted clearly gives no ***** about fenders).
Keep in mind that matte/flat/non metallic/very basic colors like these require that the bodywork and paint work be spot-f'ing-on. They will show every flaw and be very sensitive to any dings you might gather if you plan on actually using the car. Metallic paints are really good at diffusing or refracting light and hiding small imperfections.
