That would appear to be GM light blue metallic. RPO code 21U. WA-U7470. PPG # 3455.
It's the same color that my truck is although mine is also two-toned with white.

It's hard to tell in the pictures. But it sure looks to be the same color that my truck is and I know the blue on mine is metallic. It's just a real fine metal flake that's in it. It's a good looking color and was pretty common on 80's era GM vehicles.
