Yup, I posted a Cadillac to point out that it wasn't actually Ford colours that Leo used, it was DuPont colours and they were used across the industry AFAIK.

Aaaaaargh!

Daphne and Sonic ... no Lake Placid.

Based on the above, the OP's Jazz bass is definitely an accurate representation of LPB and the Mustang looks like the more modern Ice Blue

Depends on when the various photographs of the cars and guitars were taken. Also as you can see from the swatch chart above the colours fade by different amounts over time.

Can you show me a Mink De Ville in Candy Apple Red?

Asking for a friend.

What a bloody lovely car by the way

It's big and heavy too. I think the BC hive mind just solved your car quest.
Not a diesel either. Bliss.

Here’s a cady deville in Candy Apple red 🙂

The first time I saw one of these Caddys up close and personal, the one thing that genuinely astonished me was how little space there was inside.

As the song says, "I got me a car that's as big as a whale", yet you can just about fit two full-sized adults in the front, the back only has room for a couple of (small) children.

While we’re talking colour blues, another jazz I looked at was ocean turquoise , it looked pretty blue to me , it was really nice , here’s one

Blue is one colour I generally dislike quite a lot TBH - I never chose it for anything, e.g. paint in the house - HOWEVER - I think LPB looks great on a bass - no idea why. 
One I liked the look of is this custom (Moniker) Zuma Yonit Spiegelman had made - I think the maple and white colours set it off nicely:-

Really sweet with the binding. My friend had a Tokai Telecaster in his shop with the same  LPB + binding. Was one of the nicest looking guitars I've seen.
