looks like a non metallic base coat/clear coat turquoise. I'd guess its a custom mix

Maybe bring it into a paint shop/dealer and see what they come up with.

i think thats one of GM's colour through Dupoint. Toyota has a similar colour which is a tad darker i suppose. but can be seen on XB and various GM cars.
