I have seen an MX5 in this color (Ford Bionic) and it looked really good.

From your choices the Cobra blue gets my vote :D

If you are after a darker blue, this is Toyota Rav4 blue in an engine bay I did for a mate. I don't have any "out in the sunshine" shots though sorry. It is a really nice colour when it is clean but tends to lose it "sparkle" when dirty.

Maybe its due to the light in those shots, but if i wasnt told otherwise id say that NA looks more like Mariner Blue to me.
