Is there a difference in paints with codes 359 (Tanzanite Blue) and 890 (Cavansite Blue)?

I need a rear bumper and I'm looking for a second hand part in the matching color. My car is painted in Cavansite Blue (890) while all blue one's I've found are Tanzanite Blue (359). Since these two paints look pretty similar I checked the catalogue from 2012 and figured out that facelift cars are offered with 890 paint while pre-FL with 359 paint. Since scrap yards that have blue bumper (Tanzanite Blue) are quite far away which makes it difficult to check in person, I was wondering what is the chance that the colors are identical but Mercedes changed the name out of marketing reasons, and hence changed the code?

If this is in anyway accurate, it's close, but no cigar - Cavansitblau at the bottom, Tansanitblau at the top

The names may change but the codes would stay the same. Quite often the same colour will have a different name in different regions.

As said , the code numbers are more important than the name someone chose for the colour , Canvasite in Swahili might mean something completely different

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow not being called Silver Mist (Germany) and Ford Pinto (Brazil) were very well know examples of language 'issues'
