What colour primer under "Cool Blue"?

Does anyone know what colour primer the factory uses under the "Cool Blue" basecoat? I'm ordering some new wheel arches, spoilers, and door sills to paint body-colour, but since Cool Blue is a metallic/pearlescent, I'm fairly certain the colour of the primer is going to affect the final colour of the painted parts.

If all else fails, I'll go with a light grey primer and see how it turns out, but thought I'd ask first.

I am not sure of the actual color, but if all else fails wouldn't it be better to use a light blue tinted primer to help out the blue paint? Just a thought though.
