The HLT is definitely a blue/black and the Pro-Class is a brown/black finish.

I replicated the Pro-Class finish a long time ago, using tinted clearcoat from a local car paint dealers.  The original Pro-Class frames were tinted clearcoat over chrome.

Do you have any photos or a link to photos of the bikes finish?

I had it mixed up by a paint shop, I went in and basically messed around until the shade I wanted was produced.
