Nope, until 2007, there has only been one blue color - B17 - Daytona Blue.

You're talking about aftermarket paint, I assume - I'm talking about the factory color.

By definition, there's only one B17. Different manufacturers' paint will produce different shades due to variations in their pigments, base paint, etc. I'm trying to find the post to verify, but I believe the Nissan EOM paint is PPG.

The code is B17....I have an 05 and its on the door jam on the driver side...There are different shades of B17 from PPG...I recently had my passenger door repainted due to a key scratch. And when I took it to get the paint they had a few shades to pick from all of which were B17...I then chose the one that matched the best.
