Paint code

Hello all. I'm getting some minor paintwork done on my '96 turbo 'vert and have run into a curious issue. The paint code on my door says 170, which is black, but my car is midnight blue. From what I've read midnight blue was not available until 1997 (from 2 paint websites). Possibilities:
#1 car is actually a 1997 even though all info decals say '96 as does registration
#2 door was replaced with a black one but painters did a seriously good job repainting it.. and my car has no claims
#3 Both paint websites are wrong and Saab did have midnight blue in '96
#4 whole car repainted, seems unlikely and definitely a factory quality job
#5 wrong paint code on the sticker? seems unlikely
also worth noting is that I ordered touch up paint from eeuroparts called midnight blue that matched perfectly, so the car is definitely midnight blue. Just curious mostly...any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
