There were two different Thunderbird Blues made in 2002. I don't remember witch way they were produced but Ford used DuPont for part of the year and PPG for another part of the year and if set side by side you can see the difference.
Were is the paint? If it is on a car, easy pick. 2002. If not on a car, but some part, then not so easy, could be a Light Ice Blue.
It's a hardtop. I printed light Ice Blue and held it next to it and it didn't seem to match (I realize that isn't definitive). You've got me thinking, I wasn't concerned with the year, but if I can match the shade of the headliner to 2002 then it should be Thunderbird Blue.

Pretty sure you have a Thunderbird Blue. If you have any interior trim from a 2003 and up, you can match up to the headliner. Not a lot of difference, but you can tell.
Brad, 2nd picture looks like Thunderbird blue which is the only blue for 2002. Driver's Door tag would read LY under "EXT PNT"
As for what Gobird says, only the very early production cars (June 2001 or earlier) had the slightly different paint.
Thanks Dot, no door, no door tag (I only have the hardtop). Headliner is 2002 and I don't see any signs of repaint so I'm pretty confident "Thunderbird Blue" is the correct answer. I appreciate everyone's help!
In case it hasn't come up before, I noticed that the Hardtop pins are different on 2002 verses 2003. (The black coating)
