We had to replace a toggle switch for our bilge blower on our 2005 260DA, and the parts manual specified part #1757312. However, the parts website indicated that many manuals are in error and the part # is often 1944875 instead (darker Sea Ray blue). (The switch said Carling, blue, and had a four digit number that we later found out is just a manufacture code that varies, not any sort of part number.) We hedged our bets and ordered one of each. The parts website lists them as LT-1511-3 and LT-1511-4. The original part number from the manual WAS correct. The #1757312 (LT-1511-3) is the correct blue for our boat. It is lighter blue than then the other part # but matches the other switches and the dash backlight that light up the switch names. It's almost more of a blue/green, I think. I thought I'd save someone else with the same boat from the hassle of trying to figure it out.

(Side note-the "Sea Ray" blue 1511-4 may actually say red or other color because they use other switches and swap the lens for the Sea Ray special blue. It just wasn't the correct blue for our 05 260 DA.)
 
What "parts website" are you ordering from? There is no consumer-available "Sea Ray" parts website to order from that I'm aware of. Any place that says they are "Sea Ray" would be an aftermarket company - not the real Sea Ray. The 1757312 is an internally assigned part number by Sea Ray - it does not directly correspond to any manufacturer's part number.

Searay-parts.com (FP Marine) My original switches and the replacement are manufactured by Carling.
 
Perhaps I wasn’t clear, but I knew it was a different parts website and not Sea Ray. They cross reference by Sea Ray part # which I how I found the switches I needed. My point was to mention the color that matched my particular boat, since there seem to be errors in some of the Sea Ray manuals.
