Steve,
David Dubin's answer is the closest to the solution I used about 1993. I produced student documents for a training facility. We used a "non-reproducible blue" on 1/3 of the text so students could not reproduce the student manual when they got back to their home company. Unfortunately, I do not remember the color number.
I remember using a pencil with the same color in the 80's for marking up documents. You might call a local art supply store to see if they are still available and get the color number.
