dark blue in 49 would have been "Sheridan Blue" which is one of the best colors in my opinion for these trucks. Black, Sheridan Blue and Meadow Green they all look really good.

You can search some period and later; Dupont, sherwin Williams or Ditzler paint charts on Ebay, they're not usually too much money. Another printed source for colors is the Salesman Data Books.

...Doing some research and i don't think the Sheridan Blue came out until 1950? I don't have a Data book from 49 so its hard to say.
