In addition to other responses you've gotten, there is always the slimmest of
chances it was an original car restored to one of the original and fairly
rare (then and now) blues such as Salvador, or Cotswold; see
<http://www.vtr.org/maintain/paint-charts/acme2.jpg> for reasonably -- on my
monitor, anyway, though a bit dark -- good representations of those and other
late 1950s Triumph colors. Seems to me there were yet other gray-blues in the
latter 1950s in addition to the Cotswold and Salvador, such as Winchester and
Cornflower (that mostly on S-T commercial vehicles, I think).
Or find a color YOU like! :-)
