Brad..to be accurate, go to the source of the American Racing 
colors....Cunningham and Arnolt-Bristol Racing Team cars.  I own/race an 
Arnolt-Bristol that replicates the true 1955 A-B team cars.  The color is 
from Cadillac's paint chart of that era.   Why not contact the Collier Museum 
in Naples FL, where they have several Cunningham team cars in the collection, 
or even the current Cunningham Automotive Co. which is making the retro 
versions.

The blue shades changed slightly as paint changed over the years....the 
LeMans cars should be the standard to follow.  Don't go by what old vintage 
racers thing they saw....we all have poor "mindsight" most of the time!!!

Best racing,
