The original color was a cream white bottom with a green top. I'll try to get the color code for you sometime next week.

You guys that know more - is the "Cream" an off white, truly Cream, which in my opinion would be nice - or a "bright white" as is occasionally seen?

There were some of each. Stardust Ivory is a true white which was often paired with Tropical green. Palm Beach Ivory and Concert Ivory are off-white. It was with green on the '54 Kaisers and I believe some '53s as well.

Just added the paint code number found under the hood to the pics. Looks like it was a Stardust Ivory with the metallic green on the top.  I've also attached a Dupont paint card to this.
