I don't see a Crescent Blue listed for 1941 Packard colors, though they did have some introductory colors; my chip set is DuPont. All I see are Legion Blue and Algiers Blue (both metallic), and Packard Blue and Barola Blue (metallic). Looks to me like Barola Blue is quite close but as noted just before, given the erratic representation of colors digitally, you'd probably have to see the actual car to be more certain.

According to Packard's "Information on the 1941 Cars" of January 20, 1941, the single color schemes in blue were Code B, Packard Blue, or Code L, Barola Blue metallic. The two-tone scheme in blue was Code FA, body, bonnet and radiator above the moulding, and wheels in Algiers metallic Blue and the remainder of the car in Legion Blue metallic.
