Any good auto paint store can mix the paint if you give them the number off your ID plate or the color number or name. They all have formulas going back to the twenties.
You can look up your paint color by the original formula books at the Auto Color Library.

http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1949-packard-pg01.jpg It appears your color is 10476, DAL for Ditzler lacquer, DQE for enamel. There is another slightly lighter turquoise shown for the 1950 model.
Any paint company can cross reference these numbers. The local store may not have the formula but they should be able to get it from the head office in a few hours.
Incidentally if you had the original formula it would not do you any good. Paint companies reformulate their paints every few years and have to revise all their old formulas. They can only go by the number or by matching a sample off your car.
