A very exacting duplicate of the original material is available as "colonial long grain" roof topping from either Restoration Specialties or Restoration Supply, that's what I used on my 34 and it was a dead match for the original. As to color, I've heard it debated before but my opinion is that they were originally all black with the possible exception of cars with custom coachwork. But we also know that some folks have subsequently colorized them. Even though the photos are B&W, you might look thru the original Packard factory photos from the Making of Modern Michigan collection to see if you can see any evidence to the contrary.
