Unfortunately, viewing aged paint chips is about as chancy and unreliable as viewing colors on a PC monitor, and the combination of the two leaves a lot of room for doubt. Best bet is to take a scan from a part from an original car, or benefit from someone who has researched it very thoroughly and done all the work for you.

That said, for what ever it's worth the 38 Super Eight sedan looks about right to me for my recollection of Packard Cream. But you should be able to get a cross reference from the Duco number noted above.
