www.autocolorlibrary.com doesn't seem to list the Packard colors past '53. You can try them by phone.
DuPont would have the codes, but you have to be a registered auto business to get on their site or contact a DuPont distributor directly.
Did you check this site/literature for '56 color chips?
If you can get the Packard paint code number and manufacturer they should be able to cross it. Otherwise, without documentation, it might be made for or by whomever shot the last paint and non-standard.
Metallics as stated above are subject to the spray conditions and may not look the same even if the formula is correct. A good paint shop can match metallics by adjusting pressure, thinning, spray angle, # coats, etc. Do test panels first.
