does anyone has the proper paint code for the white (sort of creamy)for a 1955 Caribbean. For information the bottom color is the dark blue and the middle one is the light powder like blue.
Appreciate any information you can give me.

Walt,

Can you find some paint to color match on your car?

You can identify the color by name from the 1955 paint chips in the Literature and Manuals section of packardinfo.com

Ditzler sold out to PPG, so they can convert the original Ditzler lacquer color formula to the mix using the newest automotive PPG paint technologies.

The Duchess uses PPG Envirobase (watersoluable, very Oregon) for the Blackhawk Grey color. The clear topcoat is urethane.

Do you mean letter code for the VIN-Trim-Paint plate? If that's what you're looking for, the code was M - White Jade.
