In Noland Adams book, Vol. 1, p. 306-307, he describes 1958 color combinations. A blue-gray exterior is RPO 502A, and the interior "trim", including paint, upholstry, dash, etc. is RPO 490B. I have seen the blue-grey, and I would describe it as a light blue/silver metallic color. Quite attractive actually. When I painted my 58 interior years ago (Signet Red), I used Duco, and the local auto paint store was able to provide an exact match paint from their own ccmpany charts and formula in Duco lacquer. Hope this helps.

I ordered my Inca Silver and Signet Red from TCP Global online. Their site is easy to use and my paints came from their classic series and restoration paints. I have also talked to their reps who are very knowledgeable and very helpful. I had done a lot of online searching from several classic car forums and their reviews were all positive. Many of the reviews commented favorably on how accurate their color matching is.
