I'm pretty sure that first photo matches "Canyon Coral", a 1957 Chevy color. The second one looks like bronze to me. I could look it up and get you the name of that bronze if you want.

Canyon Coral is a lot more pinkish

Its the only name on the '57 Chevy paints that is close. There is no Dusky Pearl on any of the charts for ordering original paints. Yours is much better looking, like custom paints in the days when enamel paints were baked on.

Ahhh.... Yup. I reckon Holden out here used both those colours too. The Coral was quite a nice colour when offset with cream trim.
