Best I can find is for house paint colors.

Go to this website

http://easyrgb.com/index.php?X=SEEK

Then enter 40-104-148 for the front color and 165-184-199 for the rear color then select your preferred brand of paint.

Looks like the rear color is Australian Railways Commonwealth Silver. Very close on the RGB values.

For the blue you could try TruColor VIA Blue and add some white till you get a good match. The VIA blue is too dark but I think a few drops of white would get you there.

As for the silver / gray is it a fade or even color throughout?

Model Master's Intermediate Blue looks really close.

I'm thinking you should look at Wabash colors. Good Luck!
