Canadian Paint code 57

Hello wondering if someone can tell me the factory colour on my 1950 fleetleader, it shows paint code 57 on the tag, thanks!

Are you sure it's 57? My book doesn't show that code for 1950. Could it be 51? That code is Brunswick Blue
Oddly my book shows two "56" paint codes. I wonder if that's a typo and the second "56" should be "57"? If so, that second "56" denotes Minerva Blue

Even up side down I can see it's 57.

 This book is usually a quite good reference source but we've identified a few other errors also. The book is really a monsterous amount of data and was compiled way back in the typewriter days so we can expect a few typos.

 

A Dupont swatch book that I have lists GM of Canada code 57 in 1950 as Minerva Blue with a mix code of Dulux DU-736.

This would verify Todd's typo assumption.
