Helping a friend do a correct restoration of his '56 3100 pick-up. It has a 6.(235). Question is what color is the engine supposed to be?

I believe that would be the dark gray. The paint sold by The Filling Station is generally considered by the VCCA to be the correct gray. Since Chevy had the paint mixed by different makers in many batches, there were differing hues but all were similar.
