The R-M colour sheets (as used on the respected Auto Color Library website),
list the Coronet Cream formula with the following header :

" CORONET CREAM
CORONATION COLOUR     1953
Colour Reference: (meaning color is similar to:) Canyon Beige 1959 DeSoto "

Queen Elizabeth wore, on June 2 1953, a deep blue robe decorated with silver
coronets.  A coronet is a crown worn by the Royal Family and peers during the
ceremony.

Many British manufacturers introduced special Coronation tribute products.
The Ariel Square Four motorcycle, for example, was offered in a special blue
Coronation scheme for 1953 only.

So it would seem that a blue interior would be appropriate for a Coronet Cream
car.

Best regards
