What's the model of the radio, or are you refurbishing the newer Revivals? If those (and plenty of them need it), I'm surprised if you want to source the original fabric, it's horrible stuff lately - I have Roberts models from the 1930s-80s whose covering is still very presentable, but most of those I see offered second-hand from the last five years or so look as though they've been dragged half a mile down the road on the end of a piece of string, The brand's reputation has to be suffering.
They've used several different blues over the years, especially with the coming of the Revivals where at one point there were about a dozen standard colours and various special finishes, but Oxford blue was popular from the '30s to the '60s and has appeared on some Revivals etc. since: it hasn't been a constant shade, some versions especially after aging could be taken for black.
