Okay, depending on whether it's a MKI or MKII it should be one of these:
Wolseley Hornet Saloon Mk I (1961-1962)
Paint -------------------------------------- Seats
Pale Ivory (YL1) Damask Red (RD5)---- Grey/Cardinal Red
Pale Ivory (YL1) Damask Red (RD5)---- Cardinal Red

Or these:
Wolseley Hornet Saloon Mk II (1963-1966)
Paint----------------------------------------- Seats
Pale Ivory (YL1) Damask Red (RD5)------ Cardinal Red
Toga White (WT5) Damask Red (RD5)---- Cardinal Red
Toga White (WT5) Damask Red (RD5)---- Dove Grey

Here is a link to this paint chart.

I also recommend getting a Heritage Certificate from http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk to see exactly how it came from the factory.

If it helps at all, the Toga White mentioned has always looked more like alight grey to me.
