Wheel paint color
 
What is the paint color for the hubcaps on 1968 pickup?
Argent silver?
And what color red for the center?

Argent Silver is correct.
I don't know the name of the right hue of red used on the Bow Ties on hubcaps, grille emblems, fender badges, etc. I see it as touch lighter [that is more 'orangey'] than Primary Red. I would call it Vermillion.

I'm dying to find a polished Stainless set.
But until I do, I have a set of '67 painted white ones, that I will paint silver, like the '68's

I used chevy orange engine paint on my hubcap bowties a few years ago. Seemed like a very good match.
