salans7 Posted Wednesday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:26 PM (edited) If you take a look at the paint chip brochures in the literature section, you'll see that from 1980-1983 white was referred to as "Wimbledon" White. We do not seem to have the factory paint chip brochures for 84-85, and the PPE booklet sections in their place just say white on three different strips. Then in the 1986 brochure, it's called "Colonial" White. So at some point between 83 and 86, Ford changed the name to Colonial White, even though it's pretty much the same "off" shade of white (Polar Bear, Eggshell, etc). I much prefer the 1992?-2024 "Oxford White" and apparently Ford does too since they still use it to this day. It's more of a pure white but still has a darkness to it compared to some other bright white paints.

I was referring to the color brochures that have small paint squares showing the colors available. 84-85 are just rips from the PPG catalogs I used to browse when I was a kid. All the other years have a little booklet from Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
