...If your paint turn's out wrong, blame moexplorer97...:

Find your Ford vehicle here, then find your year, and match the color code

FYI paint code TR (Medium Graphite Metalic) is exterior trim code for fender flares in case anyone is interested.

That half answered my question, that looks right, but Im still needin to find the exact color, want to match my grill to my bumper

holy crapola i have always wanted to know what color mine was LL Deep Wedgewood Blue never heard of the color of seen any others like it

 

[Tbars4]

...This thread comes in quite handy when having to do touch ups, but I was like you...I hadn't seen an X around here with my color and really wanted to find out what it was..:biggthump

 

[V8powerbaby]

but really who comes up with the color wedgewood blue

 

[Tbars4]

...The term "Wedgewood" comes from the Famous English Pottery family, The Wedgewood's...There are also other colors such as Wedgewood Green that were made famous by this family...

..Some other facts about "Wedgewood" can be found here..
http://www.answers.com/topic/wedgwood

"Wedgwood blue is a light shade of blue; the term is used for example to describe some RAF uniforms."

"Josiah Wedgwood may refer to several men from the Wedgwood pottery dynasty"

"Thomas Wedgwood may refer to several members of the Wedgwood family of famous potters, it was a name used for the first son, giving the line"

found my little 2in1 scratch fix easily but had to special order the 12oz can from O'Reillys lol no one in town had it in stock not even Napa and O'Reillys was the only place that could order it

Just to clarify--

UA is NOT BLACK!!!
it is actually called, and is, EBONY

If you have some mixed you will see them mix brown and blue into the black base--FYI

it is not a true jet black, although, Ford does have a true Black color

Ebony has a slight, but still present, brownish tint in the black

...Come on Jon, let's sing together, "Ebony and Ivory, live together in, harmony"..You know you want to..

...I have updated the first post...

Hi Tbars4
FYI my UK explorer has Colour (i mean color in US) has the codes FLRC so the main body is FL and the lower half and arches are RC.
Both of these codes appear in your US list.
Also FL listed as Torreador Red c/c. Reading earlier posts someone said that it includes clear coat. Surely it means the colour base is applied then c/c is applied over to acheive the required finish.

..I am hoping to hear from others from across the pond as to what colors and the location of their tags ...I heard some are under the bonnet while some are on the door...

 

[janolsson]

Hi yes forgot to say but my tag is under the bonnet. I haven't checked the door pillar as my truck is at a workshop and i couldn't get the doors open as is wedged between a couple of cars, so checked under the bonnet and luckily enough there it was.

mine is KN which is dark lapis met. i have yet to see another x with this color on it.
