Title: Ford: can someone tell me what colour this is
Post by: Webby the Bear on 26 March 2013, 22:17:59
dudes, completely forgot to mention.

I saw a ford focus today. the colour I can only describe as a combination of beige, grey and brown. I've googled this and cant find it. cant find it (for some reason) on the ford site either. any ideas what colour this is. its like the most disgusting colour ive ever seen!!!!

I thought about it some more... it has a hint of purple in there. i'm going to look out today and if the owners about im going to ask him a.) what the colour code is and b.) what on earth made you decide ''hmmm I want my car that colour''

There's loads of colours out there at the moment like that. Peugeot/Citroen seem to excel in them  ;D

I'd describe the colour of that Cortina......as being very close to the colour of boiled shite.( not that I've done the experiment) :y

P.S    What was the difference between a Mk4 and Mk 5 "Tina"?.......they look identical to my untrained eye.

Didn't Ford call the Mk5 Cortina something other than the Mk5, given how similar it was to the Mk4? Quick Google - "Cortina 80". Indeed.

Vauxhall do a lovely metallic vomit colour on the Corsa, my boss has one and I keep meaning to ask him if he's had his eyes tested, but I fear I'd end up on a charge...

Was it a new Focus?

It was called Tuscan Beige - I had one from new, a 1981 1.6L Estate  :y

Woaaaa - hold on, that pic is actually of a Mk4. The Mk5s had black plastic door mirrors mounted in the front corners of the doors as opposed to the mirror mounted on the door itself as in this picture. There were other differences as well - but it was 32 years ago so the old memory isn'y what it was. IIRC the L upwards had A frame head restraints and a clock + trip distance meter which the older ones didnt have.

If its was a newish car, then it could be their electric white. Which is nice on a sunny day, but on a cloudy day appears a horrible pale bluish grayish tinge.

It looks to me to be Mica Stone[don't know the paint code],never the most popular of colours even when they did a shade of it on the last shape of Escort!I may be wrong here but I don't think it's actually matt,it can look that way as it doesn't reflect the light as much as most colours
