Official names of Retro exterior colors

[My T]

Recently I saw a post which listed the official FORD names of all the colors of the 2002 - 2005 T Birds. Example it is TORCH Red, not just red. And it is PLATINUM silver, not just silver, and the 02 blue is really THUNDERBIRD blue, and it is MONTEREY Mist Green, not just mist green. Well, you get the idea.

I have tried multiple searches and have not been able to find that post with ALL the ful range of colors.

Anybody remember what thread that was in?

Thanks for your help.

You weren't thinking of this one were you, Tom?

The only one shortened there was the Ice Blue entry and it was corrected later on in the thread.

Dot -
Many thanks.

Yes, that was the post that I was trying to locate. Never thought to enter "abbreviations" into the search box.

Now I have to match up the various years with the correct colors. I will go to your PORTHOLE AUTHORITY site. I think that I can do it there. I never saw it on any TBN thread with the corresponding years.

I am assuming that those listed as "early birds" means that color was pre-2002. Is that correct?

I know that I sound anal about this. But, when you want to know, you want to know. Trivia can be important sometimes.
