Default Ford badge colour

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong spot. Just wondering if anybody would know the details for Ford blue as in the colour of the badge. I want to mix it into a house paint to paint a set of shelves I am going to make for my man cave. Thanks

Off the top of my head I would say the colour would be "Ford Corporate Blue"...........the paint code or codes? would be easy enough to google.

Cheers Mick

You can take any badge or picture of the badge or even something that is the exact colour you want....to the paint shop, they will scan the item and give you paint that colour. Costs nothing to paint match....just the paint ;)

It's a great colour!! Ford tractor blue is the colour of my garage walls with black highlights. Even got an antique rusty ford tractor sign to boot ( hate the term man cave)
And I bought one of those mint Ford logo shaped blue/white coffee tables a forum member made awhile ago.(now lit up)

It's not as simple a question as you may think. The badge has undergone extensive changes over the years with the current 100th Anniversary badge (2003) actually using a darker and lighter shade of the Ford Blue than previously used.

The Pantone colour for Ford Blue is PMS 294C.

Cheers
Russ

Correct, we print the Ford Genuine Parts Labels using PMS 294
