The actual paint color names are indeed Ford Blue and Ford Red. Blue and Orange are the NY Mets colors, lol.

I knew Ford Blue, but they should have called the Ford Red, Ford Orange since it isn't even red.

Since Chevy has an orange then I guess Ford wanted to be different.

The valve covers and air cleaners were painted "Ford Red" on 64 1/2-65 170s and 200s. They went to "Ford Blue" in 66. You can get those colors from most of the big parts dealers.
