Exterior 1966 Mustang Colors & Codes
Below is a list of exterior colors, colors codes, samples, paint codes and PPG codes for the 1966 Mustang. There were 18 exterior paint colors for the 1966 Ford Mustang. Note that the trunk spatter finish is Black and White on Gray Brown, DX-1756 (PPG). It is hard to see the colors on the web, so we decided to include the 1966 Mustang color chart below the codes table for reference. Below that is a second ’66 Mustang color chart with PPG numbers too.
In addition to regular colors, special additional colors offered were: Palomino Metallic, Medium Silver Metallic, Maroon Metallic, Silver Blue Metallic & Light Beige.
The following were the interior trim options. During the first Mustang generation, the interior materials used changed all the time. That means that “blue vinyl” from two adjacent years might look different. This isn’t just because of the dye, but also the vinyl’s texture.
