Just wondering ... does anyone know if the color is changing, or is it just the name? And if it's just the name, anyone know why?

 

I've been wondering that myself, but I don't know for sure.....

I think maybe they are the same just from the name, but I'm not sure....

 

The lime gold is a real gold color. It looks nothing like legend lime.

 

If the color were still the same, why would they change the name?

 

I'd read that on another site. It didn't make any sense to me either, that's why I was asking.

 

i'm not sure if ford is going to do an exact replica of the old lime gold of the '60s, but if they do it would look like this

Except for when the color list for 06 is wrong.

 

:stubborn:

 

I don't really see much of a difference between this and the Legend Lime they have for 05?

Does anybody kknow? :scratch:

 

There is a lot more gold in the above pic. Sorry if that sounds totally obvious...you could always get the paint codes from both and go look them up on a paint site.

OK...I tried it. It's really hard to tell though...I'm sure in person the difference would be more obvious.

The link for the lime gold is http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search...7-ford-pg01.jpg.

 

Ford has done it before.

In 2000 my car color was called Amazon Green... in 2001 (my year) - 2003 it became Tropic Green.

Same paint code.. same color.

 

They did the same changing Canary Yellow to Chrome Yellow. Same color.

 

Thanks for the info. It looks a little darker then the Legend lime I guess?

I'm still a little confused as to if it's the same color or not? :scratch:

 

I remember a post awhile ago that said the two colors had the same color code.

 

Thanks to everyone who's tried to help figure this out ... guess we won't know for sure 'til the "official" colors are out. Thanks for posting the colors Steve -- the Lime Gold definitely looks darker/muddier than the Legend Lime. I hope they don't change it.

 

I hope they don't either! I think the Legend lime rocks!

 

They ought to move to a real Gold - like the Champagne Gold Metallic on my former '69 fastback (pic below).

Incidently, the '69 and '70 color codes are the same for this gold but in 70 it was called Medium Gold Metallic - same color, same code, different names!

 

Interesting...if you could find that post, it'd be great!

 

yes its different i saw a SN95 on the parkway in lime gold...its pretty nice
