Need paint name or code for my Bronco

[Evanmonday]

Hi All!
I figure this is the best place to go to find out what the name or paint code is for my 66 Bronco. I dont know how to post personal photos to the site so I found the closest color matching bronco I could find online.

Its the popular blue color you see on a lot of the restored Bronco's. Here is an image:

Not really sure how to use this thread system to post photos... Hopefully this worked.

I am seeing posts stating Blue Lagoon Metallic and Vista Blue. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the site Evanmonday… That's a good looking rig.

Welcome to the site! Not sure if you are looking for your factory 66 color or not. The bronco in the pic isn't a factory color for that year as far as I know...

That's not a 66 color, Marlin was the only dark blue color offered. Not sure what that color palate is above either, not 66 bronco.

okie4570, I thought you would comment on this post. I removed the pic as it was incorrect. Ive had some color charts saved in a folder on my computer for a while and didnt realizxe how far off that one was. It had some of the colors but not all and some incorrect ones.

This reference is from CJPony Parts. It is missing quite a few of the paint colors that you listed. I know you know a ton about the early stuff so I am just curious how you learned of the colors... It is hard to find matching info doing a simple search.

Hi, What is the paint code letter on the VIN? My 66 has always been Marlin Blue. Paint code W. I am very happy with the color. I get a lot of compliments about the color. It is a Ford Truck color, never a car color. Marlin Blue is medium blue, but seems to have some gray in it. Some people call it slate blue. Good luck

Bronco above looks grabber blue to me, I have that.

Here are example of marlin blue, it is a grayer looking blue to me

Not sure what the OP color is
