Resto Question: Visor and Electric Wiper Cover Color?

[f2502011]

What color are the visors and electric wiper cover supposed to be? I'm working on a 76 Bronco Ranger that doesn't appear to have ever had any restoration work. The visors are dirty but seem to have always been white. The electric wiper cover is a peachy tan or off-white? I think Ford calls this Parchment. The original cardboard headliner is still in tact and is white. I'm trying to figure out what color these parts were originally. Can anyone help? I would like to freshen the visors and wiper cover up but need to know what color they should be and what paint I should buy to make them that way.

this is my cover and headliner.. i also have a 76 ranger.. unrestored.. it looks like the wiper cover is an offwhite.. maybe its faded a little even yellowing a little?

That's exactly how mine looks. I've been trying to find some pictures from when they were new but haven't been able to. From looking at yours and mine, and as odd as it seems to me, it seems the visors were more of a white, possibly a light grayish white but ford seems to call this light parchment and it's the same color as the parchment vinyl seat covers you can order from the vendors. The wiper cover is also considered parchment although it's not the same color. I believe it has to do with the difference in material, but it is more of an almond or light tan with a hint of pink. A peachy tan, but also considered parchment even though they are completely different colors and I believe they came like this after looking at a few now.

Looks like parchment white, which fades to "peach" over time.
