What is this Ford colour?, can’t find any info on code!

Hi, I’m struggling to identify the colour of my sierra if someone could please help I would be very grateful!

Colour code on the plate under bonnet is stamped 53

I’ve tried searching and can’t find anything related to the colour code unless I’m looking at the wrong thing!


Thanks in advance!

I’d say Moonstone Blue, same as the Cosworth

Looks very like Moonstone.

I reckon it looks Glacier Blue

If I remember right first digit is the colour code and 2nd digit is the year

I don't have a chart with these lookups though , needs a ford brain on it

5 - colour code
3 - 1983

The VIN code WF0AXXGBBAEA71342 breaks down as

Manufacturer Identifier: WF0
Body type: 5 Door Hatchback
Line: Ford Germany (Own Assembly)
Assembly Plant: Genk (Belgium)
Model: Mondeo/Cougar/Sierra/Cortina/Taunus
Year: 1984 (some codes are used for more than one year)
Month: March
Production Sequence: 61342

According to this Ford Paint site, Glacier Blue does look the prime candidate (being the only blue metallic) though none of the sites recognise 53 as a colour code

Apparently this is from 1983...

But the range of colours you could have. Now fast forward to 2022, its nothing like this.

I sold these back in the day and that looks awfully like Paris Blue to me.
