(Ginger : Dodge : 1980 - 1983)
This code is listed in our database as an offset listing to PPG code 3271; therefore, the results below are from that code.

This brown automotive paint color is most commonly known as Ginger. Another common paint color promotional name is Brown. The color formulation has been used between 1980 and 1983, primarily by Dodge; but also by Plymouth, Chrysler. See the full detailed list below.

Some Chrysler paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and a longer code which does not change. One of these longer codes which we track is the DT or Dodge Truck or Fleet code. This is one of only a very few DT codes that starts with the letters "DT" and does not end in a 4 digit number. We are not sure about the use of this paint, it is probably very early or a basic color. Codes in the DT6000 to DT6999 range are generally brown beige or gold shades. These DT codes do not change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Chrysler paint. In many cases Chrysler has assigned DT codes to popular paint from other manufacturers to use as special order paints.

The DT paint set is one of the few that includes many of the official US Military paint colors.

In this case, DT6543 appears to be a special order paint for a popular paint named Ginger by Dodge.
