(Medium Cabernet : Ford : 1987 - 1993)
This red automotive paint color is most commonly known as Medium Cabernet. Another common paint color promotional name is Cabernet Red.

We have records of this color appearing on the following models: Bronco, Escort, Explorer, Mustang, Ranger, and Tracer. See the full detailed list below.

Dupont codes starting with a letter and ending in a 4 digit number were assigned to most new and existing paints staring in 1980 to the present. Sometimes these codes had an additional letter added to the end to differentiate finish or location. These codes are a good way to track page usage between models and years.
