(Medium Yellow : Ford : 1981 - 1984)
This yellow automotive paint color is most commonly known as Medium Yellow. Another common paint color promotional name is Yellow. The color formulation has been used between 1981 and 1984, primarily by Ford; but also by Mercury. We have records of this color appearing on the model of Mustang and Ranger. 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.
