Other common color promotional names include Buttercup Yellow, Moroccan Ivory, Pastel Yellow, Sun Haze Yellow, and Yellow. The color formulation has been used between 1960 and 1983, primarily by Mercury; but also by Major Appliance Companys, Ford and Lincoln.

The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M1275 or M1275A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
