2000 paint by Ford with short manufacturer/year paint code of KX. This blue automotive paint color is most commonly known as Graphite Blue. Another common paint color promotional name is Stonewashed Blue. The color formulation has been used between 1998 and 2001, primarily by Ford; but also by Lincoln, Nissan and Mercury. We have records of this color appearing on the following models: Continental, Escort, Ford Truck, LS6, LS8, Quest, and Town Car. See the full detailed list below.

The short make/year code for this paint on a 124248 in 2000, is KX. The code KX is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "KX 2000 Lincoln". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M6856 or M6856A. 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.
