Sam.........rumor has it that the Dealers were under pressure from Ford Sales to conform to the NEW WORLD tractor BLUE color scheme. That appearently included re-painting any used tractors on display. (painting was cheap?) The OEM 9N was uniformally painted dark GRAY variously described as battleship gray, forest gray, industrial maintenance gray, Ferguson gray. Unfortunately, Ford never published a paint formula. (like 3 parts of white and 1 part of black, eye of a frog, blood of a bat, (grin) My take? I think Ford used the cheapest BEST PAINT they could find. And they bought it in 55 gal drums and sprayed hundreds of tractors a day and so the gray in the morning might not exactly match the gray in the afternoon. And my eye-ball gray probably won't match yer eye-ball gray. And paint fades so todays paintjob won't necessairly match last years paintjob lettalone 50 yr old paint. And the ONLY TIME I care about paint matching, is when I'm matching NEW PAINT over OLD PAINT on my tractor, and then I'd probably repaint the whole tractor and not worry about matching. I donnna care what the pc tractor paint inspector sez about matching some other tractor's color. It ain't gonna happen. Its yer tractor, paint it any color that pleases you.........the color insensitive Dell
