How do I find the interior color of my Ford?
The quickest way to identify your Ford’s interior color is to locate the interior trim code on the driver’s door jamb sticker and then cross-check it with Ford’s official color chart or your vehicle’s original window sticker. If you don’t have those labels, you can use the VIN to pull a build sheet or contact a dealer for confirmation.
Interior color names and codes can vary by model year and trim. Some Ford vehicles also hide color information in upholstery tags or in documentation that came with the car when it was new. This guide walks you through the most reliable places to look and how to interpret what you find.
Where Ford stores interior color information
For most Ford vehicles, the interior color or trim code is found on several accessible sources. The driver’s door jamb placard is usually the quickest reference, but there are other places you may check if the door sticker is missing or illegible.
Before you start, note that each source may present the color as a short code or a plain color name. You’ll need to map that code to a full color description using Ford’s official references or a dealer’s database.
- Door jamb sticker: Open the driver’s door and inspect the edge of the door frame for a label that lists trim or color codes (often a 2- or 3-character code alongside other vehicle details).
- Glove box or interior labels: Some models carry a secondary label inside the glove box or on interior panels that mentions trim or color information.
- Original window sticker (Monroney label): If you have access to the vehicle’s original documents, the window sticker lists the interior color and trim as built.
- VIN-based build sheet or Ford Owner portal: Enter the VIN on Ford’s official owner site (MyFord/Owner) or contact a dealer to obtain a build sheet that includes interior color and trim details.
- Upholstery tags or seat tags: Leather or fabric components sometimes include a color/trim code on a tag sewn into the seat or near the seat cushion.
In short, the door jamb label is the most reliable first stop; if it’s unreadable or missing, turn to the VIN-based build sheet or the original window sticker for confirmation.
Decoding and confirming the interior color
Once you’ve found a color name or code, use these steps to translate it into the exact interior shade and order replacements accurately.
- Consult Ford’s official color catalog for the model year and trim to map the code to a formal color name. The catalog is year-specific, so make sure you’re looking at the right version for your car.
- Cross-check the color name or code with dealer catalogs or Ford’s online color swatches to confirm the exact shade, especially for two-tone interiors or special editions.
- If you’re ordering replacement upholstery or trim, provide the code or the exact color name to the dealer to ensure a precise match.
- Be aware that some regions or markets use different names for similar colors; when in doubt, verify with the dealer using the VIN to pull the correct regional specification.
Knowing the precise color code helps with matching upholstery, trim, and parts, and it can simplify resale or repair work when interior finishes need to be reproduced.
Summary
To find your Ford’s interior color, start with the driver’s door jamb sticker—the most common source for a color or trim code. If that label is missing or unclear, use the VIN to retrieve a build sheet through Ford’s official owner portal or contact a dealer, and consult the original window sticker if available. Upholstery tags can also provide color clues. Finally, map the code to Ford’s official color catalog to confirm the exact interior shade for ordering parts or confirming details.
