Exterior Color Codes
Over the years, a Mercury Cougar may have been painted by a previous owner. Some have been know to have three or four coats of paint on them. But, maybe you want to know what the orginal color the factory painted the car.
On this page, you can find out what the orignal exterior color of the Cougar was, as long as yoy know the color code from the car you are looking into.
In Two-Tone combinations, the first letter or number indicates the lower color (main body). The second letter or number indicates the upper color (roof).
NOTE: You may see a reference to CBTN. That stands for the book Cougar by the Numbers by Kevin Marti.
