Paint colors and how they stack up

[Richstang]

From the SRG (1967 - Shelby Research Group):

First, a pie chart to show how all the paint colors are divided up.

Next, we have a pie chart to show only the GT350 paint colors.

[Richstang]

And last but not least, we have only the GT500 paint colors

[Richstang]

and just to look a bit deeper in the paint colors we have a Gantt chart.
This shows us how each color was released over the model year. All cars were painted at SJ (FSJ)



EDIT:
Docement was removed as it is an older version...I will get an updated version and repost at that time...

Thanks for the  interesting charts. Interesting on how certain colors seemed more popular on certain models? Or was it a release thing?

Thanks for the chart. You folks at the SRG do a great job compiling information.  Interesting most cars were lime green.  I wonder what drove the decision to offer the most cars in that color.

I believe the lime gold was one of the most popular colors on Mustangs in general in 67 and 68.

+1 - Lime Gold was a new, trendy and popular color, the SAAC registry points out that nearly 25% of the '67 Shelby's were Lime Gold.

Back then and into the early 70s there were rattle can paint you could buy that was metal flake in "trendy" colors. I painted my Schwinn bike in Lime gold metal flake back then. Really. That was before puberty.

I guess for the new car buyer that was the case.  The majority of my teenage group in the 60's were driving used cars with two-tone paint from the 50's and popular colors from the early 60's(black, red, blue, and white).  Do not remember seeing many lime green cars back then.

Thank you for this information.  Is there color break down between GT-350's and GT-500's?

Thanks,

Tim

Exemplary information

[98SVT - was 06GT]

Did SA request colors or did Ford just send them a mix based on their sales projections?
