28 closed cab pickup colors

[Dick M]

I have been looking at color combinations for a 28 closed cab pickup. The only two combinations I could find are black/black and rockmoss green/black. Is that correct or are there more? Thanks for your response..

Judging standards say or your own choice

Thanks Gary. I appreciate the help.

Be warned, even though the color names say otherwise, they are all dark green in nature. Except for black.

Wasn't aware of that!
Color chips in the published Paint And Finish Guides therefor must be wrong.
Commercial Gray and the latter Commercial Drab were also available, and not at all dark green from the examples previous posters have shared, but it's an elusive color to find original examples of.

Cant find the thread now, but Marco had posted pics of door cards and upholstery strips in Commercial Gray/Drab, can't recall which, but its looks closer to Dawn Gray then Rock Moss Green, IMHO

Thank you Neil,
I was/am aware of the color drop in Aug28 as you had addressed in previous thread - https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...747#post980747

Was merely looking for clarification, as I have not seen either Commercial Gray or Commercial Drab in person or online to verify.
As Hitman pointed out, were all the colors just varying shades of Dark Green?
(except for black)

Do you happen to have any examples of the 28 Commercial Gray or 29 Commercial Drab colors?

No intention of hijacking this thread, only hoping to gain the knowledge from those in the know...

And Thanks again Neil for all the work you have done on the Commercial Vehicles...

Edition 4 of the "Model A & AA Paint & Finish Guide has a color sample of Commercial Gray (page 71). It is a dark green which looks lighter than Rock Moss Green (page 65).

Commercial Drab is shown on page 55. It looks to be a brownish green to me (similar to Kewanne Green).

The attached is a comparison of the three colors. Created via my scanner. So, not usable for paint production (use original paint chips).

Have not ordered the new guide as yet, an unsure I will from some of the posts I've read.
Can clearly see differences and the darkness of the colors.
Thanks Neil


P.S. - Hitman, I humbly stand corrected!

Commercial Drab is closer to what I had been thinking of.
