Default Ford Aubergine

Nothing interesting really..

Ford Aubergine as found on the escort cosworth is very dark purple..ish.

And here comes the boring question.. What colour does it say in the logbook?

My puma is now this colour and may need to change it from black.

Thanks!

Thanks the replies.. The colour I need is what Ford gave it for DVLA purposes. They have a limited number of colours, my guess is purple but really need to know what it says it a logbook. Hoping someone who owns an escort cosworth in this colour can confirm!

My rs2000 4x4 was dark aubergine and the log book said RED,
I had it checked out at a ford dealers and I was told Dark Aubergine cars were registered as either Black or Red

When mine was painted I asked for the darkest shade so wondering if for mine it would say black... Which would be handy as the car was black before!

It doesn't have to be a primary colour. I'd say purple.

Thanks for this.. I think I might leave it as black. The only other colour on there I think it would be is purple.

But the aubergine I wanted and got is dark, it shows it's colour in the sun.

Wow, so it seemed like whoever registered the car at the time, if it was aubergine, got whatever colour they fancied.

Doesn't seem like any pattern is emerging here

Maybe I'm colour blind but the obvious choices from the ones the DVLA sent me seem like black or purple!
