There's 2 shades of blue in the modern logo.
ref: FORD UPDATES OVAL AS CORPORATE LOGO ![]() No, I don't know the name of either. Try asking the Ford Discovery Centre. They love questions like that :hihi:

I found an old Ford logo that has the colour as a Pantone 294. If you're talking about vinyl stickers, just tell them that number and they should be able to match it or get that exact same colour. That colour is just for printed purposes, however I remember reading somewhere that the blue in the actual badges on the car is a unique mix that only Ford knows - or those who do know are sworn to secrecy

The colour "conquer" on BF's is a pretty close match.

I thought the logo was more of a gradient than 1 or 2 colours.

Its called 'close enough is good enough'.
even if you had the name, that wouldnt help much. ask them to get the colour as close as they can, they should have a swatch book with colours to choose from. and ask for a proof or something before they wack it on your car.
