    So I was checking my color codes on my comet, and it came in knight white. I was wondering if anyone has a pic of their car (or any for that matter) in this color? Cause it seems like almost a tan-ish color based off the sample I can see and my car definitely looks nothing like it. Check it out on this link:

    Does knight white actually look that dark/off white??

    That's what I was thinking, I bet they are pretty close. My 74 is Polar White, a little brighter.

    Wimbeldon white looks white in general, but put it next to any other white car, especially Polar white, and then it DOES look like dirty briefs.

    So this begs the question:
    What did Mercury call Wimbledon white???



    Edit:
    I just looked at your chart.
    That is what Ford called Wimbledon white.
    All the Ford Sprints were that color white.
