Original Paint Color

Original Paint Color
For the last few weeks I have been keeping tabs on the Dents for sale, listed on Craigslist. I have concentrated my searches to the Pacific Northwest, mainly from Northern California into Canada and as far east as Montana.
Of the approximately 1,000 truck ads I have seen , only two were maroon in color. This seemed to be an awful low number, compared to the total number of truck ads I have looked at.
My '78 is maroon, color code "N", and I have seen a few others over the years here in the Portland Oregon area. I never thought of maroon being an odd, or rare, color on a dent, but after looking over these ads it seems maroon isn't that common.
So, to the point of this thread.
What is the model year original color and color code (if known) of your truck?
No real purpose to this, other than idle curiosity.
Thanks.

Mike,
Interesting that you mention your truck's color was exclusive to Explorers. My maroon '78 is an Explorer, and one of the other maroon trucks I was familiar with was an '78-'79 Explorer as well.
I will do some digging and see if possibly maroon was a later Explorer only color.
Thanks for the input.
