2 Tone Help

My 74 F100 is 2 Tone and I can't seem to identify the specific white portion. The paint code is 8 which is Sandpiper Yellow. I bought this PPG color touch-up and it is an exact match. But the code does not indicate which white the other part is. It seems like an eggshell or off-white color.
Does anyone know which white Ford paired with a sandpiper yellow 2 Tone ?

Not 100% sure with your truck, but Ford used a lot of "wimbledon white" as an off-white in that era.

Any decent pain supplier will have a book that you can look up paint chips by year/make/model.

If the only COLOR code is 8, the truck was not tu-toned originally.

So, it could be Wimbledon White, which is an off white, or Oxford White, which is a bright white, or who knows if painted after the truck was sold new.

Oxford White was used beginning in the 1970's. and is still used today. The land yacht in my sig is Oxford White.
