Ok so both of those are EB colors.

What's the difference in the
Black (UA ) and the raven black (YC )

does the raven black have a bluish tint or something?

One was a clear coat color one was a single stage. But you can get them either way.

Just a FYI. Ford uses GREEN to make all their blacks for these trucks

Thats definitely a black Eddie Bauer truck. Since its a EB its most likely a 94 or newer with clear coat.

The color darkness is determined by the first coat of paint the gold or desert tan wound be darker than if it was silver. My EB was painted desert tan all over then top coat was applied it's original.

Another thread brought back from the archives, answering a question that no one's asking anymore. But since we're playing, my '95 F-150 Eddie Bauer (as opposed to my '71 EB which I always think of as Early Bronco) was color code LA. It certainly wasn't a light blue, but no one would mistake it for black either.

Wow, that's a nice slide in camper. I've been looking for one just like that without blowing my budget. BTW, I had an EB truck just like that drive by me in the parking lot at the grocery store. he wasn't interested in selling it and i don't blame him one bit! LOL! I told him about my 96 F350,etc.
