UNKNOWN INTERIOR CODE
My 05 Limited has the interior trim code of "NH". I am trying to buy the proper leather dye color and trying to run this down is insane. Nowhere have I been able to find that combination of letters. It seems the H stands for medium parchment but there are variations on that. I've tried using color code charts the manufacturers of the dyes have and I've gone through the Tech Folder--nothing is definitive and its pretty hard to tell the difference by their online color swatches. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I've been able to tell, the first letter of the two letter code has to do with the configuration of the interior (ie captains chairs). The second letter is the color code. There's an example in this thread for some unknown year of F series

The window sticker from your vehicle says the interior color on it.

Yea in my experience that sticker site only works on newer cars, newer being the last 8 years or so. IIRC I tried my 2005 F-150 and it didn't work. I tried it also and it didn't work for my 2000 Ex or my 95 Cobra. It did work however for my 2011 GT and my 2011 MKX. But I already had stickers for both those cars soooooooo not so helpful.

Seems like it's stacked against us. The people who need it most are the ones who can't get it *Le sigh*

I used it a lot when I was looking at 2007-2010 cars and it was 100%. I guess that's around the cutoff date. I was specifically using it to see if interior colors were tan or gray since pics sometimes don't show right.

I got a seat cover for the drivers seat last year from a place in texas thru ebay. They were a perfect match and fit. The upolstery guys that did the repair localy for me were impressed they said they could not repair the seat for the price I paid for the whole leather seat cover. Replaced the heated seat elements at the same time and added heated seats to second and third row too. I can dig up the place if you need.
