Smile Splash color/yea info needed

Actually what I'm lookin for is the color code or name for the orange Ranger Splash trucks.
Which years were Splash's produced?
The splash is the only ford vehicle I can remember that was orange, (during the 90's). Was it a Splash exclusive or was I just not paying attention?
Anybody got any pics of orange Splash's?

I do know that you can go to paint manufactures websites and look up paint names by make, model, and model year and there will be a sample of the color there. I do know this orange found it's way to other Rangers in 94. I saw one and only one on the new car lots that I was shopping that year, and it sat there for a long time. When I asked the salesman about it (no, I didn't want it since it was a stripper/baseline) he said that it was a special order, that they won't stock that color, and that a customer backed out of a deal.

Ford only made the splash option for a sales experiment, and obviously it didn't do well.

Had a buddy that had an '87 rangr that was orange. It's just not a common color. I like blue, but was tired of the bright island clearcoat on my '01, then I found my current truck; Sonic Blue they call it. Now I see Sonic Blue in my sleep.

Haha, Ain't that the truth!
But that's exactly why I want it!
Not to mention my truck is/was already orange.

CowboyBilly9Mile,
I never thought of that. I'll have to check that out too. Any idea who supplies, (supplied), paint for ford during the "Splash years"?

Maybe PPG but more than likely Ford, like any wise manufacturer, would have more than one vendor.
