Paint help

What interior color would be the easiest to maintain and match well with a baby/powder blue ford? I was thinking a classic creme color (like on earlier 2 tone trucks), or a similar blue.

I have a light tan leather interior in my expedition and it gets filthy.Then again I`m a filthy guy. Baby blue is tough.When I think of baby blue I think white interior.

Ford had a two tone blue paint job in 76-77 that was the nicest 2 tone blue they ever had, a baby blue with a midnight blue met that I think looked just great on these old trucks. tpcglobal.com , auto colour library has all the old colours like the old type paint books, I used thier site to find the right chestnut for my 78.

Was it something like this? I have a blue interior, with custom carpet straight out of a hotel remodel. Better not use a black light to check for stains right? I am planning on updating the stock blue interior or going with a grey interior.

The light blue looks right but the dark blue is a little lighter than the colour I was thinking of, although what you have does look good . Nice lookin truck too. . If you get the paint codes from your truck and match it againt the ones from the website I mentioned , it might be the same two colours I'm reffering to.
