To find the color code for a *specific* 1998 Ford Contour, you need to look at one of these sources:
* The vehicle's paint code sticker: This is usually located on the driver's side door jamb, under the hood, or on the vehicle's identification plate. The sticker will have a code (often a three- or four-digit alphanumeric code) that identifies the paint color.
* The owner's manual: Sometimes, the owner's manual may list available colors and their corresponding codes.
* A Ford dealer: Providing your vehicle identification number (VIN) to a Ford dealership should allow them to access the original paint code from their system. This is often the most reliable method.
* Online paint code databases (use with caution): There are some websites claiming to have Ford paint codes. However, accuracy isn't guaranteed; use these sources only as a last resort and always verify the information with a dealership or the vehicle itself.
Without the specific vehicle's information (VIN or paint code sticker), it's impossible to determine the exact color code.
