If you want to confirm it it is on the plastic compliance decal
(just above the hinge on the DS F door)

Blueprint was starting to show its age, it was after all a AU colour
4 years is a long time for a colour to stay current, the only colours that last that long normally are the whites (Falcons have had only 3 since the 80's)
Stark (Z or 9)
Dynamic (H)
Winter (A1)

since we're talking about paint colours...

i have an "aquarius" fiesta, but from all accounts, its the same colour as the falcon blueprint.

now my car is imported from germany, would it be painted here? or would ford germany also have blueprint as part of their colour range?

I've seen two on show room floors over here in WA... a XR6T sedan and a XR8 Ute with the hard cover.
Both had sold stickers on them and I must say it's a great colour in full light.

Am I the only one here who doesn't like Velocity?

Reminds me of the Holden colour which looks exactly the same to me...

I remember when Blueprint first came out, and was told by a dealer that it was off one of the smaller cars, and customer demand had ford paint Falcons in it.

I would take Velocity over Menace. Menace should be renamed to hideous. I'll be glad to see the back of that one

Menace… hmmm. : : : : :
Someone at Ford needs to be sacked and then taken out the back and bashed for coming up with that vile colour. I’m with you bucky, can’t wait to see the end of it.
