Default 1973 ford tc cortina what colours did it come out in?

Hey all,

Just curious as to what colours the TC Ford Cortina came out in? Or more to the point, did it come out it a pink/mulberry colour?

Can anyone provide a paint code list for it?

Cheers,
Nathan.

TC Cortinas were available in Wild Plum and TD were available in Mulberry metallic.
Pretty much the same common colours as the XA/XB series.
Have a look though this;

my old tc was wild violet,good colour with the silver accent stripes along the tops of front guards and doors.
Only trouble with the factory paint was it peeled of all the time especially in the sun,you could stand there and watch it peel.
