Okay, according to paintref.com, Royal Maroon was the only maroon Ford made in the 64-65 period. It was originally a Lincoln color. So, if Ford controlled the type of paint used, its Royal Maroon. If Shelby or AC controlled the choice of paint, it could have been Royal Maroon or it could have been Jaguar's Imperial Maroon. When I find out who controlled the choice, that will pick the paint. One or the other. Or, not, if something or somebody comes up with the right color and its not one of those.

Sorry for all this discussion about what maroon paint to use, but once I realized that my car had to be painted the same color as the one I saw and dreamt about for so many years, I became fixated on having the "right" color.
