[Jwawhite]

Having an issue with different sorces about confirming the
above paint code.

A Raven Black
K either Red or Brown
S. I don't know.

On two tone paint, how does one know which color where on car?

When there are multiple color code letters the 1st letter is the predominant exterior color, then the secondary.

From the link below: A = Raven Black, K = Fiesta Red, and S was used to note "Styletone", stainless trim separating the colors on the Fairlane models.
See the "Color Code" description on PDF page 10 (document pg 18) at this link...

Hi dmsfrr!

I must have an incorrect source for color.

It lists K as a brown

That's a continuation of the 1955 page.

There are 2 different sets of page numbers, the page numbers of the PDF window and misc numbers that aren't printed on all the document pages.... I'm using the 'PDF window' numbers.

Scroll down to page 6 of 11, the '56 Passenger Car page, the Two-Tone Colors section.
