The following table shows the interior colors available for the 1980 - 1986 Ford trucks, and this was gleaned from the info on the Ford Color Names tab.  In addition, the table shows what I believe is the correct SEM Color Coat paint to match the original color, and that was gleaned from the info on the SEM Colors tab.

​But, note that these are not off-the-shelf paints.  You will have to have them mixed by a SEM dealer as the pre-canned paints available at the parts stores are not the correct match for our trucks.  How do I know that?  Here's what I got from a SEM technical consultant via email:
"We manufacture only 50 aerosol colors in COLOR COAT for plastic, vinyl, carpet and velour and would be happy to send you a card since the online versions are too inaccurate to use as a color match. We also have over 6000 formulas created to match all GM, Ford, and Chrysler interior colors from 1976 to present as well as many other colors from some foreign manufacturers that customers have sent in for us to match over the years. "
So, putting that together with the fact that the off-the-shelf paints have 5-digits codes and the formulas that SEM shows in their exact-match tables, included below, have 4-digit codes, it is pretty easy to see that there must be some differences and that the off-the-shelf paints will not be an exact match for our trucks.

The following snippets are from Ford's 1980 - 89 Master Parts Catalog and show what colors were available for the F-Series trucks during the Bullnose years.  And, by the way, the Bronco colors were the same.
