I'm having trouble with finding what color paint code the inside of my ranch wagon is. The outside is seamist blue and colonial white. But the dash and rear section is a darker blue. The trim code is X. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Try the 1957Ford.com site. It may be be in their interior specs section. Or join the site & post a question. The site tends to be slow but you may get a reply..

I had the same problem with a Bermuda Blue 56.The interior trim was a little darker than the exterior.I finally found the answer to the scarcity of that interior paint.Ford had to come up with a special batch of paint for a run of police cars for the Cheyenne Wyoming police dept.It was named Cheyenne Blue.A mistake in ordering or production left Ford with a huge oversupply of this paint,so they used it in the interior of some Bermuda Blue cars.It doesn't show up in any paint books,as far as I was able to determine.Maybe they still had some of it in 57.

Del Rio:

Take a sample part, like a window frame or the glove box door, to a paint supply store or a body shop that has a spectograph (I think that's the name) to match the color.  If the original has a slightly less glossy finish than the exterior, I think they can add a flattener to the paint also.
