2016 Ford F-150
13 factory colors were offered on the 13th generation F-150. Your code is on the driver's door jamb sticker on the line marked C/TR — the characters before the slash.
This is the earliest model year currently in our database for the F-150, so there is no prior year to compare against.
Verified against 4 independent sources: 2016 Ford F-150 retail brochure, EXTERIORS page — lists exactly 13 exterior colors with a trim availability grid; 2016 Ford Motor Company Color Compatibility chart (Ford-authored, distributed by Sherwin-Williams) — 14 code rows for F150; 2016 F-150 dealer Color & Trim album; PaintRef 2016 Ford F150 chip cross-reference — same 14 codes.
Thirteen distinct colors across fourteen codes — Oxford White carries both YZ and Z1. For 2016 Lithium Gray replaced Guard Metallic and Shadow Black replaced Tuxedo Black, so listings showing HN Guard or UH Tuxedo Black on a 2016 F-150 are wrong. No fleet-only exterior colors were found in any Ford source for this year.
Where to find your paint code
Driver's door jamb, on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, in the box marked EXT PNT.
Driver's door jamb
- Open the driver's door and find the barcode label on the door or the door jamb.
- Look along the lower row of small boxes for the one headed EXT PNT.
- The two characters printed under it are the exterior paint code.
- The box marked INT TR is the interior trim code, not paint.
If the sticker is missing or faded
- Any Ford dealer parts desk can read the code from your VIN off the build record.
- On older trucks the label may be on the driver's door edge rather than the jamb.
