Hi Friends,
I am restoring a '81 Ghia Hatchback in India. The original color of the car was a medium grey blue kind of color which might have been medium pewter.
I seek help in choosing the correct color and want to ask if Ghia cars had different color like Cobra or they could be bought in all '81 colors?
Please advice.

Thanks for the paint codes and chips.
Were all these colors available with Ghia cars?
I understand the Ghia production was in small numbers, could one order them in any of these colors or there were specific colors for Ghia option cars?

Yes, I did see all the details and made me sure that Ghia production may not be available in all colors due to small production run .
This one is the only Ghia hatch in the country and I want to retain the originality up to the hilt.
As cobra option is seen in bright bittersweet , I believe Ghia may have had a few selected color combinations. The ad displays two combo.
Were more color combinations available for Ghia or these are the only two that one could buy from?
Regards,

Thanks for this valuable link but my query is remains unanswered, ghia optioned cars could only be bought in specific colors or in any and every mustang color?

The interior color on the cabin shell is a light green - gray. Will someone know the correct name for it?
Please advice.
