I have also heard of a few cars possibly being painted Charcoal grey.

All stripes were added at the dealerships.

Often referred to as "slime green".

It is ranked right up there with the ever popular avacado green appliances.

White or blue stripes were your only choice's as far as I know.

My 67 GT350 (#2625) was lime green with white stripes.

Getting a different color car was a big part of selling it.

Went with white with blue stripes. Much easier on the eyes.

Later....

The 1967 Shelby Color Chart

 

The 1967 Shelby Mustang had the color of the exterior in the VIN number assigned to it at Shelby American. Seven numbers from the left was a numeral that indicated the color code. Just right of this numeral was a letter indicating the interior color. However, the first 89 cars did not have a color code indicated.

The interior options were A for black vinyl and U for the White or Parchment vinyl. Either interior color was available with any exterior color. For the September production only the first five colors were scheduled. Starting with car 0099 Red, Gray and Lime Gold were offered. Car 0288 was the beginning of Brittany Blue. Acapulco Blue was not offered until the final third of the production.

The R-M number was the brand of paint used on the Mustangs destined to be Shelby Mustangs at the San Jose Ford plant. Later model Shelby Mustangs were painted with Ditzler paints. The R-M stands for Rinished-Mason paints.

 

**Metallic Gray was not a Mustang color, it was Gray # 1900, a 1967 Thunderbird color. This is the only color that was unique to Shelby Mustangs. "Special Dark Metallic Gray" was also called Dark Gray Metallic and Medium Gray Metallic.

1967 Shelby Color Chart

 

Unlike any Mustang, the 1967 Shelby had its original exterior color noted in the Shelby American-assigned VIN. A numeral located seven positions from the left provided the color code. The letter to the right of the color code numeral indicated the color of the Deluxe interior: A indicated black and U indicated either Parchment or white. The first eighty-nine cars produced did not have the interior code in their VINs.

 

The first five colors were the only ones scheduled for September build by Report II of the 1967 Prototype Program. Red, gray, and Lime Gold began appearing after car 0099; Brittany Blue started appearing with car 0288; and Acapulco Blue was not a scheduled color until the final third of production.

*R-M stands for Rinished-Mason, the brand of paint generally used on Shelbys made in the San Jose plant. Generally, later-model Shelbys were painted with Ditzler.

 

**Metallic Gray, termed "Special Dark Metallic Gray #1900 (1967 Thunderbird Only)" in the 1967 GT-350 Prototype Program Report II, also has been called Medium Gray Metallic and Dark Gray Metallic. It was the only 1967 Shelby color that was not a Mustang color for that model year.

What about bronze metallic (burnt amber)? I believe that 22 cars were painted this color.
