Another common paint color promotional name is Whisper White. The color formulation has been used between 2001 and 2003, primarily by Ford; but also by Lincoln.

The short make/year code for this paint on a 98132 in 2001, is W5. The code W5 is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "W5 2001 Ford". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M7018 or M7018A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
