From an 87 Sales Brochure the closest thing I see is "Silver Blue Clearcoat Metallic" but it doesn't list the paint code and the 88 Spec manual doesn't list that color

Pete is right, the 87 color name is Silver Blue Clearcoat Metallic & the 88 is LIght Regatta Blue Clearcoat Metallic, according to the sale brochures. Both colors look totally different. I just looked in the 88 Ford Parts catalog I just got & here are the US Paint Colors & Codes :

Year 85 - Light Regatta Blue - 7A
Year 88 - Brt. Regatta Blue Metallic - A7
Year 88 - Light Regatta Blue Metallic - 31

To confuse matters even more, the Mitchall Collision sheets lists this :
Year 87 - Light Regatta Blue Metallic - 33

I would try to look at some paint chip samples for the 87 & 88 Model year from your local paint supplier to verify the correct code.

I found the PPG paint chip link to find a sample of paint chips by model & year - http://autocolorlibrary.com/acl_files/ford.html

If you need to be exact, the Paint Code is on the metal tag attached to the radiator support, should be the third line down.
88 T/C 5speed. 3in.Downpipe,Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers, Gillis valve on the way.

Having difficulty getting a reply to send. I have a 1987 TC, light blue metallic and the paint code is "33". My Martin Seynor paint chip book calls this a "Lt. Regatta Blue" and not offered in 1988. My 1985 TC paint code is "35" and a similar color but not included in my book.
