Ford brews colors to suit your fancy

About a hundred years ago, Henry Ford declared that his Model T customers could have the vehicle in any color "so long as it's black."

But today, Ford Motor Co. engineers and designers are mixing a paint revolution in the secret confines of the company's Dearborn product development labs, according to the Detroit Free Press.

By 2009, 45% of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars and trucks will feature new, often trendsetting paint colors -- a color changeover that will be the biggest in the company's 104-year history.
