1970 Mach 1 tape stripe color question

[r1cardo]

Hi fellow 'stangers,
Got a question for a 1970 mach 1 I am restoring. Found the build sheet. Color code is "C" so that would be Dark Ivy Green Metallic right? Now what would Tape stripe "A" stand for? What color would that be?
Any ideas?
thanks,
Ricardo

I would probobly go with black stripes unless you like the red with gold.

Thanks guys,
Black would be the way to go. While red and gold may be slightly tolerable, Pink and Purple may be a little too much.
