Hi !
I want to know wich color suppose to be on my roof , interior of the car ! 68 fastback from dearborn april 16th ?!
-
What color code is your car?
What piece - headliner or the rear (wide) steel trim panel that connects the sail/vent panels on both sides?
Or is the question related to the steel roof/unibody in that area that gets covered by the headliner?

The steel roof ! My car color is sunlit gold 'Y' !

As a unibody the interior panels would have receive a coat of red oxide color primer sealer. Over that you might find some overspray from the grey surfacer/primer but that would be limited normally to the lower panels near opening. Overspray is effected by gravity
The the door jamb, trunk and exterior color was applied which would produce a little or allot over spray - much more on panels and surfaces near openings were the painter would have sprayed the edge (part of the paint going on the edge the rest into the interior) and those panels directly behind. Plus the paint "fog" would have drifted downward onto the lower panels
Since the inside surface of the roof is inverted and faces downward much less overspray got to its surface. So (as a estimate) it might show 90% red oxide when viewed
Here is a partial shot of the finish under the headliner and padding - in this case a coupe but both body styles would have been treated the same way.
Do have one example of a June 68 Dearborn fastback where the painter took a little extra time and sprayed the bottom of the roof panel with the grey primer sealer over the red oxide but IMHO not typical so not including that one off example ;)

Appears to depend on when the car was built. With pads no extra effort was taken to paint that area so mostly body color
For cars without the pads the a pillars were painted to match dash metal

You can go through and compare cars built around the same time but believe that the mounting holes would be a better confirmation unless the roof or a pillars have been replaced on your car
San Jose example but you get the idea

There is a painted metal strip about 3/8 of a inch wide that covers the edge of the headliner.
