It is actually spelled and pronounced "Sultana" not Sultan White. The Continental averaged approximately 20 paint colors during that era, some of them shared with the Ford Thunderbird. (For comparison, the Lucid Air only has six paint choices.)
The relatively minor changes to the 1962 (and 1963) model were considered a risky marketing move for American automakers at that time. Buying a new car is a statement and buyers then expected their new car to look different than the previous model year. However, the Lincoln Division had lost so much money up through 1960 that only minimal changes were budgeted through 1963. No doubt sales of the 1961 to 1963 models would have been stronger expect for the poor resale value of the unloved 1958 to 1960 models… meaning customers waited longer until it was time to trade-in. Plus, Cadillac buyers didn't like coach doors… and there were neither lower spec Lincolns (like a Cadillac Series 62) nor a Lincoln coupe. In the end, the 1961 to 1963 models made a profit which saved the Lincoln Division.
