Yes same color. Both share the paint code of NE.
They may share the first two letters of a color code, but frankly, in reviewing pics of the two vehicles in various lighting, I do not believe they are the same final result. Either by a tinted clear or some other function, these two vehicles are not appearing the same IMHO.

You had to show me the video, now I want a Mach 1 Mustang to match my Bronco. Dang that's one sweet stang.
Pretty sure Cactus and Jet Fighter are the same color. I'm all in on the Cactus Gray after watching Mach 1 video, thanks for the share.
They are a limited number also,,,,like your FE

I was thinking I’d have to have the white top. But now I’m really leaning towards the body colored top for my 2 door badlands.

Planning to do a retro white stripe on it for a bit of personality.

If you are putting on a vinyl stripe just know that over time the sun will permantley cook the stripe into the paint so if you go to remove the stripe you will still have a stripe image cooler into the paint.

Toyota announced 2021 TRD Pro models will feature a new paint color - "Lunar Rock". A little copy catting going on? (https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33233678/2021-toyota-4runner-trd-pro-new-color-wheels-revealed/)

The Rav4 a couple of pages back (with the white roof) is also Lunar Rock. My wife's Rav4 is the same exact color combo. I've been meaning to post some pictures here because I'm assuming Lunar Rock is very close to Cactus Gray. Though I think CG is probably a little bit lighter color.
Wife's Lunar Rock Toyota is a 2019, so if there's any copy catting going on, it wasn't Toyota.

Did a little digging, here are all the paints that Ford has used throughout the years that use the code "NE", note that I will also link the 2020 and 2021 color code chart for Ford, the 2021 chart is very small at this point as a color must make it through ordering and be cataloged as final so body shops can make the color. If it isn't listed (such as Jet Fighter Grey) that just means that the code hasn't gone through this process, not that the color wont be made.

All Paints Ford has used with color code "NE"


2021 model year color chart for Ford (as of 8/6/20)

2020 model year Ford color chart (complete as of this posting)


**Update**

Found out that the name "Cactus Grey" was also used for a color by Pontiac in 1934, and that is the only other recorded use of that paint name by a auto manufacturer.

Lol
It looks more green in that pic. Other Cactus Grays look to have more of a bluish tint.

it’s just me lol
Real world pics show a hint of green.
