For anyone who hasn't seen Velocity blue in person here is a comparison. It is a very light color. Close to Viper GTS blue, but doesn't have as many "flakes" in the paint as viper blue. To show how light velocity blue is, here is my 2018 Raptor in lighting blue which is a very dark blue, and then my 2020 Raptor which is Velocity Blue. Big difference in brightness.

thanks for posting. As a connoisseur of blue Fords, how do you think VB will pair with the MIC grey top?

I think it should work great, look at the fender flares of my Raptor. Those are grey from the factory. Kind of a satin grey look, not too glossy. Colors match well I think!

I almost think that the VB will look better with the Carbonized Gray accents. Or at least a matte grayish black accents.

It's easier when you compare Lightning and Velocity side-by-side as these pics do.

Lightning Blue is the "blurple" one with what used to take yellow primer but is now done within the paint color. Velocity blue takes out the purple hue. Unfortunately neither of these colors have a great metal flake to them, so they look good in the sun, but they don't "pop" like they could with a couple extra bucks worth of material thrown in.

For comparison, this is "electric blue" that Mitsubishi used on the Evolution from 2006-2009. Loved having this car and it's actually a true blue paint, with the metallic flake providing the purple hue, giving it a lot of depth and character that Ford isn't going after with their current generation of paints...

I don't think Velocity Blue is a metallic paint. But my plan is the VB (even if I have to wait) and a white top regardless if Ford offers one from the factory. Debating on white rims (probably will stick with black) and any additional white graphics.
I will get the top painted white as well if it is not offered. I might even get the bronco horse insignia on the back painted at the same time to match the white top.

Gonna have to make some sort of plug for that bottle opener hole or maybe that will be one of the 200 accessories Ford's going to have ?

Why is Ford so obsessed with boring Grey for everything?

Because it seems half of car buyers today are obsessed with some form of gray. Go check out a parking lot anywhere. Black, white, gray. Not much else.
