Help me decide... Eruption Green vs Velocity Blue

[Bill K]

Placing a 2024 Badlands order this week. Definitely a first world problem, but I am torn between Eruption Green and Velocity Blue. They both look awesome and pair well with the Badlands orange interior stitching/badges.

I currently own a blue Forester and a Lunar Rock Tacoma. Lunar Rock/Cactus Gray is wearing on me but it hides dust and dirt well.

If you own one of these colors, what do you love or hate the most about them? Are they a pain to clean? etc..

Help convince me which color to go with, pictures would be great!

I really like the blue, no WAIT, green! Not too bad to keep clean, and once I saw that Ford offered it, was all in.

I have the same color dilemma and this thread isn't helping lol. Just confirming my struggle.

VB - happier go to the beach in the sun color.
EG - more low key but some pleasant surprises in the sun.

I have a thing for green and deciding if I want to match my Lotus or go different.

Likin the Lotus!

I have EG and love it. People comment positively about the color all the time and since I spend all of my off-road time in forested areas (vs the beach or rocky areas) it looks really good in those locales.

As others have stated, the EG shows dirt very poorly. But any dark colored vehicle will show dirt also. VB isn’t white, but isn’t a dark color either so will probably show dirt a little less vs EG.

Here are some picks of the Jolly Green Giant when clean and dirty, and when in its happy place (the forest)

Gotta go green! Can name it Kermit, can tell folks you’re going green too, make folks green with envy.

Everyone has a opinion but all that matters is what your gut told you before you asked this highly controversial question on this forum, please don’t ask the 2 or 4 door question to follow it up.

I went Eruption Green both for he fact I'm not a huge fan of blue (except for Miami Blue, but thats another story) AND the fact my mom has a blue Bronco Sport

No doubts on a 2 door for me

Looks pretty good with dirt too!

Do it. looks so much better in my opinion. Also easier to clean.
