Monochromatic Colors...Stand Apart From The Crowd

[Brokennose]

No soy in this man's Bronco please.

I was all set for AMB but really need to see some real life examples outdoors. The purple pic from the factory isn't doing it for me.

I actually went on a rant about this to my friend recently. The problem is multi-factor. Boring colors are offered because they are what sells... because they are what dealerships order. I sold for Nissan for a few years and my manager refused to order yellow on the Xterra because “no one buys yellow.” We would get one Pro4X in whatever the bright color was and it would be loaded out to the max and sit on the lot for a while. People would pass on it because it was way more than what they wanted. In the course of 3 months I lost 10-15 sales because people wanted bright colors, they walked next door to Jeep and bought a Wrangler in yellow, green, orange, or whatever options they had. People would buy bright colors if dealers would order them and then manufactures might make more color options. This is one reason why the only color option I have even considered is Cyber Orange (also because Cyber Orange is best color!)

Damn. I loved the Yellow Xterra.

I have to say I respectfully disagree. i’m not a fan of colored cars at all other than dark green. black, white, and leadfoot type of greys are all that I like..... maybe desert tan too. AMB is very nice. blue and red are eye sores to me.

I was pretty deadset on iconic silver after a close race between velocity blue but my mind has been changed. A few members mentioned they feel like their red, blue, (insert color) car stands out in a sea of monochromatic colors and now that's all I see. I can't unsee it, colored cars are like the main character in a movie.

I took the red pill like Keanu, no going back now, being a baseSquatch model buyer Velocity Blue it is. I suppose I am also doing my part helping push for more colors too.

The World Loves Boring Car Colors

I'm kind of in the opposite boat. The last few cars I've owned have been bright, loud colors and I honestly just love colors like Iconic Silver and Carbonized Gray but have avoided them as too boring. It might be time for a "boring" color.

...but if they offered Cyber Orange on the base I'd probably be all over that.

I think it depends on the car. All white looks classy on some cars and bland on others. Same with black.

I had a Grey with black stripes on my Shelby. Amazing looking combo. Bright red looks fantastic on a Ferrari and cheap on a Jaguar.

My GTR is black with orange calipers & brushed black forged wheels. I think it looks sinister and classy at the same time. Paint it neon green and It would look like a Lamborghini wannabe.

I think the Bronco can wear many different colors well. If I am in a southern beach area, cyber orange, velocity blue fit in well. Up north, some of the other colors seem to fit in with environment better.

In the end as others have said already, buy what you want. You are the one writing the check.

No. Lightning Blue is limited to FE. Not velocity blue.

My Shelby is Velocity Blue which is more of a pearl than Lightning Blue. Both are stunning colors.

I'm with you. I really like what we saw from A51 recently. Hoping to see a 2DR in VB that's not just a render. a Basesquatch would be ideal but I'll take what I can get.

i agree with "boring". It wins the day for me frankly. Dont need or want to impress anybody. Dont need unnecessary attention. I want to blend in, get in and out of places. Be overlooked. Boring is safe.

Gray man tactics. Reality these days.

I’ve always liked a car that stands out... bright and flashy...
I have always thought a white vehicle was boring as hell.. but I think the bronco looks sexy as hell in ox white with black accents...
It’s my 2nd choice as of today..

Nah they are on to you man, now they all think colorful cars are owned by poor people trying to get noticed.

I am half color blind. So after sorting through all the options I may be picking green. The base 2 door in black and wrap it in green vinyl. Unless the B&P offers a green paint.

I’d take a Grabber Blue Bronco in a heartbeat.

Sometimes boring and staying under the radar is a good thing. It's too easy to draw negative attention these days.

I also chose Anti matter Blue as my first choice; I like dark colors, and this one seems to do that and other things.

The pic from the post of all the body and frame pics outside the factory, that made my mind up.
... hopefully that pic of the purple Big Bend was just the camera playing tricks cause I don't want a Barney mobile ?.


Though I did show someone that pic of that Big Bend and they said, "oh that's purple".

... ... ...Then I promptly slapped'em in the face and told them to "STF UP!!!", "it's BLUE!!!!!".

I'm kidding, that would be mean ?.


My first choice was Carbonized grey, then Iconic silver (got that stainless steel look in some pics).

Last, I'd probably go Shadow black.

Though Carbonized grey from the colorizer and I think some renders made it look like it had a touch of olive green to me; but I've seen some photos that assured me that it looked better than that .

Right, those outdoor frame shots really sold me too. AMB is my top choice. After that its a toss up between Iconic Silver, Area 51, and Carbonized Grey.

Soo I guess all my back up choices are the monochromatic choices....
