Cactus Green Looking Too Minty

[NewToBronco]

I've been seeing videos - like the TFL video, week 2 on this forum - with the what looks to be the cactus gray color and it looks more like a mint green. On the gas can samples at the Bronco events it is more of a putty color which is what I thought I was ordering. Has anyone seen a cactus gray IRL? Thoughts?

More gray, less green

CG is an odd color. It looks very different in person than in almost all pictures.

Daylight: Light Gray
Dusk/Artificial Light: Minty Green.

It's both.

Source: seen one in person.

its totally neutral - but picks up immediate environs

It absolutely looks flat gray in person. It the sun catches it just right you can see the mint, but it's mostly just gray.

In bright sunlight the green really comes out and does look a bit more “minty” but in lower light it’s very grey looking.

More gray, less green

Thank you. Starting to get nervous.

Thank you. Starting to get nervous.

I wasn't even considering CG at first then I saw it in person and I'm 100% in on it.

This is Cactus Gray in person. The iPhone did a great job of capturing what it really looks like, whereas professional video cameras make it look very minty.

Cactus gray has the ability to reflect greens and blues more than reds or yellows, so you’ll see it look many shades of green or slightly blue depending on the light levels or surrounding colors.

Also worth noting is one of the Ford employees (not dealership) that came with the Broncos mentioned a color refresh at some point with a little less green tint.

Thank you. Hope I don't regret my color choice.

THank you. This is what I thought I was buying.

Check to see if a local dealership has a Sport in CG.

If you're anywhere near a Ford dealer there's a good chance they have a Sport or Ranger in CG. I highly recommend going to see it in person.

Even for those that perceive a lot of green in cactus gray under various conditions, I don't think many have described it as "too minty", although some wish it was a bit mintier like the original CGI rendering

I saw it in a dark hallway under crappy lighting while it was raining outside.......just battleship gray, no mint all
