CACTUS GRAY THREAD!!!! if you’re choosing cactus gray lemme know. I think it’s the best color available at the moment.

silver isn't bad but would probably be a lower pick for me. Is carbonized gray too dark for you?

Truth be told, I probably won't know for sure until I walk around the car lot with a dozen or so Bronco's on the lot giving me a "real life" perspective.
The only thing I know for sure is that I want aluminum wheels and leather on the steering wheel.

Seeing the sport makes me think I’m going with painted black top. The two colors look so nice together. Worry the MIC top will not look as nice

So the trim badge really is just going to be a little sticker? What a shame.....

• Cactus gray is Green-gray
• Area 51 is Blue-gray ( Payne’s gray/grey)

I wish the colors actually looked that way.

Maybe? It's feasible that they will have badges which haven't been manufactured yet.

Ford rep stopped by Crown Ford in Lynbrook, NY (Long Island) to show off Bronco Sport in CG. He confirmed this is the same CG that will be on the Bronco ?.
Color is amazing and now my top choice over Area 51 on the Big Bend or OBX.
I tried my best to get pics from diff angles to show the color. Def has grey and green tint.

Not what i was hoping for. Looks almost white in these photos.

Hope it's got some green in it...super light in some pix, better in others....have to wait until Nov from the sounds of it to see it live.

Crap, I meant to run my hand over it to see, just got too distracted checking other stuff out.

I wish CG was a little more like this...

I'm also starting to sour on Cactus Gray when it appears as a dull and drab light khaki color instead of the vibrant minty green (that many people the past 2 pages of this tread are happy is not there).

I very much prefer it having a lot of green as these pics have shown:

Only to have it turning out more of this drab boredom (which is fantastically popular right now, but will not age well at all). This is the color you see on threadbare khakis which have been washed a thousand times.

You can't do much with this color to make it "pop" or make a visual statement beyond "I'm an accountant".

(Full disclosure: I am an accountant and this is absolutely the color 99% of accountants would love)

This is now all that comes to mind when I think of Cactus Gray:

I'm leaning heavily towards Cactus Grey ... 2-door Outer Banks with Sasquatch, btw.

I tend to think of '60s colors in terms of Fenders too lol. I'd love a Surf Green or Daphne Blue Bronco. But Sonic Blue definitely works for me if that's what Cactus Gray looks like.

Coincidentally, Leo Fender's color palette was directly pulled from automotive paint ... for example, Cadillac Green.

Surf green with semi-gloss clear for the body of this Bullet Bird (don't mind the flaked roof, that's not to Bronco spec

Was soooooooooo hoping that Cactus Green would have some of this hue to it. From what we've seen, something more along this line would make it the only "heritage" type color they offer (black, white, red and silver being too common to qualify)

Not so fast my friend. Area 51 looks to be pretty darn close to Ford Marlin Blue of the 60s...

ehhhhhhhh, not so much IMHO. Area 51 is just an ultra-modern white-alternative fleet vehicle color. Marlin blue was a pleasing periwinkle.
