A51 messing with my brain...and eyes!

[theguda]

My A51 Badlands is a 12/13 week build. Now that Broncos are hitting the street and dealer lots...I have been able to see a few A51's in person. For some reason...when I see the color in person it looks A LOT darker than all the pictures I have seen online. Has anyone else experienced this? The pics on here look awesome....kinda like a easter egg candy blue (if that makes sense). But when i see it in person...it has a lot more dark blue to it. Am I crazy?? LOL!!!

I have had mine for a couple weeks now. And it totally depends on the lighting. Bright sun it looks light blue. Sometimes a little darker/greyer. Love it, get compliments on the unique color everyday.

You ain't crazy.

Yep.

I think Ford tweaked the color because the overland concept I saw in person seems lighter. I'm not complaining at all and like A51 more when it appears darker.

I drove an AM Blue at at the Off Rodeo and I initially thought it was black. It never seemed light to me tough definitely a dark blue at times. The light blue I see is velocity blue and that was on my short list of colors when Rapid Red was eliminated and I had to pick something different.

What Mr. Prime says. I have a Bronco Sport A51, awesome shiny in the sunlight, darker flat color under the clouds or when the sun starts to set. I think it's great. Though I did order my Bronco in Eruption Green.

Darker is definitely better in my opinion. @Ford Motor Company

That's it. The wife wanted to see the color, so we drove to a dealer to look at an Area 51 baby. In the sun it's amost a powder blue, and without sun it darkens down. She loved it, so I'm sure you can guess what color our Bronco will be (if it ever gets built).

My initial color choice was Area 51, but I didn’t like it when I actually saw it on a bronco sport. I’d switched to cactus grey and am now a MY 22 Eruption Green convert.

I loved the pictures but swapped colors as soon as I saw it in person.

Almost all pictures online of ALL colors are brighter/lighter than in person due to lighting and exposure settings.

Other than Oxford white, I wouldn't trust any picture of Ford paint to be accurate.

When I saw it on the sport last year it looked primer grey and I ran from the color. If they changed it I’m happy for y’all but also jealous I missed out.

The color shifts depending on the light. It's amazing; I love mine.

FWIW I saw it on a Bronco Sport before mine was built and wasn't a huge fan so was starting to regret my choice. I needn't have worried. It's great.

I like this color but in certain light it reminds me of a Brute trash can. There was a Jeep color like that a few years back also, I couldn't pick it because of that.
