The Great Plains?! Who the hell calls Colorado the Great Plains I’ve lived here 35 years, never seen or heard anyone call it that.

Yep, the the way we roll up here. LolThe FIRST thought I had upon seeing this thread was "I wonder how long it will take before someone from Seattle starts complaining about not getting any special Cascadia recognition"
and you answered! Two posts.

I live in AZ and can assure you that you won't stand out here by owning a black vehicle. Air conditioning was invented for places like this.If you want to stand out in a crowd order Shadow black and live in the southwest.
I like this breakdown makes it interesting to see where you will see your twin Bronco.
What was the total sample size?I was curious about how color choices might vary by region. So, I took the order data from the submitted orders list, classified each location by a general region, and ran a pivot table by region and then by color. (One could also run it by trim and by any of the other data in the order spreadsheet, but I focused on color here). I wanted to see what colors I will be seeing on the road more locally. I had suspected that certain colors would be more popular in certain areas. The "darks" seem to be more favored in the northern states. I did my best to incorporate data from our Canadian friends here as well and included them in the general classifications.

I have attached the Excel data and associated pivot table here for those who are familiar with how to use them. I made a new Region column to the data and also differentiated by Country if our Neighbors to the North would like to see their own results. You can filter/add your own state in there as well. Here is Michigan:
Michigan Count Percentage Antimatter Blue 11 12.84%Area 51 18 18.92%Cactus Gray 17 18.23%Carbonized Gray 1 0.35%Cyber Orange 10 11.74%Iconic Silver 4 6.23%Oxford White 13 12.18%Race Red 4 5.25%Rapid Red 1 1.24%Shadow Black 6 8.06%Velocity Blue 6 4.98%
Michigan has a higher AMB percentage than the national average. While these might not be "statistically significant" sample sizes just yet when sliced this thinly, it is getting very close, if it isn't there already - we have a good sample size from all of this data. I haven't run a regression analysis or looked at variances, confidence intervals, etc. quite yet to test it all out, so take it for what it's worth.
Play with the attached file - it is fun to move the pivot table around to see all of the different "cuts" and "combos" to see how many Squatched 4-door AMB Badlands MIC 2.7s are going to be running around Michigan! Interesting tidbit - the only region that did not have Area 51 as the top color choice was the Great Plains with Cactus Gray. The second tab of the data is the Regional classification. I put the Canadian orders into the most appropriate Regional slot and did my best with the other assignments. Sorry if there are any incorrect alignments or oversights.
Everyone knows Kentucky is in the Whiskey region.I was interested to see what region kentucky was in because it’s always a surprise. Not south, not north, not Midwest. You never know where it will end up.
It also doesn't show you how color chioces vary by region. It shows which region eachncolor is most popular in. To present what OP said was being presented, each region would be shown along with the most popular color for that region.What was the total sample size?
Is the count column the total number of individual reservations?
Not trying to offend, but If so, this doesn’t seem in anyway reliable or representative of reality
That data is all in the attached spreadsheet - third tab. Color preference by region and total sample size for all registered orders on the forum as of Feb. 22nd.It also doesn't show you how color chioces vary by region. It shows which region eachncolor is most popular in. To present what OP said was being presented, each region would be shown along with the most popular color for that region.
I just want to comment and say thanks for doing this.I was curious about how color choices might vary by region.

But the best brisket you'll ever have for sure.I had a teacher in junior high that insisted that Ohio was 'the midwest', and that wyoming was 'the west.
OHIO.
halfway between the mississippi and the atlantic. = "mid-west"
The "west" is everything west of the mississippi that has mountains in it. everything from North Dakota to Texas is not allowed to call itself that.
Also, Texas has the worst mexican food ever. yeah, I said it. Fight me broooooooo
and I ordered my Big Bend in White.
Lightning Blue is only available on the FE. Otherwise, I would have gone with that for my Badlands.I’m shocked to see such a small percentage of Lightning Blue, compared to the rest.
Least Popular:
Iconic Silver
Lightning Blue
Race Red
Rapid Red
Shadow Black (que!?)
Cyber Orange (mine!)
Antimatter Blue
outside of Velocity Blue, the remaining colors are basicallyboring AFvariants of Gray... which makes Iconic Silver very surprising that it’s the least popular
Thanks for clearing that up!Lightning Blue is only available on the FE. Otherwise, I would have gone with that for my Badlands.
@Judge Rufus @Bronco Finder Maybe the Northwest is liberated and not bound by mere color categorizations? Yeah? "Come on! I'm trying my best here!"Knowing trouthunter left northwest, southwest off of this chart indicates he’s never been out side of Michigan
Now you should account for each regions population, so this is on a per capita basis, might make a difference since the Midwest covers such a huge area. Might allow the data to show color hotspots a bit more accurately.The first chart there is what region was tops for each color. Not all regions will necessarily show up. If you go into the detail, you can see each and every Region is represented.
