CG is definitely greenish.

The first photo is a pretty good representation of what I saw.

In full sun it looks close to the second photo though but less green.

You need to see it in person to really understand CG though.

Interesting...I have different opinions about these colors on the Bronco vs. Bronco Sport. I like A51 on the Bronco but not the sport. And I like CG on the Sport but not the Bronco. Not sure why.
dude i totally agree!

Cactus Gray is a color that you need to see in person with your own eyes. To me it is one of those colors that just doesn't photograph well. It is very dependent on the way the light is hitting it.

CG I feel is a case of is the dress blue or gold? Everyone sees it a little different and everyone's camera exposure setting are a little different.

that VB is sweeeeeet
Yes, for various reasons I decided to upgrade from Base to Big Bend. As a bonus I got access to A51,. Now I see it next to VB and it has me wanting that, takes away one reason to upgrade.

Can anyone confirm if that Explorer in the background is Velocity Blue?
The explorer doesn't come available with Velocity Blue, the one presented in the photos is called "Atlas Blue". Whether or not Ford is calling the same paint two different names, I am unsure haha.

Finally got to see both in person today and it helped eliminate A51 for me. It's fine but not my first choice.

Cactus was interesting though. It certainly looked a greenish toy eye but not so much in the pictures I took. Looks more grey in them.so I won't bother posting them.

Saw a mustang with VB and it looked awesome. Love the color.

Saw lighting, rapid and all the other colors other than cyber. None of them do anything for me at all.

Nothing really wrong with them they just didn't grab my attention.

I've been on the VB bandwagon since the moment if was offered but cactus has me interested.

Need to think it over.

The wife and I got out yesterday to see some of the colors in person before we proceed with completing an order of a BL. It will be her daily driver. We were originally set on the Cactus Grey (based on the over processed press photos), but like others have said, it's one of those colors you need to see in person because it just doesn't photograph well. It definitely has some green tint, but not what we were hoping for. A51 was 2nd on our list, but it didn't impress us as much as we had hoped. We also saw Race/Rapid Red & Velocity Blue (Rangers) & Carbonized Grey. For us it's down to Race Red or Velocity Blue, but I know she'll pick Race Red since she loved her Flame Red JKU. Velocity Blue would be my choice, if it were my DD.
