This the best video I have ever seen which shows AMB color the way it looks in different lighting, take a look:After looking at what seems to be hundred of pictures and videos of the Bronco, the one thing I'm considering changing is the colour. Nothing else on my build - Badlands, Sasquatch, 4 door, 2.7L, etc.
Those of you who have physically seen an Antimatter Blue Bronco - What's your impression? I was initially going for the Carbonized Grey, but it just doesn't look dark enough for me. But I don't want black necessarily. Does the AMB look almost black in darker lights? How did it look with the grey MIC top and fender flares?
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

I was just talking to a friend of mine saying "there's no perfect colour." You either get something that shows dirt quite a bit, swirls when you wash it, rock chips, or scratches, etc. I love black, but it never looks good long term without a lot of time and effort. I feel like the Carbonized Grey would be a "safer" colour in general, but the AMB looks awesome.While reading your post, I had to double check that I didn't write it myself! I'm in the same situation as you. I was not as torn until I went to an event at a local dealer that had the 4 door AMB in person. It looks great! My only dilemma will be keeping it clean and scratch free. I just feel it will show everything. If that's not an issue for you, I would go with AMB. But I'm thinking I'm gonna stick CG. Good luck!
Thanks for your thoughts. I actually took you up on that suggestion.Dude. I scouted an AMB superduty on thanksgiving eve 2020. Took me half a dozen phone calls to a handful of local dealer untill they took inventory. First ford AMB in the state (that had to be permantely relocated outside the dealer showroom after it went viral on 6G). Fast forward to today - There are plenty out there on the lots. Go see one in person. Don’t exercise a group of random people 9 mos after the color launch to form a collective opinion. You could readily see it in person. Unless you live in Alaska, I’m sure you could find one nearby
I currently own a black Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. I've also owned other dark colour/black vehicles; totally know what I'm getting into from that aspect.Saw AMB in person on an F250 at a dealership, on a rainy day...
And it's blue, even from a distance on a rainy day. My wife spotted before I did, and she goes, "That's a nice blue! What blue is that? And I looked over and I was like, That's Antimatter blue, that's what I am getting!"
The F250 doesn't do the color justice. It's a color that changes on the angles, like any other metallic, and what angles an F250 has are not great for showing off metallic paint of any kind. The F150 shows the color better, and I think the Bronco will show the color the best.
Don't expect AMB to look the same all of the time, either. This is why the photos all very, the color varies depending on angle and light. it will look dull and black sometimes, especially when dirty, and like any black/dark color, it will be dirty more often than not. But the same goes for anyone who owns a black car.
I've owned a dark blue 79 Bronco in the past, and multiple blue and black cars. For me, it's a no brainer. I know what to expect, and what I have seen in person didn't turn me away.
But if you wouldn't own a black car but want a blue, AMB may not be for you.
In my humble opinion, it's a few shades too dark. in the wrong/right light, depending on what you are looking for, it basically looks black.After looking at what seems to be hundred of pictures and videos of the Bronco, the one thing I'm considering changing is the colour.
