Anyone having second thoughts on chosen color?

[350vudu]

I currently have a black Braptor with graphics package chosen and even though I am in love with that combination, my eyes have strayed a bit to Code Orange with graphics. Even though I am scheduled for 2/27 build date and pretty much locked in, I am having second thoughts. Anyone else?

I wanted Cyber Orange on my Bronco, but went with Area 51 and I absolutely love it. I also had it wrapped in Hexis BodyFence Satin, and that really made me fall in love. No regrets on my color choice

I originally ordered white, but then changed to CO, and I'm very glad I did. I really like the CO.

Yup!! I have some reservations.

I originally wanted Anti-Matter Blue. Obviously that color only lasted for the 2021MY and I had to switch. The decision was between Cactus Gray, Eruption Green, and Area 51. Wife used her veto on Area 51... so it was between Cactus Gray and Eruption Green.

Ended up picking Cactus Gray, which I really like. But every time I see an Eruption Green on the road I second-guess my choice.

That said... I am very glad I didn't get Anti-Matter Blue. I've seen a few of those on the road, and unless it is bright sunny day and the vehicle is clean, Anti-Matter Blue looks effectively black with a slight purple/blue hue to it... almost like used motor oil. Definitely dodged a bullet with that color.

I wanted Race Red but then I came to my senses and decided on a color that would not show so much pin-striping and went with Cactus Grey

My first choice was Antimatter Blue Wild Trak. When that got eliminated I changed to Hot Pepper Red. Long story short while waiting for my Bronco I ordered my delaer called me with a Carbonized Gray Badlands. With no update in sight for my Wildtrak I pulled the trigger on the Badlands. In retrospect I am glad I got the Bronco I did in Carbonized Gray. When the boss (AKA my wife) saw Hot Pepper Red she said man am I glad you did not gert that color!

Was anti-matter blue ever a color option on the Braptor?

I ordered Carbonized Grey w/ MIC Hartop and began second guessing it almosy imediatly. I wanted more contrast but was not going to mess w/ my order. fast forward 11 months I take delivery and couldn't be happier.
thought for sure I'd add some Badlands Orange accents but I'm good w/ it exactly as it arrived.
I'm sure when I get bored I'll do something

Nope, both Anti-Matter Blue and Lightning Blue were 2021 model year exclusives—the latter was only available on the First Edition.

Edit— All of the exclusive/discontinued colors so far:

• Lightning Blue - 2021 First Edition exclusive
• Anti-Matter Blue - 2021 model year only
• Rapid Red - 2021 model year only
• Desert Tan - 2022 Everglades exclusive
• Code Orange - 2022+ Raptor exclusive
• Robin's Egg Blue - 2023 Heritage/Heritage Limited exclusive
• Yellowstone Metallic - 2023-2024 Heritage/Heritage Limited exclusive (expected)

I wasn't until I saw a Hot Pepper in person this weekend, lol.

Hot Pepper Red is just that, HOT. I liked it from the get go but the wife nixed all reds and orange. But then she sent me a pic of a HPR Wildtrak with graphics on her mail route last week, she loves it now. Too late though unless we get a chance to order a ‘23 or ‘24 to replace the ‘22.

Not a raptor, but when I first saw the colors, I was all over antimatter blue. However, I ended up with a BMW with a blue that is essentially antimatter blue clone.

Got the lightning blue and love it. I was close to getting area 51 though.

I had this happen with a wrangler I just got. I started as Sarge Green but switched it over to Sting Gray. I'm glad I did that.

It was indeed a HPR Wildtrak I saw. But still looking forward to my EG OBX. Two weeks, two weeks more.

EG here and no regrets, it looks better every day and get tons of compliments on the color.

Orange should show scratches / pin stripes a lot less FWIW.
