Faded tops for everyone. Why Ford? Why?

Faded tops for everyone. Why Ford? Why?

It's an option I was looking at when building out a Sport Badlands for my mom. On the website builder it doesn't match the carbonized gray color of the body, though. There were no other color choices for the top of the roof, but I've seen photos of matching color roof recently .
It sucks having to pick a color when Ford can't show accurate representation. I know its not easy on the web, too many variables. They should produce a huge photo collection, with black and white Broncos alongside for calibration.

Aren't they fade-resistant? I'd worry about the flenders but not the roof.

I was referring to the fact that a light gray top just looks like an old faded top. Even though it’s new, it looks old. Like stonewashed jeans, only not as cool.

Looks kinda cool in this pic. Kinda dark though. Damn this color. ?

I think I’m finally used to how many shades it has ? have you seen this vid covering the cyber orange sport? The Area51 sport is in the background throughout and the color looks great! It’s in the sun so it’s a lighter powder blue

Area 51 has me so conflicted. I've got a FE Sport Area 51 on order, wondering if I should go ahead and reserve another model/color just in case it's horrible looking when it arrives. Not a fan of the powder blue tone in the sun.

A closer video of the Area 51 colour for those wondering what it looks like! It is my first colour choice for a 4 door badlands!, and I still need more convincing, Here’s a better idea in a sport!

Just wanted to get this here.

Can’t believe I never posted this here lol:

Through some friends of friends, I was able to get these photos of the real Ford paint samples sent to me. (And that's all I'll say about that...)

Area 51 and Antimatter Blue inside, in full sun, and in half sun half shade. Pics were taken on an iPhone with no touchup or filters. Both really look like two entirely different colors in the light vs. not. This has not made my decision ANY easier haha.
