Nope... Still not helpful @Administrator

The one good thing about delayed ordering is that I can see these two colours, along with Antimatter Blue, in person.

Thanks. This helps me with my decision to go with Cactus Gray.

Can someone in the paint business look at the “recipe” for CG to discern if it may have a mint hue possible?

This should answer all your questions....

Yup thanks! When it was stated that something about pellets having a blue/green hue that settled it for me. CG is as green as the bronco gets for '21 and the mint we think we see sometimes is really there, not just imagination.

Oh great! Now I have no clue which color I want...

edit: I got to see an A51 sport over the weekend....It is much better in person, imo. Not as pastel as some pictures depict. More of a gray undertone which I was hoping for. I hope to see CG before I have to order.

Top and bottom picture is the blue that looks good, the others are definitely leaning baby blue. 51 is definitely frustrating.

That must be the motherlode of scores! The two most elusive colors. Together. Well done, and confirms that neither screams to me like race red.

Seeing the colors in person makes a big difference. I initially liked Cactus Gray but over time it fell out of my favor. I just saw it person at my local dealership a couple days ago and it blew me away it was so awesome. I cannot wait to see Area 51 in person and that will really help me decide I think. I would also like to see COMT as well. Those 3 colors have been rotating around 1-3 for me for a while.

love it or hate it, cactus grey is really just an off-white

Best pictures yet of CG, so thanks. Seems to be a pretty dynamic color considering how the look shifts from a cement gray to a green to even a blue hue depending on lighting conditions and/or photo exposure settings. Non-intuitive as it is also a very simple color.
