If that's true, it will be great! However, all the color pallet, side-by-sides, show it darker than A51, so if its darker, then it can't look like the render. I believe it to be a new incarnation of wedgewood-blue-metallic, circa 1999, hope I'm wrong.Shhhh! don't be saying that too loud ... I'm good with everyone thinking it's A52.

Interested in what you think.
That doesn't look bad! I will reserve judgement until I see it in person, but I'm definitely intrigued!
i honestly don't understand these color choices - year 3 and it's mostly grayscale! ford needs to take a look at what jeep/dodge does with colors- i can't believe we are three years in and you can have any color as long as it's gray!
Oh sweet! Another boring shade of gray...

Interestingly as well, this "Azure Gray Metallic Tri-coat" is a $795 option on the Lightning (which is still available in AMB). Apparently is costs more the put on the Bronco if is the same color vs just "Azure Gray". They cut CO for A51 that looks more purple.

I know, it doesn't make sense for the cost, CO was a tri-coat and was only $595 on the Bronco so maybe they'll adjust fire latter down the road to my favor.
LOL I'm definitely not an FC, that's just a blurb on the end of the username. I'm a prior MM current CTN.
I'm not really sure what Ford's strategy is with the new Azure Gray , why are they charging 1000 bucks for it? Makes no sense

Doesn't look like they want too many people to actually pick this color, and the weird part is, it's more of the same. It's not a bad color, but it's not a show stopper color either. I really don't get it. I was kicking the idea around of getting it, just because I prefer metallics and for me it's either the black or the Area 51 because Ford hates people and removed Antimatter Blue. But for a $1000 bucks, I don't think so. That's a crazy amount of money for a color ; there is so much less paint on the Bronco then there is on a truck, no bed and no roof and they are charging the same amount - I don't think so.
Ford is seriously beating people up with the Bronco and building up more and more resentment.
Edit: Well this post didn't age well for me 
I still stand by the price being excessive, but in person - up close - it's pretty cool, from far away it looks like Area 51
