For all the people loving blue which color blue for your new Bronco are you going with and why? Antimatter, Velocity or Area51??
My reservation selection says Antimatter because at 0830AM on 8-14-20 there was no Velocity on the paint selection. Velocity will be on my Order because it has the "APPROVAL" of my wife (and me, too).

Toss up again. Originally wanted AM Blue with A51 second. Too many shades of blue already out there. A51 is not that popular, so maybe I'll go A51. Would like to see all the colors in person... Ask me when we place our orders.

I like both Antimatter and Area 51 for totally different reasons. I flip flop back and forth lately just like I flip flop back and forth between Base + Sasquatch and Black Diamond. Ahhhhh somebody stop the madness and just release the pricing already. ?

That is a freaking gorgeous color. And will work perfectly with either a white top or the carbonized gray molded-in-color hard top that comes standard on the 2-Door Badlands. Will create enough contrast with the gray that I may even opt to go that route instead of white if I can't get white wheels from the factory to finish the retro look I'm after. BL also comes standard with machined carbonized gray-painted aluminum wheels, so the gray contrast with AMB would balance beautifully ?

If you want all the off-road bells and whistles I suggest a fully loaded badlands. 2.7, Squatch, and Lux you’ll be identical to FE without the graphics. Plus painted hard top and the like if you want it

Possibly made my color decision. Was leaning towards AM Blue with A51 a close second. Spent the weekend looking at shades of blues on cars. AM Blue I feel will just blend in with the rest of the blues. Though I do like the darker color with the black top. Thus I have for now made A51 my first choice. Not as popular and kind of unique. Yes would like to see in person. Next decision is to decide between black/carbon grey top or white. I just don't like the idea of white getting dingy/dirty over time and hard to clean if the grime gets imbedded. Decisions decisions, gosh the dilemma's I have to live with. ;)

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.

What's Antimatter Blue look like outside on a cloudy day? I can't predict whether it will look more like the indoor shot (black and boring) or the full sun shot (awesome color).

If this is one of those Ford colors that only looks good in full sun (Lava Red, Magma Red) then it's out for me.

It will probably look black on a cloudy day IMO.

Even after seeing the samples of the paint, this color to me will still be very similar to Mazda Crystal Blue Mica. the AB seems to have more blue in it, but its one of those colors that light really changes it. If you have time go swing by a Mazda dealer and check it out
