You captured some good photos there! That VB is really NICE! Not too dark and not too light ... and picturing it with a white top ... wow!
Yep, I went to the dealer right after making a reservation, and totally agree, Velocity Blue is awesome... But who knows what picking that means for wait time. Late model choice, and new they are inundated with reservations/orders. Could be 2022... I was anxious to see whether VB would be an option in the configurator. That at least would give some hope.

I was hoping the same thing ... with the configurator. At the rate the configurator will be available, then maybe VB will be ready for our builds! ?

Duhhhh , The new F150..... your welcome. I think this link starts right at the 35 minute mark where they reveal the real life F150 ..... in Antimatter Blue. It's indoors, but lots of light obviously.....it's a bit dark, but Blue Jeans never did it for me... no life to that paint, this looks like a jewel..... I likey!!

The only problem I have with this is, what real life conditions will actually recreate all the lighting of a conference stage with a dark backdrop and crazy harsh overhead lights? It’ll likely look nice in the daytime, but pretty much black at night.

I was referring to the fact it was a real truck, not CGI. Everybody here has been posting up animated trucks and pics from the Ford.com Bronco page, which most of them, especially AMB are CGI.

...and then there were the shitty color chip pictures and that horrible outside pics of that test mule.

Velocity. Just wish they explain the late availability and how that’ll affect placing an order from our reservation.

Oh... and an official look at it on one of the trucks.
Hopefully we can still place an order in December for Velocity Blue, knowing it will take longer to build. I’d hate to wait until march/april to order.

I'm gonna guess the AMB is lighter than what we have seen judging by the F150 videos that show it to be about like the Bronco colorizer.....of course those are all CGI and the only real life photos we have seen were absolute crap quality.

I saw one of the Ford posts the mentioned they were pushing hard to get VB into the system in time, but obviously they cant promise anything ......under promise, over deliver, right?
They probably heard all of our griping about the bland color palette and had to go with something already in their system if they were going to even have a chance at hitting the deadline.

The Lightning Blue (currently on Rangers-- freakin' gorgeous color!!!) is probably on its way out OR it ends up being too close to AMB since it is a smidge darker than VB.
My mustang is LB and was hoping for LB on Bronco.

Here’s another take on Velocity Blue on my 2020 Fusion the day I picked it up. I’m going Cactus Grey.:)

Velocity blue is my favorite color. Other blues kinda suck. So I guess I'm going Cactus Grey or something as my order will be way before VB is out.

For all the people loving blue which color blue for your new Bronco are you going with and why? Antimatter, Velocity or Area51??
I always wanted to get a Black Color, but my Wife never liked that Color. But recently I got the 2020 For Fusion Magnetic Grey and she is alright with that color, it will take another 2 years with that color and she definitely will get used to it ?.

When Bronco's colors were announced and I saw the AntiMatter and immediately though this is the Color had to get it. It is a New Color, darker than usual Blue or Velocity Blue, in the day time its looks Blue but at night it looks black, which I like it. It looks like all Colors are Optioned and we have to Pay for the Paint? can anyone confirm?

When I was looking for the the Same Model, there were 2 Cars one was Velocity Blue and Magnetic Grey and I did'nt like this Bright Blue and I chose Magnetic Grey. I used to Own a 2015 Mustang 2.3 in Ignot Silver as I could not find the Magnetic Grey at that time. Velocity Blue looks a bit different on Mustang than on a Fusion.:unsure:

I thought Velocity Blue was less "electric blue" and more like a Petty Blue or Grabber Blue. I was under the impression ir would be close to the Nitrous Blue on the Ford Focus RS a few years ago.
I would like a (what I thought was) Velocity Blue or a Carolina Blue. Maybe if I have to wait to order the color I want, I will be able to get the bigger V6 or PHEV V6 hybrid.

Velocity blue would be my choice if it wasn't late availability. Would rather get Area 51 than waiting 4+ months extra for the paint to become available.
I'm a year 2 buyer at the earliest, so the late availability of Velocity Blue doesn't inconvenience me. I feel for y'all that are able to buy right away but can't quite get exactly what you want because of this stuff, though.
