A friend had this on a Dodge Dakota, the color was called Amber Fire Pearl, that thing was ugly, but I think a may have looked worse in that pea green.Yeah the Bronco colors are boring as hell. That really sucks cos it’s supposed to be a fun car. The only reason people get excited about particular ones is cos they know all the other ones suck in comparison. I think Holden / HSV had more exciting colors 15-20 years ago.
This has been the EXACT argument of the manual trans fans for years now.
This is from the '23 schedule chart, might be a little more up to date for color choices:Got some data to back that up? This was a recent outing put on by the local FB group, and ours wasn’t there…
A few things on this (persumably 2021) graph:
- Many of the colors shown don’t line up with the text, so who knows how accurate these percentages are…
- Why is Eruption Green listed? It wasn't available for '21, and now that it is available, it's proven to be very popular.
- Cyber Orange and another color (Rapid Red, maybe?) weren't available on Base or BB in '21, and Lightning Blue could only be had on FE's. These colors likely would have had higher take rates if allowed on all trims.
- Cactus and A51 were the big thing a few years ago, but everybody has similar colors now, and I doubt they’re as highly sought after now as they were in 20-21. And they certainly don't need to offer A51 and Azure at the same time, especially at the expense of dropping any shade of yellow or orange from the lineup (Heritage and Raptor notwithstanding, but those are both very limited production).
- Dealer stock vehicles are overwhelmingly black/white/silver/gray, so they have an unfair advantage in being picked. Are these colors REALLY desired by so many buyers? Or is it a matter of, “Well, that’s what they had on the lot, so I got it”?
- If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that most people are boring…
All your post proves is that the only real broncos are Cyber Orange... everyone else is a pavement queen
Very interesting. Definitely begs the question, "WHY do they still sell Iconic Silver?!" And Azure can fill A51's slot, so they could add something fun!This is from the '23 schedule chart, might be a little more up to date for color choices:

Sometimes the boring colors provide the best option to add your own mark.
You guys have proven that a little splash of color does wonders for Cactus Gray!Color is very individualistic. I love Cactus Gray, but felt it needed a little more color. Adding the Ford Retro Stripes and power coating a few things really changed the look. Couldn't be happier.
Similar to the backseat cup holders, the triggered option is only available in the 6G Bronco II.
Whatever you do, don't use the search function and uncover the years of threads about Ford's horrific color pallet for the Bronco. You might find answers.Was browsing my local Ford dealers websites and noticed some good news, but also some bad news. The good news is the Broncos are finally coming! The bad news is.... it's an unrelenting sea of ocean blues and cloudy grays. While I love Area 51 and the new Azure color is nice too, I just think A51 is kind of played out. Of 24 in-transit Broncos within a 100-mile range of me, there' s only 1 race red and 2 shadow blacks. And if that wasn't bad enough, there isn't a SINGLE real 2-door Bronco.
I know Ford will have zero problems selling each and every one of these, but for such a cool vehicle it just seems like such a shame that there isn't a more robust and exciting range of colors to choose from. I can't help but be a little jealous of all the fun colors that Dodges offers for their Jeeps and Challengers.
Does anyone else feel the way I do? Or are you happy with the current paint options?
I ordered it 2x, but they didn't build my order in time and I like HPR in bright light but when overcast it's just a little too brown for my taste, so I ended up with Velocity Blue. I'd have liked to have Code Orange as an option on the plebian Broncos. However, I'd much rather have seen something like Sunset Orange from the Escape or Nissan's Sunset Drift Chromaflair. I've seen more Cyber Orange bronco's driving around Central NC than I have white or black, but Eruption Green and A51 are by far the most common colors to see.Literally none of those look "built"??
Yes, especially the ones with comments, predictions, and musings from Rick himself.
How can people be so bad at labeling a pie chart? They must suck at their jobs.This is from the '23 schedule chart, might be a little more up to date for color choices:
