Thinking about going with Cactus gray BD. Do those that own one feel it has a green tint to it or is it totally gray?

Honestly it depends on what lighting it is in.
Indoors under certain lighting conditions it looks basically gray. Outdoors you can tell it has a slight green tint to it—especially if it is sitting next to a vehicle that is a ”true” gray color.
But in most lighting conditions… you can tell it has a slight green tint to it.

This was the first color I wanted when I thought it actually was a mint green. Early on in the process I went and looked at a B Sport in CG. Bottom line, it is gray.

Owner of a cactus gray BL since August and I can say unequivocally that it is 100% gray with zero hints of green in any lighting situation. But that's just me.

I might be crazy (I am), but I looked at the CG on the Sport and the Ranger and it looks different than it does on the 6 gen. I don't know why it just does, on the Ranger I see a more green tint then I do on mine. Might be the body lines I don't know.

I see the tint of green every now and then. I guess it's the whole "what color dress" picture that was going around a few years ago.

It's funny. I see mostly sky blue and gray hues but had a buddy who thought it was white on a cloudy/rainy day.
There on both sides some pictures were before some mods were done like the Jcr prerunner bar

Yeah… it’s definitely does that to a lot of people (myself included).
If it’s sitting next to something white (like the garage door in your photo), it looks effectively gray. Stick it next to a vehicle or surface that is truly gray and you can tell immediately there is some green in it.
A few months ago my dealer had a Ford Transit in Avalanche Gray sitting next to a customer’s Bronco in Cactus Gray, and it was clear as day that the Cactus Gray had some green tint in it. Drove by the dealer a day later, Transit had moved, and suddenly the green had disappeared from the Bronco.

In my opinion, all Bronco colors look different (and better) on the Bronco than other current Ford vehicles. I think it's the body lines and all the flat / boxy / surface area the Bronco has.

My ranger is cactus and IIRC the paint is actually a very neutral grey with a slight nudge towards blue. But to my eyes, it ranges from a neutral grey to a slight green tint depending on the lighting. I like it on the ranger and bronco but I think it looks best on the mustang with the match 1 graphics.
To answer your question though, it's a very subjective color and if you're expecting anything decisive, it won't be. It's like the La Croix of paint colors. I will say that I've had more out-of-the-blue positive comments on this color than any other vehicle I've owned.

Depends on lighting. By far the coolest color though!
