MIC colors?

(Molded in Clay... get it?)

There are a few videos on the Sport forum that look closer to the Bronco mint green. It’s a color I need to see in person before ordering. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll go a different route.

I think the sport is the “correct” CGI representation. I read another thread (can’t remember the name) of some who went to dealer that had color swatches and said the cactus gray was just a concrete flat gray. I’d prefer that over any kind of bluish tint. Untimely I’d take lead foot all day long

Yes, the Sport has appeared to go multiple directions. It's also been with pre-production color in the Mexican facility. Not 100% certain that we're getting the final factory paint with these rigs (note that they have different license plates, these are not the same vehicle)

Haven't had too much to add to your thread. There are a lot of pics there!

@Rick Astley

Yup, been following all these CG threads. Ultimately where i'm at on this subject is that I can push my specific build back simply by ordering the gloss black roof and sticking with Race Red. By the time that build would be eligible for VIN, Cactus Gray will be out and I can see it in person and make final decision for CG+white or RR+black.

Lab Rat did great work with the touch-up paint! Although there is still small doubt that the J-code paint he was given is the final factory Ford color. When Ford releases the color formally it will go out to every body-shop in the nation so they can re-produce it for their customers. I'm not much of a conspiracy theory type of person, but my guess is that there will be minor materials differentiation between Jet Fighter Gray and Cactus Gray to give different hues.

A friend who owns a body shop has given me this link for being the most up-to-date for when Ford releases their color: 2021 Bronco paint codes

Wasn't that Bronco just a clay model?

Huh, I don't know? The windows are pretty dark. I thought the clay was white though? I just assumed it was real.

I want to know where the heck that 2 door Cactus Gray with the paint matched top went. haven't seen it since that first pic. Just dissipated. Those early SAS rims are killer too, or might be just 33s because its a BL. Looks like it has a tire cover too.

Those rims on the Bronco are the same as I have on my 2019 Raptor.

Based on the paint cans at Bronco East: Bronco Sport CGI is the correct color.

The color is gray; however, it changes in perceived tone based on its surroundings.

Maybe it’s your monitor but that can matches the big bronco CGI closer than the Sport CGI

it's a two-faced color....

All I can tell you is that the color is a straight gray In person. Not blue, not green. The first picture was under full sun at my back.

One other way to validate this are all the MACH1 mustangs in pics in fighter jet grey. Different name but same paint code so it is the same color.i can see where “cool” filters or monitor setting can add blue to it

I agree it changes. I’m just saying it’s closer to the big bronco CGI as evidenced. As noted, “cool” Monitor setting or camera filters can change it too. ??

here's another view of it.. this pic is why I'm going with CG..

OK Ford, what the hell...these are clearly two different colors.
Which one is right?
I love the one on the Bronco Sport, and hate it on the Bronco.
But I KNOW they are the same color in reality.

Looks like battleship gray vs. mint julep. I’ll take the former.
