The CG is so subtle any environmental changes in lighting pull the color around.
Even looking through your tinted windows will change it. Park it next to anything with high chroma it will read neutral grey. Next to white, mint green...

This is Cactus Gray in person. The iPhone did a great job of capturing what it really looks like, whereas professional video cameras make it look very minty.

Cactus gray has the ability to reflect greens and blues more than reds or yellows, so you’ll see it look many shades of green or slightly blue depending on the light levels or surrounding colors.

Also worth noting is one of the Ford employees (not dealership) that came with the Broncos mentioned a color refresh at some point with a little less green tint.

This is a great representation of it in person. Awesome color.

I was dead set on cactus grey then I had a change of heart. A51 is such a unique color. All these new Korean and Japanese cars are starting to come out with their version of concrete grey, there is nothing like A51 on the road. It’s just gorgeous.

I went to my local Ford dealer one evening and he had a Ford Mustang in the CG. I loved the color and thought about switching to CG from A51. The sales rep said come back tomorrow morning and see what you think of the color. I did and sure enough it then looked mint green. I hated the color. I just don't want to buy a car and look at it admiringly one time and then the next time I see it I want to look the other way. :cautious:
