Well you are going from the Darkest possible choice to almost the lightest.

So I'd say pick the middle and go Carb!

Imo, black is a terrible choice. Carb is the best looking but you will see every little scratch and ding. Silver is "boring" but has nothing but Pros about it.

I'm a silver Bronco unless 2022 brings Spruce Silver.

I like a dark gray and the subtle contrast between it and the black accents. It's more 'interesting' than all-black. But then of course my current ride is a Granite Crystal Metallic Jeep. The black seems too dark, and the silver too light.

Tough choice. Your preference... I've never had a black vehicle but heard they are hard to keep clean and they show scratches easily. I've had silver and carbonized grey vehicles. The silver looked great for years with little washing or waxing and hid scratches the best. The carbonized is pretty easy to keep clean but the scratches are easy to see. I'm getting the Antimatter Blue, it will be hard to keep clean and hide scratches but i like the color. If it was all about what would be easier to maintain id say iconic silver. Just my $0.02.

I like carb gray but I see so many carb gray Jeeps. There’s two on my street. I looked at the F150 in Carb Gray and it has ALOT of metallic. Iconic silver is pretty boring and Black will get too dirty and doesn’t show the body lines. Maybe Levine will drop some FY22 colors this weekend. Not into Green. Hoping for a tan/sand or a flat gray (lead foot).

I love black cars, always been my favorite. That being said, every black car I've owned caused me stress over keeping it clean and scratch free. The slightest swirling shows up very easily and if you're like me, it drives you nuts. Although, this is a Bronco, maybe you aren't worried about cosmetics that much and wear and tear will be a sign of fun! But in my opinion, I love the carbon grey out of those 3 colors, it looks great with the CG plastics and roof. Especially if you get the grey beauty rings on the wheels. I would get carb grey on my FE if it were an option!

Black will be dirty forever - of the three I think Carbonized Gray looks the sharpest - particularly with the MIC top.

My last 4 cars were black. I love black cars. I don't buy into everyone else's hard to keep clean/ shows scratches easily. I mean they aren't wrong per se... Maybe it just hasn't ever bothered me personally.

That said, I'm not getting black on bronco. Not because of any of those reasons but I think the lack of contrast isn't great. The black on it just doesn't catch me eye like it does on most other vehicles.

I'm going carb grey. I think MIC will look pretty good with it but I like the contrast between it and the black bits. Planning on getting a black badge like the wildtrack and replacing trim badges with black script. I think it'll be fire.

But get to a dealership and scout all the colors out a few times and see what grabs you and go with that. Good luck, it's tough not seeing it in person on the car before buying for sure!

I think it depends on your model. A Badlands with the carb grey optional wheels, black hardtop, orange accents, and the carb grey grill looks great and is my planned build. I also like white with the same build.

If you’re going Black Diamond the carb grey would be my choice.

The interior of the Wildtrak doesn’t do it for me, but with that I actually like silver or A51 the best.
