Originally carb grey was my choice I thought it would look great with black accents and a painted black HT, now that we can’t get it right away I think carb grey HT and carb grey color will be washed out too much....

Now if Ford offered it in lead foot...

I've had a darker gray car before and although beautiful, it looks dirty 5 min after you wash it. I've been seeing Fords around that confirmed this until I realized that is Magnetic and not CarbonG.

Looks like CarbonG is lighter so I'm now starting to ponder this over my Silver choice.

But then I saw the pics with the MIC top. My issue is that CarbonG is too close to the MIC color and looks off like it clashes.

With Silver being light, the MIC looks darker than the body and I think provides the right balance.

We bought our Sting Gray Wrangler last year. It is a nice color, but it's been very popular for FCA. So, it's become just another gray vehicle on the road in my mind. And as we know, there's a lot of gray vehicles out there. So, we've decided to go with a different color on the Bronco. The wife says Race Red, so as the men here know I'm thinking that's fine. She's been so good putting up with my craziness over all of these years, so letting her pick the color is the least I can do. :)

I just wish Ford would get the black top ready for the Bronco sooner than later.

Here’s my problem with Carbonized Grey, these are everywhere so it doesn’t feel special (and yes I know technically this color is not CG but might as well be)

But it looks so much nicer on a Bronco.

Jeep has so many better colors. Their paint is much prettier in my opinion too. Oh well. Maybe MY2022 will have more options.

I have Sting Grey on my GC. It shows every single scratch, every mark.

I’m going with carbonized, but wish they had offered a real non-metallic gray like the Jeep.

They offer Leadfoot on the F-150 (the one on the right). It's not metallic and IMO it's gorgeous. COME ON FORD. Let me get a Leadfoot Bronco.

Sting Gray, Leadfoot, Audi’s Nardo Gray, Toyota’s Concrete, all flat non metallic gray that’s been very popular for the last few years. I like them but definitely trendy and going to be played out soon.
Yup.

Yes. This is the day I picked my CLS up. Very similar to CarG. Absolutely gorgeous color, but got dirty so quickly and looked like ass after that.

After seeing the photos of the Sting Grey in the light I realize how theres a greenish hue that you only notice in pictures. I was set on CG but I think I might sway to Area 51 now

I admit I had initially dismissed Carbonized Gray as "just another drab, monochromatic offering" but I will say it looks better on the Bronco the more I see it.
