No need to have any regrets on choosing the best color.

My thought process:

I plan on taking this thing off-road, and it is significantly easier to see pin striping and scratches on paint with darker colors. In addition, on the super dark colors (black, AMB, etc.) it is practically impossible to keep it clean looking even if you do nothing but drive it on the street.

Wife vetoed most of the lighter colors until we were left with Velocity Blue and Cactus Grey. Made things super easy.

I ended up going Cactus Grey because I felt the orange accents on Badlands trim looked better with Cactus Grey instead of Velocity Blue. Had I gone with the Black Diamond trim (which was the original plan until the Sasquatch pricing for the manual transmission was announced), I would have picked Velocity Blue.

Cactus Gray is a great color, especially on the BD, it goes well with the black wheels. I like it as it's one of those colors that 'changes'. I've been hell bent on a metallic red of some sort, hence my order is for Hot Pepper, but CG would be my choice had Ford only offered race red. I'd stick with it if I were you.

You might want to call the Bronco Customer Service line to find out whether you have a VIN #. I called last Friday after checking the backdoor lookup which showed a 2/7 build date and they already assigned me a VIN #.
Good idea.

Have you seen it in person? you will not regret the decision
I did last spring and I was fine with it. Just having second thoughts now that I have a date. However, it sounds like I may have a VIN which would make the decision easy.

I own a Lunar Rock TRD Pro Tundra which I love. So I choose Cactus Gray when I ordered my Bronco last Thursday. I was notified it will be in production on 2/14 and also have a VIN. I don't have any regrets as I wanted something as close to Lunar Rock as possible. I think the Carbonized gray roof and fenders break it up nicely.

I logged into the back door page and just saw I have a Feb 7 production date! So of course now Im starting to questions my choice of cactus grey. Really, none of the colors do it for me, but Im wondering if I should change before a VIN is assigned. Any idea how much time I have left before a VIN is assigned? HAs anyone regretted their color choice? What about Cactus Grey? Thanks!
Did they send you an Email as well? These guys (Ford) are certainly suffering having their craniums inserted in their collective asses!

Cactus Gray is a good choice. That is one of the colors that I really like. But, I ended up choosing HPR because I want a metallic. Good luck with your decision!

I was Cactus for a long while but moved to Carbon. I just see SOOOO many non-metallic, pastel-range colors in all makes and it makes me think the Cactus will look dated really quickly. I'm keeping this thing for (probably) ever so I need something with legs...

If you have a build week, you have a VIN. No Changes For You.

I started to second guess it too because every photo and video online seems to show a different shade or hue but the dealer near my house got one in and every time i drive by it reaffirms I made the right choice.
