Cyber Orange 2021 Ranger paint thoughts and example pics

[Cold_steel]

Just posting this for anyone else like me on the fence about Cyber Orange.

When I saw the orange in the reveal video, I fell IN LOVE with the color they showed.

I finally tracked down a Ranger in CO to see in Broomfield, Colorado over at Sill-TerHar Morors (it’s on the Ford show floor if you live in the area)

Initial impression- it’s absolutely yellow. If I saw the color on the street, there’s a 0% chance I would have called it orange. In certain light, it does have a slightly orange twinge to the yellow. It reminds me of Tonka truck paint (not in a bad way, loved Tonka trucks)

The pics I took look more orange than my eye was picking up in person in the showroom. The sun was shining in the passenger side, and it did bring a little more of the golden out to the naked eye.

Having said all of that that, I don’t dislike yellow. It’s just not anything like the marketing material photos or reveal video. It’s a cool color. It’s got cool metal flake that shows a ton on the sharp curves, and has a lot of depth. I may still get CO, but 100% will have the car called yellow any time someone needs to describe it

Haha your pics make it look more orange than any other I've seen. These are some of the only pics I've seen where it actually looks orange rather than yellow

It reminds me of this, which I love.

THe more I see the CO the more I dislike it. Doesn't look to pleasing on the Ranger either. If the Bronco came in Sabre like the Ranger it would look so much better than the CO IMO.

My thought is that it REALLY bothers me that the taillight curve doesn’t match the body curve.

Is the metal flake as prominent as it looks in the pictures?

Those pics do look pretty yellow. I’ve tracked down a local dealer that has a CO Ranger in transit. I’ll be monitoring to see if I can look at it. I’m still pretty set but if I can lay eyes on it to confirm that would be best.

Yeah it really is. Probably my favorite part of CO.

Yeah I really would. Again, cool color if you’re ok with yellow. If you have your heart set on a color people would describe as orange- this isn’t it.

I like CO well enough but I don't love it, certainly not enough to pay extra. At least it's one less gray.

Too big for the truck too.

I'm afraid this is a color that won't age well. One of those colors that looks good initially but you regret a year or two later. It's a no for me.

Ford’s prices for colors are pretty reasonable. Granted you can get a lot of colors at no additional charge, but $595 isn’t bad at all IMO.

Yeah, that's really bad!

I’m glad Ford is offering this color for all the people out there that want a bright, vibrant, stand out yellow.

as a UT fan and alumnus, I cannot accept this color as orange.

No, not bad at all. If it was THE color for me I'd pay up.
