Must stay strong to my Area 51
It's a tough call to be sure!
Now, to confirm how "tone deaf" Ford is, you have the ultra-modern and ultra-cheap looking melty crayon paint colors which are essentially crappy primer with cartoonish clear shot over it.You name the problem without seeing it. People clamored for a heritage color. Ford brags about giving a color 'inspired' by one instead of the actual color. Dear Ford, just because you can make it color shift, doesn't mean you have to every time. Tone deaf to the end.
That includes:
Cactus Gray (massive take-rate, and very popular)
Area 51 (massive take-rate, and very popular)
Race Red (surprisingly still a melty crayon color, but it's so bright it gets away with it)
So you've got about 1/4 of your paint options as ultra-modern melty crayon.
PLUS, about 50% of the colors are grayscale, which sells like hotcakes.
The paints for Bronco that color shift are:
Eruption Green
Velocity Blue
Anything that's tri-coat (Ford has been as consistent as the tides in having 2 cost-option tri-coats for the past 15+ years)
What's the issue here? Where are they tone deaf? They scattered the paint styles around quite a bit and hit demographics that will sell. Or was it that Ford needs to listen to just you as a single individual? Maybe apply to work in their colors and materials team so you can have your voice heard?
Internally I call this Ass-Eruption Green, or "AEG". People got tired of the real name for Cactus Gray.Not badā¦. But, does it seem odd to anyone elseā¦ āeruptionā and āgreenā donāt seem to go together to me any more than if the other new color was āChili Pepper Blueā
Bands that need a reunion tour..... PAH! Hacks.Great! Next you'll be selling us tix to the REO Speedwagon Reunion Tour...
I just want to confirm, when you ask how close it is to Mallard, you're meaning the production Mallard green which was used, right?subjective questions for those who have seen it in person, and in the sun - how close is it to the original mallard? how metallic is it - meaning when you look at it - is your first thought "wow that's metallic" or is it more subtle? is it a drastic color shift between shade and sun? sorry these are dumb questions but any opinions from first-handers are appreciated

While I haven't seen either of these cars in person (Bronco in AEG or the Escort Cosworth RS), it's evident the last Mallard green didn't flop towards the yellow spectrum but stayed in the emerald green range. AEG is flopping towards gold.
It appears the flake used for AEG will flop a lot depending on Kelvin and quantity of light.
