Ford Area 51 vs Toyota Calvary Blue?

[Rydfree]

The Cactus Green looks a lot like Cement in real photos, no?
Here’s a comparison of my Cement Tacoma and a real world photo of Cactus Green.

That's a nice looking Tacoma . Before the news of the Bronco drooped I was looking at Gladiators and the Tacoma . I was leaning toward a decked out Tacoma . The Cement is sort of a clear coated primer grey . It has just a hint of pearl that gives a nice effect in the sunlight but is definitely grey . From what I've seen in videos and the painted cans the Cactus "Green" is just that , it has a hue of light green to it .

Thanks! I’m going with Cactus or Area 51. I want something that’s a little louder than usual, but I really don’t like the Cyber School Bus.

I saw a Calvary Blue Taco today and said that looks awesome! I drove home to compare photos of it to Area 51 photos (on the Sport). But honestly, the A51 isn’t doing it anymore. I am looking at CG. I really want one of the blues from the vintage models. For whatever reason, the guys at Ford never called to ask my opinion ?

Im thinking Area 51 and Calvary Blue will be almost the same color. I think Area 51 will have a slightly different tint and be a shade lighter but thats about it. Its so hard to tell in pictures I can't wait to see some of these colors in person.

What do you guys think?

I've been thinking the same thing since I first saw the Bronco colors -- they are extremely similar colors. Toyota's Cavalry Blue is too much like denim for me. A51 has a tiny bit more gray (and maybe green) but is still too close to denim. Wish A51 was a honest-to-god teal.

I was hoping Area 51 was going to be more like the Tacoma Cement color .

Cactus Gray seems to be just a lighter shade of Concrete. I think the green and blue hues we've seen in videos/photos so far are probably misleading.

Personally I'm tired of white/black/gray/silver EVERYWHERE. Seems 95% of automobiles on the road today are one of those shades. I'd like to see color back in the automotive market. Like one of the other commenters said on this thread, I wish Ford had been more daring and brought back some of the original Bronco colors.

I think A51 is more gray/muted than Toyota's Calvary Blue, in a good way. I think it's my favorite.

I was thinking Toyota's Heritage Blue might be closer to Area 51, as it has more Gray in it.

I think you're right. Looks very similar. The more I see Area 51 the more I know my decision to go Antimatter is on point.

The more I see samples of Antimatter the more I love it. The more I see of Area 51 the more I dislike it. ?‍

Antimatter Blue would look great with a white top. Good look on Jay Leno's Dark Blue Bronco.

I'm actually going the opposite route. All blacked out. Which will be easy with Base + Sasquatch since everything in that package is all blacked out. My Bronco will look dark and sinister.

Something about that Calvary Blue I have never liked. I guess it's because I like my blues to really pop. Calvary is very bland IMO. Just like Ford Performance Blue. Just a blah shade of blue.

Surprisingly, you don't get many negative reactions to Cavalry Blue in person. Quite a few folks go out of their way to ask about the color and say they like it. I like it, but it isn't for everyone.

I had forgotten about Heritage Blue. It does have more gray and could be a closer match to A51.

I'm still on the fence. I had swung toward AB but I'm debating about how dark it will be over time.

I like Area 51 but probably going with Cactus Gray. As it'll match my other two 4 x 4 's.

Cactus Grey will be much lighter then your current vehicles.
