Best option is to go down to your local dealer and see it in person. The color is quite morphic. Or, do a search for cactus gray on here and you will be even more unsure as every picture will look a bit different. Go see it in person!!!!
Thanks I just did that...Cactus is awesome! Thanks much

I had the same questions so I took some pictures of Cactus Grey at my local dealership. You can really see how different the color looks from your viewing angle. First 2 pictures are the same vehicle (Ranger) second two are Bronco Sport.

I'm having a real hard time picking out a color for my Bronco. On the Bronco part of Ford's site, they show a 4-door on the right side that says it's Cactus Gray. It looks blue. Can anyone help me find pics of the colors that aren't computer generated? Thanks!
Bob - Welcome to one of Dante's 9 Circles of Hell (what color is that Bronco) - or at least the Ford's version of it. You are not going crazy, as the other posters have noted. CG (and AMB) are colors that somewhat depend upon the eye of the beholder. The best advice was indeed to make your way to a dealer to see the various colors (in differing conditions, I might add) to get the best idea.

You are new, at least to this site, so you may have only been plagued by this for a week or so. If you want to see some tortured souls, do a couple searches on the color discussions here and you'll likely be happy you haven't been wrestling with this for the last 9 months like many.

I got to see the paint cans in Moab last week, so I called the dealership. My sales guy wasn't in, so they gave me his cell number. I called it and bugged him at home to much hilarity.

Changed from Area 51 to Cactus Grey - when I saw it in person, I knew it was just what I wanted. I couldn't tell at all from photos online.

Race Red is one of the "rarer" Bronco colors that you will see. I love it.

I have Area 51 (like everyone else) and even that color looks different in just about every light. The gloss looks different as well. It looks glossy in low light and complete matte in bright sunlight.

Actually, Rapid Red is more rare because it was only offered for one year. I would have ordered Race Red for mine except that Ford wouldn't allow it for a 2021 Base model for some stupid reason.

For the original poster: order a real color like red, green, or blue. Forget the various boring shades of grey.

Probably right about Rapid Red. I know that for 2023, Race Red is less common than the rest.

Chances are, if this is your first go around with ordering, unless you choose black or white, your color choice might not be available by the time they build it.

That's the most longest comma filled sentence I've done.

Gonna have another beer now

Lightning blue! Oh sorry. Anyway just last week got a compliment on the color from a stranger when I was dropping off recycling.
