Inspected Cactus Gray

[The Bronze]

I had been trying to see a Cactus Gray vehicle for over a month without success. With the introduction of Lightning Blue, my mind was made up. Today I saw a new ranger at a gas station. I drove up and spoke to the owner. The color is nice. I was worried it looked too much like primer, but it certainly doesn’t. Hint of green? Who knows, I am partially color-blind, but it looks sharp and goes extremely well with the Gray/black trim. Had I been able to see one in person, I would likely have picked this just based on how well it goes with the trim.

I struggled between Cactus Gray and Lightning Blue. Love them both, but probably going with LB as my other two vehicles are both Gray.

I already have a gray 67 Bronco.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to find a nearby dealer with both an Area-51 and Cactus Grey Bronco Sports on the lot. [these are the 2 colors we've been trying to decide between]. I was leaning towards Area 51 and she towards Cactus Grey.

After seeing them both in person... both were quite nice... we finalized on Cactus Grey. Both really great choices... could almost flip a coin and be happy with either.

You can still change your color. In fact you can change anything until Ford issues the VIN on your vehicle.

Yeah, we went back and forth on the wheels and the dealer zigged when we thought we zagged. In the order email it had the wrong ones.

I contacted the dealer and they were happy to change the wheels (not surprising, the ones we settled on are a grand more than the ones on the initial order)

If you're partially color blind then CG is perfect!

See, here's what happens when you're fully colorblind and pick colors for your vehicle. A lovely shade of ripened apricot on the Toyota and a majestic deep ruby topaz on the Jeep.

I used to work with a guy that had a bright yellow Ranger, I asked him how he ended up with that color. He said he was color blind and yellow is the only color he could see so it was a bunch of grays and yellow for his color options on vehicles.

20 years later... now that is almost the norm for the rest of us too.

Truly he was a man ahead of his time.

Dude, you can't just throw him into the shark tank like that! There are a LOT of specific questions one must be asked and certified before somebody gets a job paying that much.

Starting with, but not limited to:

• Do you attend art gallery openings every weekend?
• Do you like fancy wine?
• Do you like fancy cheese?
• In your closet, is the only color of clothing you have black, off black, dark black, light black, gray, dark gray, medium gray, light gray, white, off white or taupe and made of cashmere?

Starting with, but not limited to:

• Do you know how to spin the 'color wheel' like Pat Sajak???

Those are all really good questions that someone might ask a potential employee. Ford, however was more interested in the applicant's flannel collection. I have flannel, wear flannel and would love to make decisions like these base on flannel. I can start tomorrow.

Interestingly, cactus grey looks different with the naked eye and through the windows of your car. As I pulled up to a dealership today to look at cactus gray on a ranger, it was green through my windshield and side windows. However once I rolled down the window and looked at it with my naked eye it was straight up grey. Sealed the deal. Ordered cactus grey.

One of the best bars in all of Seattle is is next door to Filson's in Seattle. We can do flannel up here with the best of them. FWIW, police in Seattle don't like flamethrowers in your exhaust. Nor burnouts in the streets. I think because it could set your flannel on fire.
