It looks great. I dig the flat look. I always liked the concrete gray option on Toyota TRD Tacomas and formerly 4runners.
Yep, this CG does look good in the sun. This morning it was kinda cloudy. I did like the way CG looked better than A51, so just based on those two together, I'm glad I switched to CG.

Had the chance to see the cactus grey in person on a Bronco sport and it's very different to both the old and new build and price images. I would say it's an off white with a touch of Grey and green.

Please see Mike Levine's Twitter Post.

So it is not actually that Green, but is more Gray. Pretty big difference there!
Real life photos confirm this, but I wonder how many people have ordered the color thinking it is a shade of Green?

It isn't quite fixed:

I haven't a clue why as to why the B&P has been allowed to be so terrible. It seems to me that the "Rockstars" and the group leadership have taken the "Done is better than perfect" mantra to the nth degree. I'd be so pissed if that group fell under my umbrella.

Question for the people that see green when they saw cactus grey in person...were you wearing glasses or sunglasses? When I saw it thru my window I saw green but to the naked eye it was grey. It would be interesting if glasses make it green, and people who don’t wear glasses see grey
That's what I was thinking as well. My glasses are polarized, and add a slight color shift to things. When I take them off and hold them against Cactus grey, the part i can see through my lenses looks more green than to my naked eye. The dealer I ordered from also said it has a pearl coating[Jet Fighter Grey does, which is the same color code], and by nature will color shift depending on angle of the viewer/camera.

Its got something going on...you can see in person on the Sport, the color shifts as you walk by it or move your head at different angle...what is it if not a pearl coating, genuine question?

I already said i wear glasses, my eyes are horrible, dude. I wasn't throwing around bad info, i repeated what I was told, stated what i saw, then nicely asked you a question. No need to be a dick about it. This is page 14 of a thread about a Bronco color, where the fuck else am I supposed to ask? So I digress, what is up with the color, if people see it so differently there must be something going on? I don't see pearl exactly, but there is a drastic color shift between direct light and indirect light. I don't know terms, but something is up.

I saw it on the lot, on a Sport. It’s actually lighter than the left (more accurate photo). It’s a grayish white.

I just got the chance to view cactus on the ranger
I love it... I finally- finally picked a damn color.
Don’t care that it seems flat or mint or blue or primer. If you like it chose it, if not pick something else. But I for one believe cactus grey needs to be seen in person before passing final judgment...

good luck!

I switched from Carbonized Gray to Cactus Gray based on the new representation on B&P. My dealer called me (and I don’t agree with the harsh characterization that they are “all f....ing idiots”) who let me know that they had an A51 and CG Sport on the lot so I could see them and decide what the colors looked like. Since then I’ve been by 3 times so I could see CG at different times and in different light. I always see some amount of green in the paint. In some light I love it, sometimes it looks too minty green for my taste. And I looked close, there is no metallic in the paint. I really wish they offered a Cement Gray like Toyota, I’d be all over that. I’m back to Carbonized Gray.
