Official Paint Samples / Swatches For 2021 Ford Bronco Have Arrived. Cactus Gray = Jet Fighter Gray

[BravoV4]

Thanks so much for posting, @BravoV4 . What vehicles come in CB? Man, the Bronco would look SO awesome in Yellow Pearl, especially with a white roof.

Are you asking about Carbonized Gray?

Confirms my decision to wait another year for better colors

Wouldn't hold my breath. Ford only changes colors every third year at most, and then its to sub out a color for a different shade.

Ranger had the release color of Chili Pepper Red (which was horrid), and swapped it out after the first year. But it's taking until their fleet-wide color switch to really make any changes in the lineup.

Mustang has more frequent color changes and Bronco might as well if it remains popular enough. But i'd bet that aside from Area 51 either being a 1-and-done (due to it being exclusive to Bronco) you won't find much, if any, change until the mid-model refresh.

Lighting and not the greatest angle. Come Saturday, I'm having more photos and videos done to try and give everyone a better idea of each color.

I'm excited to see more, thank you for these pics and it's impossible to please everybody. So just please me and take those short videos of Cactus Gray, Antimatter Blue and Area 51, thanks!

Race Red looks better than I thought... hmmm

It's a great color to be sure. Not the most robust color physically (research it's frailty), but with some paint protection film up front you'll have an excellent looking rig for many years! It's also providing the most pleasing contrast to the roof and black trim, IMHO.

Unrelated; Race Red has been my second place color since release and was the only color I was thinking of for the 2016 Mustang as that's when I was last looking for a new car (ended up buying used then leasing a Mazda as I already have a fleet of pleasure-drivers).

Seriously, these same colors are going to be on the escape? Looks like CG, A51 and CO are exclusive... I don't want a new bronco with escape paint on it.... lame.

Thankfully Ford will let you escape the lot with any color you want out of the lineup. And the days of multiple model-specific colors ended back in the 1980's. That Area 51 is exclusive is the bone they throw you, so now you won't have to escape off the lot in shame, get it and you'll only have to quietly escape situations where Bronco Sports in the same color come by to talk to their big, burly, brother.

I think they are asking about the yellow card labeled CB....
I would like to know about D1 and HN ... can you take a picture of those, please?

Carbonized Gray really stands out here and I'm 100% on the Cactus Gray bandwagon.

 

[cybersal]

Right, was asking about the "CB" in the book, not Carbonized Grey.

 

[BravoV4]

Guard(HN), Stone Gray(D1), and Grabber Yellow(CB)

EDIT: Did anyone else see the sheet says "Cactus Gray/Fighter Jet Gray"???

It's been talked about for some time that those colors are one in the same. The touch-up paint for each has the same color code.

I must like confusing, Cactus Gray still first choice & Area 51 second. I think if Area 51 had more Grey and less Blue it would bump to the front of the line for me.

It's funny you say that because that is 100% me too. haha

@DonM I'll be redoing all these Saturday night. Hopefully have them to Doug by then, if not Sunday morning. I'm doing videos of each as well. I'll put them all side by side in one video as well.

Totally missed this thread yesterday... I'm mind blown at the change in Rapid Red indoor vs. outdoor ? also this is tearing me back towards VB... Ah decisions ?

Apologies in advance for what may be a dumb question, but TBH I browse the forums so glass houses and what not...What's the difference, if any, between metallic paints (VB, AMB, Carb Gray) and the ones that seem to say metallic tint (cyber, rapid red)?

I'm with you Philly!

 

[ColStrik]

Heres a picture i took if that helps anyone of the mach 1 at ford nationals

Beautiful, CG for me!

 

[JrShelby]

Got our book today. Took pics outside I hope this helps especially in regards to Antimatter. Tried many angle with Antimatter and believe It looks close towards the middle/bottom of the picture. Disregard the ruby red thought it was rapid red.
