Will there be some way to confirm what a color looks like (maybe samples at a dealer?) before final ordering in January? When I see Cactus Grey looking like a vintage light blue, I love it. When I see it looking grey, it's just o.k. Not sure what it would really look like. Although it does seem consistently better with a white top. Thanks!

Many times Ford (and others) use the same color on different vehicles, then give it a different name. Of course you can see the standards like Race Red, Oxford White etc. on the dealers lot. Velocity Blue (late availability on the Bronco) is already used on the F-150's. IIRC (but don't know it for a fact) Lead Foot Gray (F-150's , and some GT 350 Mustangs) is the Cactus Gray. Hopefully someone will come along with more help.

If you're like me, my chance to order is so far off we may be able to see the actual colors on the Broncos.

Lead foot grey IS NOT cactus grey.

It's jet fighter grey and no ford currently uses that color until the mach 1 is released.

Thanks William. I figured someone knew for sure.

Which trim and year? I don't know of any current f150 with jet fighter/cactus.

Maybe the upcoming year but not currently.

I'm getting the 2-door BD, which has a metal panel showing the exterior body color on the inside of all 3 doors.

I'm working to accept the things I cannot change [Grabber Blue accents & carb grey top]; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

My wife suggests reaching out to a dozen decorators...or just picking a color out of a hat :)

Funny. I think you should do both and get a custom blend of the results.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this! I‘m clearly not as tied in as many of you. Where are the interior colors? I did see a seat option when configuring a Wildtrak, but that small color shot of the seats doesn’t seem to match what I’m hearing about the Wildtrak interior.
