Paint samples in the sun

Saw these on Instagram from the account “badxbronco” that does a good job posting content. Thought these would be valued over here but not sure if they’d already been posted. Carbonized grey is really growing on me!

AMB looks great....until you scroll down and realize that Shadow Black reads almost identically in the sun.

To the AMB guys, please do yourself a favor and do not skip over Shadow Black as a comparison.

This just reinforces my AMB choice. I truly believe it's the "dark horse" of the Bronco family that's going to blow people away.

People do not all see colors the same way. I expect some people to look at AMB and see black, but I can clearly see the difference between it and Shadow Black. Plus, we get 300+ days of sun here at 6500' above sea level, year-round, so that thing's going to sparkle like a sapphire in the Colorado sunshine.

All these different post with pics are pretty much useless . Especially these taken in the sun yet at such an extreme angle no metallic shows up . Different cameras are going to skew the colors as well as the monitor you are viewing it on . The only way to tell how a color looks is to wait and see it on a 2021 model .

AMB does have the best flake Ford has used in decades.

Pastel? Not sure what you're talking about. A51 isn't pastel and CG is flat concrete gray.

Not to mention that the Ford paint and trim book is colored plastic. No paint was harmed in the making of Ford's plastic sheets.

The metallic and tri-coat colors all used the exact same textured plastic base which had a silver finish, then layered a tinted semi-transparent plastic over the top of it for tri-coats or had a different color plastic textured base for the "standard" metallic. All of them had an unreasonably and artificially glossy top layer of plastic bonded over the top.

Most people can't decide because the paint color choices suck! Why couldn't they bring back the softer washed out vintage bronco colors?

If antimatter blue is similar to subarus dark blue pearl, then it’s pretty nice. Looks almost black, but the blue metallic really shows in the sunlight. It’s a nice color.

The carbonized grey might look good with the MIC top ? Patiently waiting for more pictures from FORD

This sort of confirms that the only way to figure out what color you want is to see a picture of it on the Bronco. Could be my slight colorblindness, but those color sheets look wicked saturated.

Yes and no unfortunately. I drove a Camaro, almost identical color as AMB. EVERYONE would ask me if it was black and it drove me NUTS! Everyone! Just be prepared for everyone to think it’s black lol.

I just keep going back to this photo...and may be visiting paint shops next summer to check out their "whites"
