My dealer of choice just sent me these. Said they just got trained on them didnt ask for specifics since it's a sport lol. I live 2 minutes away and have class til 1055am so if its still there I'm gonna go look at it. Last couple of days I have been leaning towards area 51 for my badlands this may tilt me that way if I like it.

Visited myself to see the color with my own eyes. Here a few more pics. First and third pic are most accurate to actual color imo.

That‘s almost powder/pastel blue. Is that right?
I would say a bit darker. The side pic is with the sun hitting it direct. The 2nd and 3rd has the darker shade that i saw up close.

If Cactus Gray had ANY of this hue in person I would be on board.

In-person, just go out to any freshly poured concrete, then look down. That was the Cactus gray I saw in person, sadly.....
And I WANTED to see blues or greens.
Yeah, if it looks anything like Toyota's "Concrete" color, I'm not interested. Too many automakers are on that bandwagon at the moment.

Somebody peeled off the Amazon Smile off the side....
Sorry I just can't unsee the Amazon van photos from another thread when I look at this.

The Prime vans are like 5 shades darker than A51...

This is another look at antimatter blue. I like the antimatter on the color cards...but I think a lighter color would look better...make the Bronco look bigger.

This is another look at antimatter blue.
just how close to the sun does it need to be before it lights up? This looks to be about 2 minutes to black

You know its basically black when you could barely differentiate the shadow black hardtop. funny - if you put your thumb over the area below the rear side window, you cant differentiate at all.

While i've been sold on the AMB and white top, im starting to second guess the white top. It may contrast almost too much. While i think a white top on dark blue looks GREAT, a white top on a 'black' car would look pretty silly. maybe i should get a black top and wrap it white for a couple years, rather than the other way around. I heard its better to wrap over black than white. Hmm. Certainly puts less stress on the B&P. Not totally sold on white top until this color shows more signs of blue.

I really hope that color combo is the reality, I love that hint of green. It's referentially retro without being too retro, if that makes sense.

Not sure. I think it is one of those colors like Magma Red...that changes colors as you move around it.

Here is video of Magma Red which is similar to a antimatter blue. This video shows difference in a true black car compared to Magma.
