Okay, I finally got out to see the Bronco Sport in Cactus Gray. I wasn't planning on posting any pictures since we have so many on the site already, but I'm going to do it to show a comparison.

First off, the color was as I expected and I like it. It is not that color shown in the pictures on the bike rack thread. That's either the camera making it look like a dark gray or it's a different color. It's also not the dark day causing that look. It's a crappy dark day in Seattle too and I did not see anything that looked like that color on the Sport.

Second, there were two Sports in Cactus Gray on the lot and one was body color top, while the other a gloss black top. If I go cactus, I am definitely doing the black top. I think the color looks wonderful with black accents around it everywhere.

The first two pictures are similar to some we've seen on this site. One looks really green, the other a very flat grey. Neither is accurate. The third picture is what the color looks like (assuming you have a color accurate monitor or phone). Any pictures you see on the site that look like that third shot, that's the color.

There ya go. My 2 cents that nobody asked for. And I don't give a shit what Rick Astley has to say about it. :D


A bit too green in this pic.

This is the exact same color. (Can you believe it?)

This is what it actually looks like to my naked eye. Notice the gray and silver cars in the background.

Here's a random gray car in same lot, same lighting conditions.

p..s. On my way home I saw an FJ Cruiser in gray. I'll post an internet picture that looks like what I saw. A true gray.

When I saw it it was mostly sunny, but of cloud, and the Sport was half in the shadow of a sign and half out. The sun was behind it. All three of your photos are accurate to what I saw. :ROFLMAO:

I agree, though, that your third photo is the best representation of the overall colour.

Ditto on the Black Mod Hardtop. If I go with Catus Gray it will definitly have the Black Hardtop. Bummer on the late availability, but worth the wait IMO.

I too want a black top, but I would prefer it to be MIC dull black not shiny shadow black paint.

I'm going to assume that is sarcasm.

I would prefer hard top that matched fenders and all other black plastic. Not mic grey or mod shiny black.

And Squatch preproduction 2 door cyber with no engine had one.

I personally prefer the shiny black hardtop. As it'll match the shiny black grille and mirrors.

I have personally yet to see one in complete sunlight as most dealers around us have them up front by the front doors and they’re all cast in shadows but I’m still hoping to see that soon but it’s ? percent our color choice unless that new green sways us!

I had the same dilemma and ended up with Cactus. I really like A51, but it came down to what color I'll like more in 2-3 years. Tough choice for sure, and you can't go wrong.

I love the color because its different and I have a feeling my wife will wind up getting a Bronco Sport in Area 51 since its pretty close to what she had on her 2010 Escape that was in denim blue.
