Pretty sure if Ford wanted to satisfy everybody's perfect color choice, there would be ~190,000 color options available (one for each reservation holder).
Exactly

Not even close to CG.....You must be color blind because that's desert dust. ?
Well it's damn-well close enough in certain lighting that we don't need a half dozen paint offerings in the "Afghanistan and Kabul desert-tones" to join the "Ford thinks all people are color blind" paint pallet they have stuck used on over half the Bronco paints for 2021 MY.

Well I'm not going to argue with someone who still thinks white appliances are in style. Cactus Gray looks nothing like that hence the name has GRAY in it not beige. I've been dealing with colors for 40 years but I guess you're the expert here. ?

Guard Green, Green Gem or Dark Highland would also have been acceptable from Ford's current/recent pallette.

I'm a big fan of the Green Gem , but I can imagine there would be a lot of "not love" for the color because of how black it looks in lower light levels....just like the Antimatter Blue.

The Dark Highland would probably be a solid WIN with A LOT of people.

Just going out on a limb here, but I think the joke is that we've seen alot of CG pics but nobody seems to know what color it is. So going along those lines, everything "is CG". Tongue-in-cheek.

I totally understand but it's still a gray tone not a beige tone. It looks nothing like the tan that Toyota uses and I think that would look great on a Bronco. Total desert runner. :)

Yeah, color wise Ford screwed the pooch on options. I was talking to my kids and said "they should have included some Minecraft terracotta colors" it would have added a nice variety.

Cactus Grey looks nothing like those early computer generated FMC pictures you posted.

Here are some actual pictures I took that are color correct.

Thanks for the pictures. It's hard to tell with the shadows but it looks to have a grayish green tone? I liked the quicksand color because it really hid the dust and pin striping but still had a nice deep shine when cleaned up.

Ford paint code K7, Atlantic Blue Metallic.
The gave up on that probably 20 years ago, so VB is my choice. But if there was a Deep Metallic Root Beer Brown, I would skin a toddler for that.
