Of the colors available:

Ruby Red
Lightning Blue
Kona Blue

Ruby is the most gorgeous color on the S550 when it's clean and in the sunlight. It has so much depth. Can't be beat. Race red has always looked very flat and plain to me.

My Ruby Red 15 continues to look great after 3 years so ordering a Ruby Red 18 was an easy choice.

Since I am looking at a convertible it plays a bit different. The black top to me does not look good on certain colors whereas it would be fine on a coupe (IE, Oxford White).

So for me I am deliberating between Crimson and Ruby Red.

Crimson can look very blah but when clean and in the sun looks pretty stunning.

I struggled with this for at least a week of sleepless nights trying to pick a color for my 2018. I do not like the yellows or oranges. White is just blah to me, black requires too much upkeep and doesn't look good on camera. I love deep impact blue, lightning is too light, Kona too dark. I loved the royal crimson in direct sunlight, not so much in the shade. I like ruby but our F150 is ruby. So even though I am not a red car guy I went Race Red and absolutely LOVE it.

Make sure you see the colors in person before deciding. Back in 2016, I was ready to pick Ruby Red. Magnetic wasn't even on my radar...until I saw all the colors together at the dealership. Magnetic metallic looks boring on the computer screen, but in person it was my favorite.

Lightning blue or Race red ( because of Bills ride on the dyno pic). I am going to take a look at a base 18 with the A10 next week in lightning blue.

I was going to go Race Red, and paint Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino stripes on it, but the car does not allow for the same style of stripe. The stripe would have to go over glass.

I was going to go yellow with Racer X paint, or white with Speed Racer paint, but both of those designs really require a car with a more pointy front end. Plus the contours on the side don't really allow for a big, circular field with a number inside. I would want a flat panel door to do that.

Then I was thinking orange with Dukes of Hazard paint, but didn't want people to call me racist and throw stuff on my car in parking lots.

I already have a Herbie the Love Bug 1963 bug, but again, the Mustang body doesn't really allow for a true representation of all of the movie car's numbers and stripes.

A-Team van, Scooby Doo van, all of the cars from Death Race 2000, 1966 Batmobile (black with florescent edge stripes)...considered everything just to make my car different.

In the end, I just decided on Oxford White, and I will have red and blue stripes painted on it.

I've owned 6 red Mustangs so far and have liked them all better than any other choice in those years. Royal Maroon (69), Cabernet (88), Laser Red (97 and 01), Red Candy (12), and Ruby Red (15). Ruby Red is my personal favorite and will be repeated on the 18.

It looks even better to my wife and me with large white magnetic autocross numbers and associated required decals.

Went with Orange Fury initially but switched to Race Red after seeing the colors in person.
