Off topic but that car is gorgeous.
:thumbsup: Thanks, she is dearly missed....:frusty:

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice color. My 2nd choice actually. But it is too close to the red end of the spectrum to become my favorite. It is red orange to me. I need a orange or orange-yellow. If TY would be cut from the palette, I'd go CO. :)
Understood. Sounds like Grabber Orange is more of the color you prefer.

Correct. It really would be my first choice. Best of wishes to those CO owners, it is a nice color. :)

Yellow and orange are about the hardest colors to capture in a photograph. With a lighter orange (like grabber) you will see a full spectrum of different shades in different pictures. Same goes for triple yellow, we've seen 100 different pictures of that too already. In general these colors tend to come off a bit darker than in reality, hence so many people naming competition orange red. That being said I too find competition orange way too close to red for it's own good. But that's just my opinion of course. Personally I don't know why Ford didn't choose grabber orange, it looks completely stunning on the S550. Here's a render I made after the ABC show in NY:

IMO, GO is way to close to yellow.

I am really torn on the CO or IS, as I love how the lines are displayed in all of the IS pics.

This color either looks amazing or like complete shit. In the pics where it looks amazing, it hard to tell if they are unfiltered, unedited photos or if they have been modified to make the color look richer....
