Highland Green!!

Or maybe I'm biased due to my love for Bullitts

I would love to see Guardsman Blue make a comeback on the S550. I'm fully expecting to see this.....maybe some guardsman blue racing stripes? don't forget it's the 50th for the GT350 also.

What they need are more interior colors. Certainly not just black, a big turn-off for me (too hot). In years past they may have had tan, red, white, blue, and more. No good reason they can not do it now, especially with the high prices of the cars, the ability to make colors optional, and the big jump in sales volume they should get from an exciting all-new design and international sales.

As others have mentioned I'm also interested in both a yellow (I love school bus yellow), and an orange.

Sterling gray metallic is the color of my F150 and it's a really great color, but I have a hard time finding a color that accessorizes well with it. I considered aftermarket wheels for it when I needed tires, but I struggled finding something I thought matched just right. It looks good with the chrome stockers I suppose.

I purchased my Focus in 2009 in Red, and a motorcycle in 2006 in red as well, and I've always liked a good deep, glossy rich red, but I don't think I'm going to get that this time around, but a red or two should be offered.

I'm meh about the greens, gotta have it included, but variety is good. What are the detriments to more color options? Is it a huge cost to have a large palette? I'd like to see more choices.

Finally, can we get rid of this surcharge for certain colors? Back when it was $295 okay fine, but that has now doubled to $595 for colors like Molten Orange on the Fiesta, or Tangerine Scream on the Focus. However, if my options were a small basic color palette as we've seen or a richer palette with more options with a few having a price tag, I'd choose the price tag. Even at $600.

Maybe offer the 9 or 10 base colors then offer a nice range of Anniversary colors. Get your Orange, Yellow, Green... Ford can get expensive with paint but, to be honest, $600 dollars for a paint job isn't bad.

I'm waiting for Ford and PPG to allow you to pick the color via Mustang Customizer and charge the customer on top of the MSRP. PPG can color match anything... for a price but, it will be cheaper at the factory level.

Mustang colors? I'm not a huge fan of the current options.

BMW has had some great ones. The best is Technoviolet Purple from many years ago IMO. This e92 M3 was custom painted in it.

Good idea. I would really like to have the option for more colors from Ford even for an added cost. We're a long way from the few dozen color options they had back in the day.

I wonder if they will do anything matte like the BMW "Frozen" colours?

 

[Melino]

Man those are really nice!

The frozen look is great. Looks kind of like matte colors which I'd love to see a few offered for the Mustang.

I want matte black. Should be easier to clean too I would think.

 

[Diggitydog]

Apparently the matte paint is quite a challenge to keep looking good. Not sure but heard that it shows scratches just as easy and requires special care to keep it healthy. On top of all that it's apparently tricky to repair.

Yea my friend got one of the frozen colors for his... it looks great and hides dirt better but it's expensive and difficult to upkeep. No wax, polish or sealants obviously and if you use the wrong product to clean it can cause shiny spots or uneven surfaces. not worth it in long run IMO.

Speaking of bimmers, I really like the new M color San Marino Blue. Under bright conditions it looks like electric blue not too different from Ford's deep impact blue but in darker lighting its got a nice deeper almost purple to it

Dark Highland Green!!!

Love to see this color back in action, but i do love the color black tho too.
