Grabber blue

[JasonB]

Hi all, does anyone know of a dealer that is getting a Grabber blue mustang in?

I have about 6 weeks to make a final decision on colour and I am torn.

Sometimes it looks really nice and other times it looks like a baby blue, for want of a better description.

I also like Lightning blue and Magnetic with black stripes (not the Ford ones).

You're in for a disappointment...

You gonna have to hope your dealer has a customer car coming in. Doubt they will order one for stock or demo

[MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION] maybe able to describe the colour as I think he's seen in in person!

With what? Not likely to get one in Grabber? I feared as much.

I have ordered Magnetic and have it already booked in for aftermarket stripes. However I spent an age over something bright or something stealth (my ultimate aim with mine) - Grabber blue is one colour I think I would have perhaps swayed me. But now I have in my mind what I want i am happy. Go Grabber blue, hell make a statement.

I had this dilemma and finally went f**k it and ordered the grabber blue.

Go Grabber blue, hell make a statement.

And that statement is: "I bought a car that looks like it was painted with a Dulux colour"

These pictures prove my point. It looks so different in the two pictures, although it does not look such a light blue as I've seen.

AS with most pictures of the stang, it'll look different in different lights with different camera's.

My phone in the sun makes my RR look CO, It can make CO's in the dark look like CO's, whereas others will look RR.

All the colours seem to be ahem 'Bipolar' on camera and flit between multiple looks, best way to see, is to see it in the flesh.

It would help if ford did 'sample size' of the paint, on a plastic shell, much like what Rari, Lambo, McLaren etc do, so you can see how it looks in shadows etc.

Problem with Grabber blue it is like an in your face colour, a bit like the green and orange on the last gen Focus RS. Such colours work on loud styled cars like the GT350, 911 GT3 and old Focus RS.

Unfortunately they only work on a Mustang if you style the rest of the car to match, if your going loud in colour you also need big splitters, big wings, stripes etc. just like a GT 350 and then it looks great, otherwise not so much.

Grabber Blue would be my default if I was to order today. For me, it's a proper "Mustang" colour. It was introduced on the '69 Shelbys and then across the range for the '70 models and then lasted a few years. This was the era of "high impact" colours. Ford had their Grabber (Blue/Green/Orange).......Chevy had their "Hugger" versions of the same. Chrysler had brilliant names, some of which have made a comeback such as Plum Crazy, Sub Lime and Go Mango

Like most colours, it does change under varying lighting conditions. Maybe I'm blind-sided by it's historical connotations, but it never looks like a "baby blue" to me.

However, like all of these high impact colours, for me, they look much better with some black accents (roof/stripes/wheels etc).

Take a look at this restomod '69. Stunning

I'd take something like this

I agree completely on the black accents. I think it's a must, that '69 looks drop dead gorgeous but that 550 looks really good too.

Agree with that, not a colour I would ever consider tbh
