So I just realized that you're the one who took those photos. Which dealership and do they have it there for a while or was it a specific event? I might make a trip to look at it today.


It's what I plan on ordering so it all hinges on how I feel about it in person. I don't care enough about the other colors in order to want to order one... save for maybe Ingot or DIB.
Sean, it was at Brandon Ford for Dealer Training. I don't know how long it's going to be there. Someone else said the same Car was in Cleremont Yesterday. I'd Call ahead before you drive over.

The car is gone. Left at about 3. Took the outside pictures as he was leaving. Took the inside pictures just after his last training. Which I sat through for 45 minutes lol. Have any questions I know just as much as your sales person Plus some.

Well that settles that. No questions... just ready to see it in the metal with the hopes that the x-factor kicks in.

Look in my drop box If you like that color, you will love that car. It is pretty close to what I saw when I was there. The car is AMAZING just on the ropes about the color now. Was hoping it was darker and more green:( Not to mention it looks to much like my dads truck color.

Thanks for the photos. What you said right there, that's what I've been hoping for. It looks like the color I want, only covered in dust or dirt. It just looks like it's missing a level of impact. It's too close to grey for my liking. These are the photos that really had me going for it. Oddly, it looks like a completely different color in all of these - I'm assuming either due to the environment and/or the photos' exposure, saturation and white balance levels.





This was the real cincher...


And like I said, I'm not dismissing it yet. I'll wait to see how it looks in person, and hopefully there will be one in GT PP spec.

Several people who walked up while I was looking at it in the shade called it Gray. It is Definitely Darker in the Shade and does have that "Dirty Layer" look to it. As SilverSpoons said it's almost a Military Olive Drab Color. It doesn't have enough Green to it and there is also a Brownish, Muddy quality in certain lighting.

Well shit... literally. I'll try to keep an open mind for the next couple of months. It looks good to me in videos, but I can't do gray for another half decade. I did it with my car and it's boring as all can be.

My '05 GT is mineral gray and can have the same appearance in certain lighting. But the metal flake really pops in the sun :headbang:

If you want to see what it looks like search autotrader near you for all 2015 fords and put guard in the keywords box. The fusions are already popping up with it

No man, not even close. But taking Mineral Gray as an example, the color looks more pewter than it looks gray. But how we define "gray" anyways?

I would categorize Guard as a "Dark Gray" w/ an olive hue to it. It's an awesome looking color and it reminds me a color named "Dark Satin Green" (Go figure) that only appeared in the 1999 Mustangs.
