if you want a color that is seldom ordered and holds a higher overall resale get YELLOW !!!!!

Looking at all of the final production numbers it seems that yellow is the rarest. Orange fury is good looking too

So I did it. Picked the performance blue! I could not pass it up at $4800 off MSRP. Called the dealer yesterday as end of the month was nearing. He was stuck at $3000 off but he took my offer. Pick her up Monday. I can believe I own 2 of these fantastic machines. Pics to come

thank you everyone!

It (performance blue) is avail. on the Raptor...I love the color so much , we drove 1000 miles round trip to get the one we wanted ( and to avoid markups around my here). I wanted this blue to match the stripes on my 350. It is more of a metallic grey color. I had a guy chase me down in another Raptor to ask about the color. That hasn’t happened to me in any other car I have owned.

As an owner of a '19 Raptor in PB, I wholeheartedly back your decision. It was that color or nothing for me. Congrats on your new ride!!!

I really like both blues, but I personally like that PB is exclusive to Ford Performance products.
I’ll try to find it but from the GT500 press release there is a pic with two 500s in the drag strip water box, one Velocity and one Performance Blue, both looking great in the sun.

Seeing them side by side like that does show the difference. PB is a metallic and VB is a pearl. PB is more muted. VB in the sun glows almost neon bright. In the shade, it can be difficult to detect which is which, unless they are side by side. (That sounds like an awful line dance).

Anywho, Here are a few pics of VB is sun and shade....
