Cactus Gray and Fighter Jet Gray are 100% the same color. It's only called Fighter Jet Gray on the Mustang.

On the plus side for those waiting on a 2023 - Atlas Blue Is a really beautiful color. My VB Hybrid XLT was just built but if these are in fact the 2023 colors, I wouldn't have minded waiting a few more months for the darker blue.

I honestly don't feel that this is accurate. We shall see. If Eruption Green gets offered, I may very well order one then trade my CG.

My uncle has a new Mach 1 in fighter jet grey and there is not a greenish hue like cg had. At least to me
I have a FJG Mach 1 and agree that CG has a greenish hue that the Mustang does not have. If they offer FJG in 23 Maverick, I'm tempted to match my Mach 1 but the Alto Blue that I have is fine with me.

These all should be available—
Yeah, along with 1963 Kaiser Indian Ceramic.

But when you look at the list of resale values by color, it's the boring colors- white, silver, black- that do the best. And with today's attitude of "I want to maximize my resale value," the fun colors always lose out.

Chances are there's going to be significant price increases across the board and they don't want people waiting to order a Maverick to jump ship and order something else.
Prices will go up yes but when you do that need justify it with new trims etc

It looks like the F-150 next to it is Velocity Blue. I definitely like the Atlas Blue. If this color will actually be available in MY23, I will pick this color if I have to reorder. Actually, now I kinda want to get a MY23 just because of this color.

CG and FJG are the exact same color. This has been known for a long time. The color just looks different in certain lighting and because of the curves and angles on different vehicles.

I hope those colors aren't true.

I absolutely detest the sea of grey-silver-blue, it's one of the things I voraciously hate right now as I car-shop, and it's already so hard to find a vehicle with great MPG at my price point with cargo space that isn't limited to those boring shades.

My friend had some variety of Toyota SUV and whenever we drove somewhere and parked, the vehicle basically just became invisible. I was in constant fear of going up to someone else's car and trying to get in because it was SO hard to identify which was actually hers.

I had been thinking Velocity Blue if I had ordered last summer, now I was thinking Alto Blue, Carbonized Grey, or Iconic Silver. Now I am definitely thinking Alto Blue if it turns out to be on the order sheet.

I agree. Metallic greens rock. I’d consider it, but wouldn’t make sense financially. I’ll have to stick with cactus gray.

Can you really trust that site to predict 2023 colors when they don't even have all the 2022 colors correctly named?
