It was a CLOSE choice for me until I saw Atlas Blue in person.
I have googled Atlas blue maverick photos, and seen a few Area 51, but the photos don’t help. Dealerships need larger color swatches,. Maybe they should have painted body parts on the walls so we can see the colors on an actual panel shape.

While I love how the Maverick sports the Area 51, that color is rapidly becoming a bit too common. If you're looking for a unique blue, go with the Atlas.

For a dealership that would seem to be a common sense sales approach, right?

I do tend to agree. The Area 51 and all the other 1950s/60s colors that area re-emerging do seem to have taken over the parking lots. I had Area 51 on my Morris Oxford back in the day, of course it wasn’t called that.. but sure seemed the same color.

I think dealerships used to have inventory that did this service. They are just slow to adapt to the new stock reality.
dealerships have not been “salespersons” in a longtime, more like ”checkout personnel”. Lol

Although the voting is pretty close, the posts are strongly supporting the Atlas over the 51.

We wanted to match our glacier color motorhome and area 51 seemed to be the closest match.

I vote the Area 51 because it is such a unique blue and I like the name. I almost went with Cactus Gray until I saw the Area 51. I've had so many white cars that I thought the gray was too light so I wanted something darker, but not too dark.

I do see the benefits of the lighter color, It will be a Florida vehicle, so white, grey etc suit the floida sun better than a darker color. And I agree, better than grey or white in both looks and function.

Muted colors don't show the salt as much in the winter, so I like the Area 51 😆
