Alto blue easily the best blue
Alto is more black than blue.

Atlas is a beautiful mid blue as shown here in the middle:

Atlas blue is nice but seeing a lot of blue and grey trucks, what ever happened to browns and greens? I liked the Area 51 when I saw the Bronco sport before there were any Mavericks on the street. So why not combine blue/grey and you have Area 51. :) I don't have a favorite color and my other Mav is CG. My only color issue is black, a real pita to keep clean so its a young persons truck that doesn't mind the extra work to keep to nice. Work ruck white is the easiest to maintain.

Muted colors don't show the salt as much in the winter, so I like the Area 51 😆
A good point.. I wonder how the maverick hybrid drivetrain will hold up to northern weather?. Thank you.

I have owned both black and white trucks, both are a pain to keep clean.. and yes,, We need more vehicle colors.. the auto world is soooo bland at the moment in its color choices…. I like color on my vehicles.. applejack green mini was my first car, had minis of every color, … and currently…. This titanic beast..

My 2c, Area 51 is either the wave of the future or something that will date your truck to the dark days post-Covid when even Ford couldn't make enough Ford badges. I love the color (and Cactus too), but I didn't love it enough to put it on mine.

I did wander if all the “muted” colors were a result of pigment shortages.. it does seem grey/white/51 etc are easier and potentially cheaper to make than strong colors.. umm.. will 51 die when (if) supply chains resolve themselves…. ??.. thanks for the input..

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.
i almost opted for area 51 when I ordered mine but went with a more traditional (and relatively boring) gray.
I see at least a dozen Bronco sports on the road each day as well as a hand full of a Broncos, and at least half of them are Area 51. It isn't all that nice of a color to begin with and now it doesn't even have a uniqueness about it. So yeah, Atlas blue all the way.
