Is there a paint color you liked/disliked but have changed your mind on?

The only reason I'm freakin buying a Mav is the E green

I'm not a fan of black vehicles. They are beautiful for about 10 minutes after you wash/wax them. Difficult to keep clean.

This. And black is the only color that really makes the "eye patches" on the '25 headlights less noticeable.
But a bitch to keep clean, especially if one lives on a gravel road. Which is why I decided not to place an order for a 2025 (that, and the deletion of physical HVAC controls).

Terrain looked pretty bad from the computer generated pics IMO but in real pictures it looks good.

We live on a gravel road, so Cactus Gray has, and still is, the best choice. It hides the dust well . . .

Oxford White is a great paint shade, usually looks clean totally filthy but when I saw Cyber Orange I knew it was a great color. I avoid any grey or silver because It looks like pavement but green blends in with the forest. The Ox White is good for me, for now, at least for the next 150,000 miles or so. Tiny Wifey makes it look huge.

I liked cyber orange and now like the eruption green. However, I would never order these colors because I think I would grow tired of them over time.

In the past I have owned black vehicles and would never have that color again. I like white but it is harder to maintain especially the front of the vehicle that catches all the bugs/tar/road debris, also white paint seems to be more brittle and chips more easily.

I tend to play it safe and go with more muted colors such as cactus gray, azure gray, etc.

Wanted color that doesn't show dirt . area51 or cactus gray were the choices for me . area51 was available and bought it . Like the color so far .

I thought this might be interesting to get others opinion on. So many colors I feel do not look the same when you compare pics to real life. For me Cactus Grey didn't do anything for me from pictures but seeing it in real life I love it.

The terrain color is nice except it shows the dirt a lot and you have to clean it constantly. Plus I'm not so thrilled with the black streaks coming from all the black plastic body trim parts and window trim that happens every freaking time it rains ( hey FORD WTF is up with that anyways) -- is the black trim parts supposed to bleed like that or is this an issue?? Other than that I do like the color shift depending on the daylight available

I have always wanted a bright blue (like the Atlas Blue) and was trying to get that last month but the one I wanted my dealership could not get the deal to work transferring from another dealership, so an Azure Gray Lariat with BAP just came off the truck during this time and now that I have the Azure Gray which i consider a blue I am very happy with and like the sparkles in the paint that look awesome when the Sun hits it right and with the Black Appearance Package I love the color more and more every day. So I have finally satisfied my want of a blue vehicle. Did upgrade from a Hot Pepper Red XL which was a nice color as it looked to change colors too depending on angle and sunlight hitting it.

I find that gray metallics work very well to hide dust as well. I'd have ordered Carbonized gray, but I already have a Sterling gray car and wanted something different. I moved away from my last house with a long gravel driveway recently too so I decided to go with a color just because I like it.

I wasn't sure about the photos of Atlas Blue when I bought my Mav, but I've grown to love it in person. It isn't as easy to maintain as gray though, that's for sure.

Not normal. Unless you've got local environmental contaminants that are settling and being washed off?

I ordered my '22 in Area 51 but I have to say when I took delivery I was pretty disappointed, I thought it a drab color.

I have the same issue with my White 2022 XL Maverick. This issue seems to be most prevalent with the White color. After two years the black trim bleeding seems to have slowed down.

It's just a PIA makes it look like you don't wash your truck lol as long as it washes off and doesn't stain it I still like to know what the hell is making it do that in the first place

When I first decided on the Maverick in early 2023, I was going to order Carbon Gray. However it was not available with XL trim for 2024. So I ordered my second choice Cactus Gray. I've grown to like it. Actually a really good match to the interior XL color palette.
