Area 51 feedback request

[HS DAN]

I've ordered a Maverick Hybrid Lariat, in Area 51, but I'm questioning my color choice. Please comment if you have one in this color.
I've seen many pics, showing this color in various lighting conditions, and it seems too blue in some pics.
In particular, when it is in artificial light, it definitely looks more blue, and not as appealing IMHO.
Of course, in natural light, it looks better, in particular, when it's in cloudy or overcast light.
One video also stated that it is not metallic, and therefore shows scratches more than if metallic.
Any comments, pro or con, would be appreciated.

It’s definitely not too blue. It has a grayer tone to it that reduces the blue when you see it in person. I was iffy about the color before purchasing, too, but I love it now.

It's blue in direct light.

When it's cloudy it looks more slate blue/gray.

Have you tried checking your local dealership for a different model in A51?

I took these pictures a couple of months ago of Area 51. I was worried about it looking like a robin's egg in the sunlight, and I can tell you that after a few weeks of debating whether to switch the color, I'm super happy I didn't. These pics don't do it justice, trust me.

Try to find a lot around your that has something in this color. It'll put your mind at ease, I promise.

I've seen it on a Bronco, and it looked good. However, the Bronco has a lot of black trim on it, which seems to help. The Maverick does not have that contrast.
That's why I'm wondering what Maverick owners with that color say.

I love the Area 51. It's loke a chameleon, I swear it changes colors, and it always looks great!

Just took this yesterday at my local dealership. EB AWD XLT Lux 4k tri-fold $31,655

The roof is barely above the height of the F250's bed, lol.

The A-51 seems to be a love it or leave it kind of color. I love the color myself and that’s what I ordered. A visit to the dealer on a rainy day to check out a Bronco in A-51 sold me , looks great in the sun too. If you need an option I highly suggest White, the contrast to the trim is a winner. I know it’s a tough decision so good luck.

Second thing I noticed is that it looks different in different light. Salesperson hadn’t noticed that. Yesterday morning in bright slanting light, it looked quite white. It was parked beside the building in partial shade. The shaded portion look dark blue. I like it a lot. The sales lady chose the color. We were discussing and she talked me into it. She met me in the doorway 7 months later and exclaimed, “Oh, Tom, it’s BEAUTIFUL! Come see it!” So, a chick magnet. I’m 78 and need all the help I can get.”

I don’t see it changing colors, it’s a basic medium blue that’s non metallic
It a beautiful shade that does not show dirt

My post doesn’t say it changes colors.
