which is the best blue on the maverick.

comments on why you think your choice is best please as I would love your opinion.

thanks to the voters so far, Atlas. BLue 2 to 1 on Area 51…. Keep them coming.. ford blues are some of the best colors of any company in my opinion.

most of the comments are for Atlas, but the vote is now closing the gap, speak up 51ers..

Because I added the Alto as a color a few days late, I don’t see that it counts in the vote percentage, I didn’t give it a fair chance. It may have worked as a bit of a spoiler, but don’t think it distorted percentages much.. I am surprised by how close the vote is though. I woul be very intrigued if age played into it. I will admit, I’m enjoying all your comments and feedback. .. we all agree, great colors. Well done ford, And voters keep up the good work.. comments please…

Atlas blue for me. It reminds me of the blue on my old ranger, so I guess it's more nostalgic. I blacked out the wheels on that truck so I'm going with black appearance package..... I really liked that truck.

My first choice for my 22 was velocity blue. So if I were to have a choice this year it would be Atlas blue. Reminds me of my 16 Escape.

Atlas. I do not like this trend towards pastel colors like Area 51
I will admit, pastels don’t tickle my taste either, but wanted other opinions to see if I was blinkered. Thanks..

I can see that. The bronco has less visible paint and more “stuff” to break up the color, so I can see 51 on the bronco.. thanks.

Sounds to me like you have made up your mind. That said, I think area 51 might be the ugliest color I have seen on a vehicle. I cannot stand the look.

I agree. To even call it an actual color seems to be a bit of a stretch to me. It seems to be another shade of gray with a bit of a tint to it.

Paint chipping seems to be a potential problem on the Maverick and I would also think that a non-metallic paint would tend to show chips a lot more.

One advantage of atlas blue is that you stand a better chance to be able to find your car in a large parking lot which seems to be almost all gray-scale cars now. I think I read that something like 80% of new cars are somewhere on the gray scale.
