I saw your response to a post on the Board My humble review of my Velocity Blue Maverick XL, and noticed your board name. You must be a distant cousin. Most of the Cheneys are related to the Chaney family through a man called John Richard Cheney (Chaney, Cheyney, etc.) who ceme to Virginia in the early 1600s and ultimately helped found Anne Arundel County in Maryland. His history is very interesting and the Cheney's are descendants of William Chaney, High Sheriff of England in the 1300s, Sir William de Chaney I (late 1200s) of the Shurland estate in Kent, Sir John De Caisneto (Chesney/Cheyne, late 1000s), of Quesney, Normandy, France, and Duke Hrolf (Rollo) Granger (800s), the first Duke of Normandy, a Northman raider or Viking with another descendent called William the Conqueror. Anyway all very interesting to me. If your are interested you can send me a message through my website https://www.hchaney.com.
It really is not Baby Blue. I follow a Bronco Sport to work and it is a whole lot darker than the pictures make it look. This time of year when it is cloudy it is more dark gray with a blue tint.
Let me know how it turns out! I placed an order for the Hybrid Lariat in Cactus Grey just last week. IMO that muted green with the desert brown looks really sharp!
Here's one of my favorite alto blue pictures.
I understand that hesitation, that's the reason why I went with it, I like the idea of the color changing based on the light, but if you just wanted a specific dark blue I can see how that would be frustrating.
There is more than color to the equation. There is WARM and COOL - ie. temperature. There is too much contrast between the warm tan and the cooler gray/blue. Harmony is lacking. It is a striking combo, but a single combo of a warm and cool gray or blue would be more quiet and harmonious (ie. the lower level trims). Gotta wonder who the designer of this scheme was.
Does the A51 have any metallic in it or is it just a solid color?Okay you bastards, you got me. This picture has haunted my dreams for days so I finally succumbed after talking it over with the wife.
Ironically I didn't like how grey it looked almost like water with ashes dumped into it to me on Ford's site and some pictures but I've seen the color once in person and some brighter photos make it look more baby blue. I prefer more blue than a51 but less blue than velocity and brighter than alto.
I think the Silver ford does looks amazing, I would have never picked that color but at the dealer they had a silver mav. It felt like it had some blue hues to it which really attracted me to the color. I definitely think the silver would look good with the lariat interior but I couldn't get how much I liked a51 + desert brown.
