I am having a really hard time trying to decide what color to go with. I ordered a XL in Cactus grey but the more I look at Atlas blue F150s & Explorers I end up really liking the color

I can't decide!!

Strangely, I have the exact same issue with color choices. I’m leaning toward the atlas blue now, but I also have my order in as the cactus gray.

I had Alto Blue for my original 22 builds and then changed them to Area 51 and Catcus Gray after seeing them. The Cactus Gray one is being built soon, but I am definitely thinking of changing the Area 51 to Atlas Blue. VB was too bright, but Atlas isn't as dark as Alto which I like.

Atlas is an awesome color. People crap on Cyber Orange, but I actually think Velocity Blue was the worst color. It was what I like to call "cheap car blue".

Blue, the gray already looks faded by sun exposure and will only look worse in years to come, especially as cheap under protective coating would not keep rust from bleeding through in a decade.

I would go Cyber Orange, but 99% sure I'm going XL now, so Atlas blue it is. It's a really nice blue.

Atlas Blue

I’ve seen it on an Edge, looks great. That is what I was going to get, was going replace my Fusion with an Edge, until the Maverick came out.

Cactus Grey is more white than, grey to me.

Then again, blue is my favorite color and all I get on my cars 😄
Wife likes blacks and greys, she does not like Cactus Grey.

Thanks for the pictures. I also didn't realize Atlas Blue was used on the other 22 Fords. It doesn't look as dark as I was afraid it was. I may be changing my mind.

Velocity blue was a light blue, and 2022 only. Look at the Atlas blue in my post above. This is the replacement, and to me a much nicer color.

That would be Velocity Blue, not Atlas Blue unless you manipulated the colors somehow.
That is actually Atlas. Velocity is much brighter. These have been out for a while, and official Ford Photos. Here is Velocity Blue for comparison. It's a couple shades lighter.

Alto blue is the really dark (almost black) blue. Atlas is a really nice shade.
