To me hot pepper red is closer to what cyber orange should be. And cyber orange looks like school bus yellow.

YES EXACTLY!!!The ford ranger was Hot Pepper Red in 2019. You could maybe track down a used one and look at it or find a 2022 ranger on the lot and check it out. Cyber was my second choice as its pretty with the all the metal flake. Just not a great name.

I see someone else gets it. LOL! I briefly thought of a blue one, but been there done that.Yep!
I'm going from an Orange Subaru Crosstrek to a Ford Maverick... Orange has kinda become "my thing" over the years - orange TicTacs, orange Kickstart (energy drink), orange pens, orange shirts..
Unfortunately the 'Cyber Orange' is... indeed... school bus yellow. I haven't seen one in person (except for a Ford Ranger that had CO I think), but enough of the pictures have that yellowish tint that I decided to go for Hot Pepper Red. Still a bold color.
I briefly considered Carbonized Gray for a little more "low profile" but... meh.

Thank you!!We got our hot pepper red Maverick hybrid TODAY!
Here are a few photos that show its orange highlights, plus one that shows its red.
As an artist, I'd call it Vermillion.

Me too but have aera51 which is classy.I feel your pain. I started with Cyber Orange(schoolbus yellow). Went to the dealership to look at a vehicle with Cyber Orange, Velocity Blue, and Hot Pepper Red. I really was considering switching to Hot Pepper Red since it is a Reddish Orange and looks to be a beautiful color. The dealer only had Cyber Orange and Velocity Blue vehicles for comparison. Cyber Orange was just too Yellow. So I pick Velocity Blue which is very pretty! I am looking for a vehicle that can be easily spotted in a parking lot! lol!
What I would really love is a Velocity Green!

Depending on the lighting outside it can range from sunlit gold to school bus yellow. The triple coat metallic really gives it depth. I think of it in terms of Navy gold.I had a burnt orange truck—loved it as it stood out, wasn’t over the top nor blah and it certainly didn’t blend in. It also fit for a few of my favorite sport teams. Ford, of course, doesn’t have that color.
I currently have a Lariat with the cyber orange on order.
I’ve seen a new orangish colored Ford truck around town every so often. Is that the hot red pepper?
I really don’t want a RED vehicle and I’m second guessing the cyber orange. I’ve tried to see one at a dealership, but no luck. I’ve heard, for the Lariat, the color is more orange than red.
True/false? Ideas? Thoughts? Pictures?
Since, I had no real choice I chose the CO. There were 3 Mavericks to choose from but the CO had only 634 miles on it and it was pretty specked out. In 1974 I had an Orange Pinto station wagon that was real Orange. Hot Red Pepper would also have been one of my choices but it wasn’t a color the dealer had in stock. I was very lucky to get the CO Maverick. Mine is easy to spot in a parking lot!Yep!

It’s not a true yellow. What it is, depending on sunlight, is anywhere from school bus yellow/orange to golden yellow. The metal fleck is really beautiful up close. Very much Navy yellow/gold.Cyber Orange should have been called _______ Yellow.
Know the feeling.I love my cyber orange![]()
