Sadly, that's the only blue currently offered on the Raptor, which makes no sense to me.....but I'm glad we have 5 shades of gray! [/sarcasm] Point taken...I call it bluack. It does look good in bright sun with a fresh wax job (which doesn't happen much for me unfortunately)! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks completely black until the sun hits it and then it’s a dark navy. Way too black for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRunrGuy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) My '23 Maverick was Alto Blue, I lived in fear of getting a dent or scratch on it, much happier with my '24 Atlas Blue. HRG Edited April 29 by HotRunrGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too black for me. Agreed - If I want a blue car, I want something that's actually blue, not "well if you squint upside down on the third Tuesday of every 4th month IF it's sunny, it's blue". It CAN be a neat color if you're going for that look, but I just hate it being the ONLY blue option for Raptor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Does black count since all of our vehicles are black😉 My vote would be leadfoot gray. If I didn’t get black I would get leadfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that color when it has that violet with hints of copper look. But in real world most pics and vids of it look black, or like this grayish copper. For a color with blue in the name, it almost never looks blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeluxeStang Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Ford had this unique shade called Ice storm back in the day, I believe it was exclusive to their EVs and hybrids. I'd love to see a color like that make a return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dequindre Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I was a fan of Guard (I think that is gone now). My LEAST favorite Ford (and Lincoln) color by far was Ginger Ale from about 10 years ago. It looked terrible on all of the vehicles it was used on (I remember the Taurus, MKS, and Escape in particular). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked fantastic with the white roof and chrome accents: It would vary between blue and silverish depending on lighting 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 My '11 Fiesta SES came with Monterey Grey which I thought was the best grey I ever saw. It was much better than the Magnetic Grey on my '17 Fusion Sport. My '14 Escape Titanium came with Tuxedo Black. It wasn't bad however, my '22 Edge ST in Agate Black is much better IMHO. I was disappointed with Ford Performance Blue in my '21 Edge ST. The novelty wore off because I prefer darker blues. Think TARDIS shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK..must be the camera- Mass DMV calls it "gray", I call it "dirty snow". But one thing for sure... it does NOT show dirt.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple Antimatter Raptors recently in bright sunlight and I didn't even realize they were Antimatter until I got right up on them. They need to add a true blue option back for '25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
