I mean, I don’t need anyone else to know I’ve got a “big boy toy”, so I’ll stick with my Shadow Black, classic, refined but menacing look.

All kidding aside, I think that the pallet that Ford chose for this car will appeal to most people. Just wish that Ford’s paint formulation was more durable, it’s a magnet for rock chips.

They need a blue in the same style as the red.

If you like to wash the car every day...
Doesn’t rain in Chandler, like ever. Cali car duster twice a day. Boarders on worse than a car wash.

Ford really ruined the nostalgia and uniqueness of this color by letting it go on ANY trim. Now you have select peasants running around with grabber blue Mach-Es. It’s a real shame and I feel bad for the 2021 GT owners.
I'm one of those! :p

I picked GB as my second choice when the limit for a rebate was 55K, but when the price dropped I went back to my first choice, Rapid Red. No regrets, but GB is a nice color. I would have been happy with it. Enjoy!
I couldn't agree more with the choice of Rapid Red. But to me, they all look great!

...to all of you who mistakenly picked or were conned into buying any color Mach-E other than grabber blue, especially all of you with some shade of silver or grey.

My deepest apologies... I feel your pain.

The difference between those 2 pics is stark. That's one of the reasons I didn't choose the GB. It just changes so much based on the light. If it always looked like the 1st pic, I might have chosen it. But it often looks like the 2nd pic which I just don't like. Just too baby blue for me.

All metallic paints shift colors. Just the nature of the beast.

FWIW, I've never seen the car in the coloration his camera has applied to those 2 photos. It looks like the camera is confused about the blue and trying to lighten it (sky blue affects cams w/ such features).

Blue is one of the harder colors to photo due to cameras making adjustments. You really need a manual mode where the camera doesn't manipulate the blue like that. It's never been shown as a powder blue in person.

Thanks for all the positive and fun comments everyone! Of course I started this thread in a joking manner and I'm glad to see everyone having fun with it!:)

As far as the pictures are concerned the first photo was taken by my salesman shortly after purchase for the dealers FB page. He has an iPhone which are renowned for their cameras.

The second and third photos were taken by me when I got home and I have a Pixel 6 which has a good camera just not Apple good.

Me driving a Grabber Blue Mustang would look like a midlife crisis in progress. You can pry my Iconic Silver MME from my cold dead hands. :D
My thought exactly. I bet a poll of red, blue and orange MMEs would prove 90% in the 50s-60s age range. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but personally I'm not trying to add 15-25 years onto my age.

I don't really like Grabber Blue at all... It's my least favorite of the color choices. I like the orange and red, but a certain someone else is scared of colors, so I went with "gray" as a compromise. I actually like the darkness of it; don't regret the color choice.

But I'm glad there are a variety of colors, and that you like your choice! I'd hate for every one rolling off the line to be a bland white car. ?
