I agonized over my choice for 9 months after the reservation placed at reveal. I became at peace when I could see it on other cars. Then came Cyber Orange on the GT. I no longer regret my color choice, I simply wish the options from Ford would stop changing.
I gotta be honest, I kinda love the cyber orange. I think I might get tired of it eventually...but it’s pretty awesome :)

This is why they have different colors @Liv. I’d cancel my order and never look at the MME again if my choices were CyberOrange, Grabber Blue or Rapid Red. I actually like the 587 shades of gray and white we have.

And those choices are why we can all be more or less happy with whichever flavor of Mach-e we choose.

btw, welcome aboard. :)

Hahah fair point! Fortunately it's a pretty gorgeous ride no matter the color!
Thank you!!

"Is it Carbonized Gray?” The driver smiled (after realizing I meant them no harm) and said “No it’s Magnetic Gray.”

After a quick search online I found that Magnetic gray is at least two shades darker (or more) than Carbonized Gray. WHY did Ford have to change a good thing???:eek:o_O
Here's Carbonized Gray next to Dark Matter Gray. Indoors, but it's all we've got for now.

I ended up picking the Infinite Blue. I didn't want another gray car, red and white don't suit me very week. As as black as my gothic soul is, the Mach-E black trim design would disappear.

If Dark Persian Green was offered, I would pick that in a heartbeat. Picture from the Escape.

This is happening as we speak in my garage my boys are wrapping a customer's car, not my choice of color but our MME will be wrapped. It both protects the paint underneath and allows me to play with colors and the price is right the kids labor ?

We were initially attracted by red, but when we saw it in real it wasn't the red we hoped for. The pictures and configurator makes it 'rapid' (race) red, in real it tends towards maroon. The line between red and maroon is thin, but in my opinion a Mustang should not be maroon.

I really like that color (copper is one of my favorite colors) do you happen to know the brand of film and what that color is called?

This is probably the route I will ultimately go. Gray with the addition of tint and stripes.

Do you do vinyl for the stripes?
Yes, they'll be vinyl. My friend had a shop in Gilroy put stripes on his 2013 Mustang GT. I'll find out who the shop was, they did a great job.

When you find out let me know! I'm in San Jose, so just a short drive.

Have any photos of the 2013 GT after stripes added?

The color choice has been my biggest challenge. I wish they would have produced more outdoor shots of all of them versus having to scour threads for months... and even then in person is really needed with paint like this. I ordered Gray, changed to IB after seeing IB. Saw red and liked it and the whites were always there too. I have no issue with shades of gray and like the bold colors too but not quite right for my situation. The good news is the car is really attractive and the paints are interesting. I never thought I'd go with blue. We'll see.
