This color makes me think of a cornflower blue with a grey tinted top coat. I wonder what paints Ford actually uses.

I think the metallic pain reflects the light and hence appears grey in sun - if they made this like Space white, non metallic, my guess is we might see more of the blue all the time.

I think you're right. Both of those colors have metallic clear coats rather than having metallic paint. I think that's what gives such different hues at times.

I appreciate all the people who have posted info on this forum as I felt like I already knew the cars so well when I arrived for the tour. I finally got to see the two So Cal Premium ones (Red/Gray Int and Infinite Blue/Black Int) in Carlsbad Monday. Sometimes the Regional Mangers brings the Star White one depending on demand (it was not there which was a bummer as I wanted to see it too). I know its been said a lot, but they are even more impressive in person. I have been more focused on color (I have Gray ordered right now). Both the Infinite Blue and Red are gorgeous. The Blue in particular has me considering a change. The color is so interesting and changes a lot as noted by others. Blue, gray, maybe a little silver and one time I also thought I saw a little purple (in a good way... note I am not great with colors). In case anyone else is looking for more color shots, I added them below including some close ups, but its just not the same as seeing it in person. A couple are similar to whoever shared the Carlsbad shots above. Also, loving the light interior but would also be very happy with the black as well. Overall back seat foot room and rear storage a little smaller than expected, but will work. Blind spot at pillar is there but wasn't as bad as I feared. Looking forward to this.
