Where and when was this taken? What do we think white experts, Space or Star?

Star White... not space white.
So what color is the one in the video? Star White or Space White? My thinking since I can't see the comparison anywhere it's not worth $500 more for a color.

I was responding to the video. That is star white.
Sorry if it sounded like I was casting a vote for preference of one over the other. I was only identifying the one in the video.

Thank you. I like the Star White, I just don't know if it's worth the extra money for paint. I'd still like a comparison sitting side by side OUTSIDE not under the Ford blue lights.

Here's someone's video from the same show.

Has anyone noticed the headline flickers (0:49+)??? Hope its due to being in some "demo" mode. It would bother me if it flickers like that.

That's just what LED lights look like when they're recorded.

Correct. Just google "why do LEDs flicker on camera?" You'll find lots of articles, YouTube videos, etc. Here's one:
Most LEDs flicker, you just don't see it. It's basically the same as the way movies work, how cathode ray tubes work (but not new LED screens), and many other lights. When you use a video recording, your frame rates can conflict.

I'm super torn between space white and red metallic.

I know those two colors severely contrast but I'm a nut. ?

I'm concerned about the red metallic looking good over time. Seems like a light scratch/swirl magnet.

I like the almost clay/primer look of the space white. Plus it would stay cooler and I don't think it would show paint flaws nearly as badly. Decisions decisions. I only have a week to decide!

Red is going to be a very common color for this car. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That's true but I also wonder if Red will be one of the first Premium's off the line because it's going to be such a large chunk of production. Hard to say.

I don't think it matters. Any assembly line video I've seen has all the colors intermixed.

I don't know of any auto manufacturing that batches by color.
The only time I saw batches by color was on a visit in the 90s to the Plymouth Prowler factory. Saw a big room full of about 40 only yellow Prowlers.

When I toured the Rouge plant last year they were making all different color F-150s at the same time.
