Cactus grey is nice. The green metallic color is a dark bronze with a green tint. It looks pretty dark. I watched a you tuber reviewing the new raptor and it was in the green metallic. I think it looks awesome

I would go with the "green" (looks more bronze to me - would have to see it in person as well) simply because it's bound to be a less frequently seen color. Plus, metallics always look better than the flat colors.

I just keep thinking of how difficult/expensive it would be in the case of adding fiberglass fenders/bedsides. My buddy was inquiring on getting his f150 paint matches if he got fenders and bedsides and was quoted 4k to match his grey/green color. I paid 2k for mine. Just a remark.

That's just me I love me some wide-bodies.

I went with shelter green on my order. I want to see what a bronze or dark earth color wheels will look like on it.

I want to keep my charcoal gray RTR wheels I have now and transfer them over, but kind of a little hesitant on the colors together.

The raptor comes with "gray" wheels, but they appear much darker than my "charcoal gray" RTR wheels.

Not sure if I am sold on the idea yet, Google is only going to get other trucks with the combo and Toyota's green is much brighter than the shelter green.

Here is a green bronco with charcoal gray RTR wheels, but again, the green is different.

Funny how makers come out with similar colors. Chevy has the Harvest Bronze Metallic which looks close to Shelter Green. Saw one on the lot on my way home. I also saw a Jeep that was close to Cactus Gray.

Yea well I wish Ford would have followed suite. The Colorado has such a wide range of covers. I kind of was secretly wishing I could get a Raptor in banana yellow.

All of Ford's colors are so drab and they didn't offer code orange which is a big wtf.

Shelter Green reminds me of a BMW color, Manhattan Green. I saw this color on the road the other day and it is AMAZING. I would definitely go for Shelter.

It seems like 90% of the F150 Raptors i see on the road are black, so maybe that‘s Fords expectations for the RR.

I like Shelter Green Metallic, but I may be biased. :cool: It looks similar to "Black Jade" as Ford called it in '69. Same color was called Dark Metallic Green in '70. The light really makes a difference on these tones.

Wow, that is nice! Brings back so many great memories.

I'm a Cactus gray fan and I've probably had more comments on the color of it over any other car I've had. I also have never like the color green on a car.
