And this whole time I thought Ford liked Ford Performance Blue the best.

No, Ford loves Liquid Blue more, at least on the Ford Performance vehicles. There is a version of that picture with the Focus RS in that same color. Was the color Ford used on the Focus RS announcement post and video as well.

Pictures of velocity blue do not do it justice. in person in good sunlight it is a great color.
Just remember "Lightening Blue" was the first and better blue Ranger. People need to get some color in their life. Too many black, white, silver, grey vehicles everywhere!
Lightning Blue in the sun. After lots of wax and showcar glaze. It's a little darker than Velocity Blue.

Jeez... middle of the work afternoon and I just spent 10 minutes in the garage. Admiring. Looking. Almost drooling. Inside. Under the hood. Underneath.

Oh man I have got it so bad for this truck.:inlove:

Don't confuse brand identity with which color is the best*. I love seeing their old logos.

Yes, we do. But for years those where the only colors available. It's great to see manufactures offering new colors. Before Eruption Green, when was the last time you saw a new green colored vehicle?
umm, Forged Green in 2022, also on the Ranger.

The last time I can remember a new green truck was my Dad's 1983 F150, and that was two-toned green similar to this. (Not sure if this is 1983)

Imagine a modern version of that on the Ranger using the darker Forged Green with the lighter Eruption Green. I think the hardest part would be a good transitional/border color between them.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
So....... yesterday was the first time my daughter and SIL have seen my new Ranger. For those that don't know, my SIL has a '21 Tremor in Cactus Gray. Nice looking truck. But I digress.

So anyway, as we were all admiring the blue beauty, my daughter proceeds to tell us how much she loves the blue and that it is "the best looking Ranger" she's seen. :clap::like: My SIL was not amused. :giggle:

Man I love that girl. So proud of her. Smart young lady. Smart.

Lemme guess you brainwashed her at a young age didn't ya? I bet instead of buying her everything in pink (girl colors) you bought them in blue. :facepalm: Poor girl never had a chance.:frown:
