Default 2015 new paint colors... 'Magnetic'?

I was browsing one of the Ford 2015 F150 teaser web sites (http://wwwdevmg.fordvehiclesfoc.ford...015/brochures/)

A bit ironic that one of the new paint colors for their aluminum body truck is called 'Magnetic'? Looks like it is the closest offering to the current Sterling Gray...

Appears to be darker. Are those the 20" xlt wheels? They are hideous.

I've seen the Magnetic color on a 2015 Mustang. Depending on the light source, it appears to be more reflective & richer that the Sterling Grey which I have on two current Ford vehicles. Unless I change my mind after seeing the color in natural light, it's my 1st choice for a purchase of the 2015 F150.

Does Ford typically reduce color choices with the higher trim lines? It's already hard enough finding an actual color other than black/white/gray/that other gray.

It depends on your definition of "higher trim lines"...for 2014, the Lariat is available in 11 colors, the King Ranch/Platinum in 7/6 colors, respectively.

When can a person start ordering the 15s?

Thanks, the King Ranch is what I'm looking at. One of the things I don't understand in this industry is why the more expensive vehicles have the least color choice. I'd say logically it should be the opposite.

King Ranches are meant to be white/adobe. Of course, I may be biased.

Did they keep Green Gem?

The Platinum/Limited trims always offer just a few color choices. They don't make/sell as many of them anyway...so why offer it in a dozen colors?

Yes, Ford.com still lists Green Gem as available for 2015, but not on all models.
