Ambient Lighting wrong color?
 
I just picked up my F-150 this past Friday. I'm really loving it so far. Anyway, I'm not sure if something is wrong with my ambient lighting or not. When I select the darkest blue color, it turns into a real light purple. It looks nothing like the dark blue. All the other Ford's I've had along with my other current Ford vehicle with ambient lighting, the dark blue does turn to dark blue. Is everyone else's ambient lighting doing the same thing? It's kind of a bummer since that's my favorite ambient lighting color. Here is an image of the blue I'm talking about:

Same on my truck. its not a problem with the led strips, but the software. When I change it to the other light blue color, it turns to a really deep, dark blue color.

if you stare at those three little orb things for long enough, you can tell that they're three different shades of blue.

Hopefully Ford will eventually release a software update to fix it. I noticed that as well about the other blue. The turquoise and other colors are fine.

Same on mine.

Sometimes on mine, the driver's door will be red and everything else is blue (I have it set to blue). Not sure what's going on there.

Door lighting will be red when it's open or ajar.

Mine is the same as well. While it's odd, at least I could still get at the darker blue by selecting the lighter one. Should be a simple software fix.

This world is overflowing with "We-Shoulds". It's the predominant reason why nothing gets done. :eek:

Break out of the mold. And, since it's your idea, Create, Publish and Share the Google Docs spreadsheet that needs to exist to capture this info in a useful manner ( linear posting will NOT cut it ).

Once created, it will need ongoing maintenance. Again - yer idea - yer responsibility.

Now - Hop to it, make it happen, or .... well, you know, lol :thumbsup:
