Default Cannot decide on the color

I am excited, ready to order a new truck, just one thing is holding me back... I can not commit to a color.

Here is is what I have committed to:
2018 Lariat SCrew
502A
Special Edition pkg
3.5 Ecoboost
6.5’ bed
Max tow, tow mirrors, power running boards, spray-in bed liner, tailgate step

I am pretty open to most colors, with a little variety. I currently drive a 2015 XLT in tuxedo black. Before this truck was a 2010 XLT in dark blue. A white Fusion and a red Focus preceded those trucks.
I am not a fan of the shadow black, and I want a change from black anyhow.
I am also considering how the graphics and wheels will look with whatever color I decide to go with.
I really like magma, it is just a little close to black for me. It is still in the running.
As of writing this, race red is the front runner. This is followed closely by white. Lead foot and magma are #3 & #4 respectively.

Because I am planning to keep this one for a little longer than I usually do, I am obsessing over the color choice. So, what are your thought and opinions, from ownership experiences to seeing them in the wild?

Race or lead foot. My current truck is lead foot and I love it.

White is hard to keep clean. I had to get mine clay barred every 6 months or so to remove all the spots. But it doesn't show scratches etc.

Pros and cons to all of them I guess.

Whatever color you choose, you will fall in love with, that’s just how it goes. I have magnetic now, but my 2012 F150 was silver and that would be my choice if I had one

My '07 I had before this truck was silver. You could hardly ever tell it was dirty and I rarely washed it. I wish I could have found my new truck in silver.

The only caveat to that is the bumpers/trim color. I much prefer the silver with black or color-matching paint versus the chrome. Same goes with the grill. If I was ordering one, it'd probably be this color...

When I ordered my 17, I wanted a color I had never had.
I liked Magnetic, but I thought it was too close to the SGM on my 14.
My trade-in was Vista Blue.
I've had black, white, & green.
I went with Race Red, couldn't be happier !!

Another vote for silver. Looks good and easy to maintain.

Have magnetic, and I like it, but it was my second choice.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Lariat Special Edition in Lightning Blue. Blue is my favorite color (although I haven't owned many blue vehicles, since it doesn't look good on a lot of them). I am also a die hard Chicago Cubs fan and the Lightning Blue with the SE stripes has the Cubs colors.
