Thanks, it was done with a LG V30 which was designed for photography and high quality audio. I did have to take the display 'normal' mode, off and change to picture mode because it made the reds glow and shift really bad. The picture mode was very accurate, probably more accurate than my PC monitor.

NOT necessarily. I was on the fence on getting those F150 raised tailgate letters until I found the flag ones myself.

You forgot Magma Red.
There is a guy at my VFW that has a SCrew STX like my 2019, might be a 2018. Mine's Race Red (not rapid red), his is velocity (I think) Blue. I'm not strong on blue vehicles but that also looks sharp.
I notice my picture does appear a little more orange than in real life. The Race Red positively GLOWS in strong direct sunlight. I have a cousin in Utah that has a GMC in the same color and that was when I decided I liked it. It was not my first choice, probably third. I love that platinum white metallic pearl and the deep green metallic. But I bought quickly and off the lot.

Since new owners took over the dealership, I havent seen a magma red on their lot.

Besides its not really close to any color other than black and thats only when the sun isn't shining. We've had a magma red truck in our lot at work, the guys and I thought it was black until one day we had to walk past it and you could see brownish red barely coming out at certain angles. It's not like Florida around here in these months, you only get a few days where the sun is shining with no overcast.

Yeh, the race red with some cameras can tilt it toward orange, also some cameras can make ruby red more red than it shows in person.

I'm not a fan of green but white can look good when mixed with black.

My first choice would had been velocity blue but I've had 2 trucks in Blue Flame already and wanted something different this go around.

When I saw the Race Red, I was like what a great sporty color for the Sport Package. It looked very eye catching. They had a Iconic Silver with the chrome package but it sold before I got there and it wasn't quite optioned the way I wanted. I would had considered Iconic Silver for sure.

I’m definitely a fan of the blues. Had a 2015 Blue Flame and currently have a 2018 Lightning Blue.

This is my blue flame and I love how blue accents the black and sporty look.
