Default It's a gem of a color.

Morning all, I've decided on Green Gem as the main color for my new F150. It looks good on the "Build a Ford truck" website, but I have not been able to view it at either of my local dealers lots. Is it a flat green or a metallic mix?


Anyone here have any images of their F150 in Green Gem you could share and what do you think of it, now that you own it?


Thanks!

Metallic green in the sunlight and almost black in the shade. I saw one at the drive event in a two tone.

It has metal flakes.

But it is also one of the most rare colors.

It's not as green as the website makes it look. It can only pass for green up close in direct sunlight. Otherwise it just looks black.

You sure you're not referring to Guard because that is the exact description given for it?

Google it for plenty of Green Gem pics...and Guard pics. The colors are clearly dissimilar to my eye. The greatest confusion is often between Guard & Magnetic under show room lighting.
