Default 2021 Colors

I don't remember a model year where the colors were so dynamic. For example, the antimatter blue can be almost black. The smoked quartz, is it blue, or gray? Case in point, here is my carbonized gray, which I know is lighter than my 2015 magnetic metallic. But in the sun...

In the sun


I think a person can't rely on printed media or single pictures to decide what color to go with. Seeing these beauties in person is a must.

True of just about anything with color, texture, patterns, etc...

Ever try floor shopping on-line? Then go see the real thing?

Yes, I love my antimatter blue... but in the shade it's almost black.

Dynamic?

Antimatter Blue isn't really blue, and Guard isn't really green. There's one actual blue color, two reds, and everything else is boring black and white movie stuff.

2021 might be Ford's worst year for color options going back to WWII. Color alone isn't enough to get me to not by a truck I want, but I hate it.

I like the color options Ford has for 2021. Mine is antimatter blue and I really like how the look changes in the light.

I also really liked the smoked quartz. Really need to see them in person to judge.

It would be great if the same colours where offered in Canada versus the States. There must be a reason for this, but the trucks coming to Canada still come from the US.

Blue Jeans was a nice looking colour. It would be nice if Ford offered some richer colours. Part of the reason I ordered Space White is because it is a Pearl paint, or at least I thought it was. Online searching wasn’t clear.

It was tough for me. I really liked the antimatter blue and smoked quartz. Neither color was on the lot in a Platinum. One was in an Explorer if I remember correctly and one was a King Ranch. I went with the carbonized gray since it was available and generally had what I wanted and they were very ready to deal.
I would really have preferred they kept the magnetic metallic but I do like the 21 colors otherwise.

I think the Ford colors suck and for those of us who hate chrome the options are even worse.

My brother and my 14 yr old son told me if I went with my original choice of leadfoot I’d tire of it since every car is going with those drab colors now

and after a recent ski trip to UT they’re right

every other truck is a battleship color with a lift kit and black fuel wheels

I’ll miss my stone blue all terrain sierra

One of the best colors ever on a truck

Why not guard with a sport pkg? Or a khaki color or antimatter or kodiak? Nope!.... gotta have the grandpa pensioner chrome package for those colors.

I found the antimatter blue in a platinum. Nabbed it up quickly. Love it.
