Anyone else think those wheels look more silver than current version?

Only two colors (antimatter blue and Rapid red) that aren’t some shade of grey. That’s a bummer.

Antimatter blue is really "almost black", so I would say that Rapid red is the only non grey color. And it is also the same dark red that every other red vehicle on the road has. Guess Ford just wants the Lightning to be boring and have given up making it exciting.

It is just the rendering, all of the colors are too bright as compared to reality. Adjust your screen so that the Antimatter blue looks black and it will be closer.

So glad I was able to order Atlas Blue. This ‘23 palette is dreary. Azure Gray is probably restricted like Smoked Quartz.

Avalanche Grey reminds me of cactus grey. That’s was my original pick for the Bronco. This is going to be my color for 2023.

And the Antimatter can be mistaken for black in the dark or the shade.

Yes, the Lightning color palette has been far too bold, we needed more grey options /s

50 shades of grey

Well atlas blue was my choice for my22. Guess I'll need to adjust that now. Also losing iced blue silver and smoked quartz huh

Oh no.

Atlas Blue was my choice.

Rapid Red with s the wife’s choice.

Guess the wife wins

I think iced blue silver is staying for 2023. Atlas Blue is a goner.

That'll make my Atlas Blue a collectible! Love it!

No bright blue, no buy. What a depressing color palette.

It's like Volvo colorways. Black, black metallic, white, silver (white unless it is parked next to white or covered in snow), blueish gray, blue, gray, maybe a red, sage green (greenish gray).

 

[Mr. Flibble]

No Eruption Green. Boo.

On a related note...anyone hear of any equipment changes(specifically switchover to Google Media System), or will the my23 a carryover from my22.
(Is google going to be on any my23 Ford vehicles?)

It would be perfect for an EV Truck.... Not sure why it wasn't added. The funny bit really, is that most of us looking to buy them are completely new to Ford. I would think they would be a bit more fast and loose with the colour options.

Hey, let’s not pick on Volvo! They can’t help it that they call beige gray. Yes, beige is Pebble Grey - and yes, “ I Love My Volvos!”

I joked withy Volvo sales guy about the colors last year. We have a denim blue and onyx black. He said that the colors are for old conservative people. Thunder gray is gray until you put it next to a denim blue with clear blue sky. Then it is also blue. Pebble gray is definitely beige, but a good beige (similar too stone gray). We love our volvos too (two).

It actually has the exact same color code as Cactus Grey. They talked about it on Long MacArthur Ford channel on YouTube.
