What’s Your Favorite 2026 Color Offering?

[Dry0atmeal]

In the wake of Orange Fury being cancelled for Job 2, I’m struggling to decide on a back up color for my order. Orange Fury was the only color I truly “wanted”, while I’m kind of indifferent to the other 2026 offerings. Was hoping for a pop of color, and all we got was Red, Blue, and every single shade of gray imaginable! I’ve had charcoal gray cars for nearly the last 10 years, and when I finally decided to switch to something colorful, most of my options are gray!

So, with the color offering being particularly poor this year, I figured I’d ask here to see what everyone else thought.

In a sea of (subjectively) bad options, what do you guys consider the “best” for 2026?

Personally: I’ve always had a soft spot for Nardo Grays, so I kind of like Avalanche Gray…but generally speaking, Avalanche Gray, Desert Sand, and Marsh Gray all kind of uninspiring to me.

I fell prey to the Orange Fury cancelation and was forced to change... I went back and forth between blue, red and, avalanche...finally choose red...of course not my first choice, but I wanted something not in a earth tone...

I don’t hate marsh gray as much as all the others offered but Velocity Blue is my favorite out of the choices…ford sucks at paint colors…

I really enjoy muted colors to really blend into the crowd and show my individual nature off. I enjoy looking over there can you see it, it blends into the sea of all the other boring colors out there. I just go bonkers over the muted colors.

Have you actually seen Marsh Gray? You might change your mind.

I actually did for the first time this past weekend. It definitely looks brown in person. I’ve bumped it up a notch on the list, but I was hoping for something lighter/brighter.

I'll place an order for a 7MT by the end of the calendar year but I'm still struggling with the color. I had resigned myself to Marsh Grey but never loved it. Now I'm leaning Desert Sand with a painted black top.

There's one at the dealership in town and I really like how it looks in person.

Maybe I'll wait to see what the '27 colors are.

When do they typically release the next MY colors?

Maybe I would wait. See if Ford does another special edition color or something.

I’m pretty much in this same boat. I just saw Marsh Gray and Desert Sand on the street over the last week or so and they both look good, but I wouldn’t call them exciting.

I liked the Ruby Red, My 2021 F-150 was Lava black with red high lights. I really liked it.. I am thinking about a sliver and black strip along the sides like my first bronco.

I have Ruby Red now ... The Azure Gray is nice ... but a Mocha Brown might be a nice addition.
Saw a Velociraptor in that color and it really caught my eye ... or maybe it was just the 500 hp and 550 ft/lb torque.

When do they typically release the next MY colors?

October 15th is generally when order banks open. But in typical fashion, Ford takes and gives colors throughout the year. Until you take delivery of the vehicle there’s always a chance they’ll discontinue it. Especially on low volume colors.

I'm going to be getting a Bronco in about a month. I was hoping to find a '25 Azure Gray, but doesn't look like there are any available with what I want. So likely getting a Desert Tan OBX.

I would also consider the green, but currently there aren't any available.

My favorite color is blue, the blue offered didn't appeal to me for some reason, I really like the Ruby Red, 2026 Badlands 7 speed manual, mostly stock.
