I'm in the market for my first ever Bronco and I've been really struggling to decide on what color to get. For the last 10 years, I have had TWO daily driver in Dodge's Granite Crystal Metallic (I had a Dodge Challenger in this color, and then moved into a Ram 1500 in the same exact color). While it's a nice color, it's about a generic "gunmetal gray" as you can get, and I've definitely gotten bored of it after a decade.

I was really hoping to get a "fun" color for my next car, but Ford Motor Company is channeling their inner Henry Ford and offer you any color you want...so long as it is black gray!

Ford briefly announced Orange Fury was coming to the 2026 Bronco and I fell in love; I was set in stone that that was going to be the color I got! Was waiting for them to hit dealer lots...only for Ford to pull the color before it even hit the assembly line. So now I'm in an endless loop of trying to decide on a color from what might possibly be the worst color offering for the Bronco since its release. I find nothing striking, nothing that really pops out at me as looking spectacular on this car. It's effectively become a choice between the better of all evils.

I've tried asking friends and family for help, but none them are car enthusiast to really understand the dilemma. So I'm asking this sub for help!

I've created a survey Google Forms with all the colors that are available to me (I wanted to put a poll here, but I don't think the forum allows for that feature). In the form are the ten Ford Bronco color offerings currently available to me. A few caveats - the form includes 2026 colors, 2025 leftover colors currently sitting on lots within a 100 mile radius of me, and ONLY colors available on the Big Bend trim as that is where my budget is.

If you could take a moment a vote on which color offering you like the most, I'd really appreciate it. This decision has been almost as hard as when I had to pick a color to paint my classic car. Actually...I think more so, since there is such a limited color pallet to choose from. I'm of half a mind to just wrap the damn thing! 😭 😂

Anyway, thanks for listening to my indecisiveness - link to the Google Form below:

I know they don't offer Robin's Egg Blue anymore but I really like :)

Any color is as good as the rest. If you're doing a wrap, get black.

They need to bring back Hot Pepper Red, and add a Yellow. I also think Bronco would look great in a bright blue-green like the old Calypso Green on the Fox Mustangs or even the Gulfstream Aqua, Aztec Aqua & Acapulco Blue from the '69 Mach 1

I second that Race Red is the best color. If I got stuck with today's colors I'd go Ruby Red or Desert Sand.

I started looking within the last few days. So far, I'm thinking of getting an Outer Banks with a hard top and the Sasquatch package. Colors I'm considering in order:

Desert Sand
Avalanche Gray
Carbonized Gray

Really like Azure gray, but looks like none of them have that color any longer. One thing I like about Carbonized gray is it seems to be the closest match to the unpainted hard top. Though my current DD is dark gray and don't think I want such a dark color again.

Color should be your choice!
I never had green and selected Shelter Green.
Beautiful and color shifts from Green, Brown, Grey in different light.

How do you think I feel?! Y'all are just as indecisive as I am!
Good to see that gray is the number one choice. According to the chart above, the three shades of gray offered, garnered over 30% of all colours. It just goes to show, you can not beat gray!

Everyone keeps telling me to get black if I'm going to wrap it - what's the thought process behind that?

To be fair, those three grays also make up over 30% of the actual color options this year! 😂 😭
