It does!

I hate that Ford discontinued the single best bronco color we've had yet.

Would have absolutely loved a Rapid Red heritage edition.

I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and it's been a slow week, so I decided to fire up my rendering software and put together a list of predictions for the 2024 paint palette. These predictions are based on several different factors including colors confirmed by Ford, colors shared with the Ranger, likely carryovers from 2023, leaks and testing pictures, Mustang S650 colors, and finally my own conjecture. I've ranked this list from most to least likely based on all the information we currently have on hand, and I've rendered out colors we've not yet seen on the Bronco based on color codes and existing images to try and get as close as possible to the real world paint colors.

CONFIRMED COLORS:
Peak Blue Metallic

The information from Ford slates Peak Blue Metallic as the Heritage Limited's exclusive color for the first half of 2024. I don't have a 3D model on hand for the Heritage Edition but this color-matched Wildtrak should provide a close approximation.

RANGER COLORS:
Oxford White

Thanks to the Ranger's prevalence as a fleet truck, and the use of neutral white paint thereon, I would say there's pretty much a 0% chance of white not occupying a paint booth at MAP, and thus Oxford White will almost certainly be a constant every year.

Shadow Black

Another fleet truck favorite, removing black from the Ranger's color palette would similarly be unheard of, and I imagine it will remain indefinitely as well.

Iconic Silver

While not as prevalent on fleet vehicles as flat white or black, silver has never not been a color option for Ford pickups and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Carbonized Grey Metallic

Gunmetal grey has become as much of a staple to trucks and SUVs as silver has, and the popularity of this color on both Broncos and Rangers, along with its confirmed availability for the 2024 Mustang leads me to believe it's probably not going anywhere, though it's possible this could be replaced with Leadfoot Grey given the similarity in their hues.

LIKELY CARRYOVERS
Azure Grey Metallic

We've seen glimpses of Azure Grey Metallic in spyshots, but here it is replicated and fully rendered out. Being that it debuted just this year, I'm almost certain Ford will give it at least another year in rotation for 2024, and I suspect that it may replace Area 51 given the similarity in their hues.

Code Orange

Again, having debuted just this year and Ford's trademark exclusive color for the Raptor means Code Orange is very likely to stay as a part-time resident in MAP's paint booths for 2024.

Race Red

I can say with some confidence that Race Red is nowhere near the most popular Bronco color, but it's useful to Ford in that it can double as a retro color on the Heritage Edition. It's also being used on the 2023 F-150 and has been confirmed for the 2024 Mustang. Economies of scale lead me to believe that it's unlikely Ford would replace it for the Bronco.

Eruption Green Metallic

Maybe I'm biased, but Eruption Green is one of the finest colors for the Bronco, and it's probably the most popular non-grey color that I personally see on the roads. Given that it's also one of the newer colors, debuted just last year, and that Ford didn't include it as an option on the Heritage Edition despite proclaiming it as a spiritual successor to the classic Mallard Green leads me to believe this color has at least another year on the roster.

Cactus Grey

I have no evidence for Cactus Grey's inclusion beyond its own popularity, I place it at the end of this list because it is no longer being offered on the Mustang, which weakens the case for its inclusion on just the Bronco/Ranger. Additionally, like Carbonized Grey Metallic, it's liable to be replaced with Leadfoot as the signature flat-grey color.

LEAKS
Leadfoot Grey

Leaked from a touch-up paint site before being spotted on a test mule, I believe Leadfoot Grey will almost certainly be available on the Bronco for 2024, though the specifics are still up in the air. It may be a wide-release color to replace Cactus Grey and or Carbonized Grey Metallic, or it may replace Terrain as the Everglade's exclusive color.

Atlas Blue Metallic

Leaked previously from several paint touch-up sites, Atlas Blue Metallic's inclusion on the 2023 F-150 and 2024 Mustang make it a likely replacement for Velocity Blue.

MUSTANG S650 COLORS
Splash Yellow

A likely contender to replace Cyber Orange based on its inclusion on the Mustang, this is a more solid metallic yellow compared to Yellowstone's pale yellow and Cyber Orange's darker goldenrod.

Grabber Blue

I've seen a lot of demand for Grabber Blue on the Bronco, and I think its availability on the Mustang and Mach-E are promising for its inclusion on the Bronco as well, especially as an alternative to the much darker Atlas Blue Metallic, similar to Velocity Blue vs Antimatter Blue.

PURE CONJECTURE
Sage Green

Assuming Ford continues the trend of alloting two exclusive colors to the Heritage Limited Edition, I think a likely candidate for the second half of 2024 after Peak Blue Metallic's run is Sage Green, a slightly darker successor to the popular Boxwood Green. Its popularity as a request, along with it looking somewhat out of place on the rest of Ford's more modern lineup, lead me to think something like this could be the next exclusive color for the Heritage Limited.

This list is my best guess for what we'll see in 2024, however new information is always coming to light, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong for the sake of a more accurate list if there's anything I'm unaware of.

Stellar renderings! My Eruption Green OBX SAS is in production as I type this. I’d been jonesing for the white top since day 1, but finally threw in the towel and ordered it with the soft top. Would love to see a rendering of an Eruption Green with a white top. I don’t think it’ll look great, but I am curious. I’m getting a 4DR, but a 2DR rendering will still give me an idea of the look and the contrast.

I love that yellow. Grabber blue a good second.

I just really want a yellow not locked behind a special edition. It would be worth it to upgrade to the new MY for me if a yellow was unveiled

You had your shot at Cyber yellow. Now I want a proper orange! A proper orange Braptor without a Blue interior (repurpose the Badlands with some Alcantera) is the only way that ford gets me back in a dealership in the next decade. Oh availability of course as well!!!

 

[AKBronc49]

Also Velocity Blue is far superior to Atlas Blue, I wish Ford was keeping VB instead of replacing it

I could not agree more. Here's a comparison.

 

[Cyber2D]

My dealer said *drink* that a purple was 100% locked in for 2024.

 

[TopRecon]

Now that a 2024 Ranger Raptor has been spotted in Eruption Green that should confirm it is a Bronco color for 2024 as well. They don't really paint even the test mules with colors they won't come in, would just use camo to hide it (Ala Heritage and its Robin's Egg Blue).

Safe to say Cactus Grey will remain as well for 2024 based on this.

 

[Rspayde]

Give me Saber back damnit.

Thought Cactus was already confirmed for next year anyway?

Just too bad its a melty crayon shade of mushroom. The color could be something, instead its a bit of too many things and bleh.

Give me Saber back damnit.

You and 12 other people would rejoice. Yikes that was an awful launch color for Ranger. Just because something is rare, doesn't mean it's valuable.

Also.... I can't resist.....

"SABER!" It began with a bloody "S".

 

[Rspayde]

Blasphemy. The dealership took it back and sold it quick. I think it was an underrated color but I also defended it for three years before going to CO.

 

[indio22]

I could not agree more. Here's a comparison.

Agreed hands down VB is the best color offered (which is why Ford will get rid of it).

(Also Ford could use a shade of red that doesn't burn the retinas.)

 

[TopRecon]

I think the only color officially confirmed for 2024 is Peak Blue Metallic, a few more we can safely presume, but being that Cactus Grey is three years old now and gone on the Mustang for 2024, I thought this may have been the last year for it as well, but it looks like it'll carry over, which doesn't surprise me given how popular it is, though personally I'd be pleased to see it replaced with something a little more colorful.

When in Moab in '21 for some wheeling the melty crayon colors are all the rage.

Cactus Gray is now so ubiquitous it can be found on Corollas, civics and the like. But in Moab it was as if anyone who was anyone (trying to display their huge gonads) had a melty crayon, boring ass mushroom/tan rig. Must have been over 75% of any rig less than ~5 years old was essentially mushroom/tan.

It's cool though, seldom do paint colors or styles define a decade.

Example: bet you can't even guess what decade these cars are from just by its color:

Juuuuuuuuust saying, Cactus Gray will be just like ^^^ in hindsight. (Area 51 and Area 52 will probably also get lumped in here as well)

I agree. I believe Area 51, Cactus Gray, and other melty crayon colors will be tied to a generation of vehicles. Most of us will have our Broncos by the time MY23 is over. I hope the Materials and Colors team at Ford gets it together, but at the same time I hope they don't so I don't miss out on a real color.
