I'm in disbelief that the flagship Code Orange is missing! No other color matches the Code Orange interior highlights.

Would probably have been my first if it weren’t a premium optionAgreed. But I think the azure would be my 2nd choice too.
So do I.I also want the shelter green on a Lariat. Will probably wait another year until some better colors arive.
I imagine it will work just like the tri coats do. When it’s overcast, dark, shaded, or dirty it will look one color. When it’s sunny and the truck is clean it will show it’s depth. In other words it will look brown 90% of the time unless you live in Southern California and wash your truck weekly. My Ruby Red Metallic Ex is the same way.Went with Iconic Silver due to the contrast and the code orange interior highlights. To me -and i haven't seen this in person - reminds me of baby sh*% brown.... Root beer is a good descriptor
Oh I love Ruby Red. In fact I was able to find a model paint manufacturer in Europe that clones Ford paint codes but scales the flake for model kits. It’s a true three stage kit and the plan was to build a die cast clone of my Ex for display. But the reality is that it looks like a pretty standard red until it’s washed and under the sun when it becomes a jewel. My original order was HPR but I decided that that it simply clashed too much. I didn’t want to be driving it and have the gloss code orange right in front of the hood in HPR. Plus there are certain angles inside the cabin where you actually will see the exterior paint in the door jambs and I just couldn’t deal. Changed to CGM because I’m now planning on doing some vinyl and powder coat accents on the exterior in a very loud neon yellow-green. Since Ford won’t give me what I want in a paint job I’ll have to figure it out for myself.but Ruby Red is awesome in all lights. Just ask an owner of a Rapid Red GT500 and an 03 Redfire Cobra..... Red rocks. Can't do HPR - too Orange for this guy.
My god that’s stunning.Agree with your assessment above! Had the exact same thoughts - orange accents vs. exterior color etc. I'll most likely keep it clean and won't mod the exterior except for lighting.
Here is the Shelby.
It’s the launch color so any of the preview videos from Ford, the hands on videos on YT of the launch event, and images from the car websites will have it.Twenty five posts and not one picture of the color in discussion? lol
