Default Favourite Ford Colour

Guys,

Am trying to decide what colour to paint my xc ute. I am thinking Sherwood Green but pictures of recent rebulids with this colour don't come up how I remember so am a bit undecided. I want to stay with a Ford colour and would love to hear Forum users favourite Ford colour - with pictures of course! A good excuse to post more pictures of your vehicles if one was ever needed.

My favoruites so far: Sherwood Green and Antique Beige :

Sparkling Burgundy
Vibe
Ego
Seduce
Meteorite
Narooma Blue

I'nm a fan of the Ford Reds.

Loved my Monza XF and have had two utes in Venom - reckon Monza would be better suited toan XC than venom..

We had an XD fairnmont inIce Blue i think - that was a nice too.

I'd get some of the photoChop folk to do some mock ups

For the XC GS ute you cannot go past Pine N Lime or Flame Red with the correct blackouts.

Another for Seduce here, bit bias but who can say that the photo doesn't do the colour justice
