 Show I had an Avalanche GT350, i would get compliments on it constantly. IMO, it is the perfect color gray and would get it in a heartbeat of ordering a new F150 today. The main difference between Avalanche and Space White is that Space, under certain lighting conditions, has an ever so slight bluish appearance to it. Avalanche has none of this under any lighting at all. it is a pure of a gray as you can get without getting dark like Dodge's Destroyer or Audi's Nardo, or BMW's Brooklyn, which also has a hue. Glad to see Ford brought it back after it only appeared on the GT350 and prev gen Raptor. 2023 colors

Looks like the 2 new colors for '23 xlt are Avalanche and area 51 and I could probably be satisfied with those. Saw the "heritage" news but was not that interested. Can someone provide good pictures of these 2 colors ? Sure wish they had a tan like Toyota, GM etc. Can't believe Ford still doesn't have a tan when it was there top selling color other than wht for decades.

Area 51 is available on Maverick and Bronco Sport. Avalanche is available on Ranger. You can google them and get lots of pictures.

Let me guess, you are a black paint guy? The Area 51 is quite popular for the Maverick and those pastel colors have been gaining a ton of popularity in general when offered. They wont reach the percentage take rate of white, silver and black but good on Ford for realizing that some people enjoy colors.

Area 51 itself is dull/bland/ugly all at the same time.

I knew a guy, big rugged biker type, who years ago spec�d out a heavy duty truck, don�t recall the brand. He had a wide selection of colors for the special order, and when the salesman showed him the list, he picked amethyst. That evening, he told his girlfriend �ordered the truck today.� she asked what color? �Amethyst� She said, �Amethyst? AMETHYST?? You ordered a purple truck??� He said �Purple? I thought amethyst was kind of a deep black?� I think he was too embarrassed to tell the salesguy he had screwed up and to try and change it. They drove that purple truck for many years. But I always wondered about the conversation after he left - �Did you see that big dude that was just in? He ordered a truck - in purple!�

What colors does the 2023 FList of 2023 Ford F-150 Exterior Colors. Agate Black.. Carbonized Gray.. Atlas Blue.. Iconic Silver.. Race Red.. Stone Gray.. Rapid Red.. Oxford White.. What color is Ford avalanche?Velocity Blue Metallic. Cactus Gray. Cyber Orange Metallic. Forged Green (new for 2022)
What will the 2023 f150 look like?New colors for the 2023 Ford F-150 include Area 51 Blue (from the Bronco and Maverick), Avalanche (from the Ranger special edition), Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. Colors axed for the year include Smoked Quartz Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Space White Metallic.
What colors does the new FF-150 colors for 2021 bring a bunch of pizzazz that can be used on most available trim levels of the pickup. Race Red, Quartz, Antimatter Blue, and Rapid Red give some flair for drivers. Meanwhile Kodiak Brown, Iconic Silver, Stone Gray, and Agate Black keep the F-150 restrained for those who want it.
