My favorite color ever, Zinc yellow. Absolutely stunning lighter brighter yellow. If the 05 came with a zinc yellow option, I would have chosen it in a heartbeat above redfire. What can we do to bring it back?

 

I agree that Zinc is gorgeous (see avatar).

Zinc or a color that is almost identical (perhaps identical with just a name change) will likely come back in a few years. When you look at previous years yellows they seem to cycle. Screaming yellow is very similar to the chrome yellow that was on the 99 and 00 stangs (then zinc was on the stang from 01 to 03 [actually zinc started as a spring edition in 00], now screaming from 04 to present). I wouldn't be surprised if a color like Zinc replaces Screaming in 07 or 08.

I also think that Screaming does look good on the current stang while I really didn't like the chrome yellow that was on the stang before zinc. And chrome and screaming are pretty close if not identical, so sometimes a color looks better on different cars or body styles, although I don't think Zinc would have that problem.

 

just in case anyone else likes yellow

http://www.yellowmustangregistry.com/

another friendly website and forums. Before I found TMS I went here for most of my mustang information and questions. They don't flame as much as other boards.

 

Seems to me the yellows swim around here and there...I'm partial to screaming yalla myself.
I like YMR Have not been there in months though.

 

It's no Emberglo.

/I strike again!!! Muahaha!!!

 

Emberglo is hooot.
But again, I am VERY partial to orange. I wish Eleanor was orange.

 

How bout Mellow Yellow?

 

Competition Orange is nice, if they had had that it would have been tough to choose. Still Zinc is deh win!! But part of the reason I got yellow was because yellow cars were so rare, little did I know I got it right at the time it was becoming quite popular

 

Me too! I didn't get red cause I thought everyone would get red.

Little did I know that yellow was the 05 color of choice around here second to black.
And not to mention all the yellow neons and SUVs and rumble bees rolling around.

If there would have been a comp. orange 05- it woulda been no contest.

 

Yeah, I think I'm into the whole "I don't want my car to look like everyone else's" thing. So if I had known how popular yellow was going to become, and competition Orange had been available, I likely would've gotten it. They also came out with Sonic Blue the next year... that also would've been a tough choice.

Brief History of Mustang Yellows

 

I thought I saw some official statistic from Ford recently, and yellow was near the bottom of the list as far as '05s already delivered. From what I recall, black was most popular, followed closely by red (both reds?) and silver. Anyone have a breakdown of the color percentages?

 

Down here in Mustang Alley;
I see the most blacks-2-3 unique ones per day.
then yellow-plethoras of yellows.
silvers
torch red..
Redfire

I have only seen one each of all the other colors.

Brad- do you have that info on amount produced yet?

 

Here is a breakdown of the production numbers for 2004. Other years are across the top of the page.

Yes, yellow is still not a huge numbers produced car, but its still too common for me, and April of course.

 

Some pictures of a 2001 Roush Stage 3 Mustang in ZINC YELLOW!! Bring it back, bring it back, I LOVE ZINC YELLOW!!

 

Looks just like my JRC! Cannot top a Yellow Mustang!!!

 

Zinc has that lighter almost fluorescent look that you can see in the Roush above. So beautiful. If I could get an 05 in zinc, oh how cool would that be
