Calypso Green on 2010+?

What do you guys think? I was on the freeway today and next to me was a LX Hatch 5.0 in Calypso Green (one of my favorite colors of that era) and right behind it was a Race Red 2011 V6 Premium (rental, you can tell by the bar code in the 1/4 window) with Stone interior.

So then my mind started racing and I imagined Calypso Green on the new body. I think it would look pretty sharp! I'd love it with the Glass Roof, 401A Black/Cashmere interior and Brembo Pkg. Maybe redo the Brembo Pkg wheels in black chrome. I think it would look really good with the 400A Stone interior too, although I don't think Saddle would work.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but what do you guys think? Bring back the Calypso Green 5.0?!?

Wouldn't be to bad. I'm still hoping for Competition Orange.

I think leaving it back on that car is best. If they're going to do it, tweak the color a bit for something fresh.

Haha I was wondering what you would think. Eh, I think it would be a nice refreshing color. To each his own, and I'm sure Ford won't be offering it anyways!

I don't think it'd be for me. I'd much rather see Atlantic Green or some other dark green made available...

I love Atlantis Green and other dark greens. I also like Black Pearl Slate, available on the Escape and some Lincolns. Personally I don't see anything wrong with extra choices! I'd love if someone could chop it; I'm not too good with color changes...

Cuz I'm a square and am bored on a Friday night haha

Started with this:




Then added some color!














I don't know guys, IMO I think these would all look pretty sharp on the new body style!

Just for the hell of it, and to get some PS practice in, attempts at Pearl White and Yellow Blaze:

OK getting carried away now. Did a Matte Red and a variation of Molly Pop (Saleen color, Steve's daughter Molly had a custom color like this, but more magenta-ish):








OK, I'm done for the night !

No love for the chops? Haha maybe I should start a color chop thread and get some more practice. I miss PS!

I think they all look great man. Nice job. Hey can you do that silver one with body colored rockers and diaper? And with and without body colored mutton chops?

Nice work with the colors! That pearl white would be #1 on my list.

I'm still saying white pearl, Tuxedo black, and Atlantis green need to be options for 2012. I'd like to see Comp. Orange, but I don't know if it'll fit the body or not.

I agree! The more the merrier. In post #8, I think I like the last two the best.

Haha idk if I'm that good but I'll give it a try. And I'll give Emberglo a shot too!
