I'm wondering how Grabber Green would look on an S550. It might be a perfect compliment to GB.

Something like this:
Too funny because my last truck was in GoMango Orange. Similar to the photo above, but a little more yellow in the paint.
I'm kinda bummed they're getting rid of the GG and the CO. I think the Grabber Blue will sell well.

I second the motion that there should be a metallic copper. And a metallic green that's kind of dark, but not too dark, like the paint Ford offered on the original Taurus SHO. I look forward to seeing the 2017 in the White Platinum Metallic, that could be really nice. A little more choice of color for the interiors wouldn't be a bad thing.

I had to look up the sunset color. It has more of a reddish tint. I agree that color would not look good. The grabber green may be nice. I like a lot of the blues and greens and turquoise colors from the 60's.

I wonder why are they taking those colors away. To keep them rare or they did not sell well?

I had a copper colored hot wheels car when I was a kid and loved it. Not a big fan of white but after looking up the white platinum metallic I thinking it will look nice. I love emerald green. Kinda like this but maybe a little darker.

I never really cared for it. Not really a fan of that type of orange. I like burnt orange metallic colors (like your old truck) on some cars though.

Yes Lee, on my truck, it looked killer. I do miss that color.
I think that Dodge might be coming out with a similar color, GoMango Orange, for the Hellcat.

I'm loving it too. All this talking about it is making me want to go out right now and get one. I checked my dealer and OMG! They have one!! A GT premium! ! And it is an auto too!!

I think I should take Andy in for an oil change so I can check it out.

Dodge/Plymouth had the coolest colors in the 70's. I'm glad several of them carried over to the new generation Challengers at various times. I've always liked Citron Yella and especially Plum Crazy. I detest purple on any car except the Cuda or Challenger. It looks like Plum Crazy is back for 2016. I think it skipped some years.

I agree Tom. The old school colors were awesome.
PCP is back on the Hellcat and it looks KILLER!! If I were buying a Hellcat today,...I would be the PCP with Sepia interior. I wish they left the Sublime Green. I love that color on the Hellcat. NASTY!!!

I think it's a '69, Tony.

If I was ever inclined to walk away from the Blue Oval, I would consider a Sublime or PC Challenger. Don't see that happening, so I'll just enjoy Dodge eye candy from afar.

I love them all. As long as they look great, sound mean and are fast!

Mustang needs a proper dark metallic green, and I hope they're saving it for a future Bullitt.

But more importantly, forget this pearl white crap. Bring back Wimbledon White as a standard production color.
I had just the opposite experience. I like the Guard color in pictures but not in person.
Completely agree on a proper green for the Mustang.
