I am really disappointed with Ford holding back on cool bright colors for so many model years. The argument that "they don't sell" is total BS imo. If you don't offer it you don't sell it, it's as simple as that. And what if yellow makes for only 2 percent of total sales, so what? That is an average of 2000 very proud new owners every year who either would have been more satisfied with their car than now (because they couldn't get the color they wanted) or didn't become an owner in the first place because they ran off and bought a yellow Camaro or Hyundai. Your average coupe buyer is not as Mustang fanatical as us here, remember. They just want a sporty looking car.

I also fail to see why the color range needs to be limited to 10 or less. Cars are painted fully automated and colors are switched from car to car on the line anyway. There is no economical argument to not offer at least 25 colors. And even if there is, then just choose 10 general "safe" colors and offer 25 others at a premium.
This xInfinity+Bazillion and one

I LOVED Screaming Yellow. Was my all time favorite color. I'm so disapointed at the pathetic, and most often missing, attempts to have a Yellow in the pallet. I don't understand why they limit these things. Ford has one of the smallest color pallets of most all manufacturers, not just in the Mustang either. Why should the Fiesta get all the happy colors? I'm not afraid to own yellow at all. So long as it's actually YELLOW, and not some golden-orange-burned-puke pile they call Sunset Gold Amber Cowpie Tri-Blazed.

Not if you order at least 5, but more often at least 10 in the same color...

If that's the case order 10 or so, sell them at a premium and keep one for yourself.

I think this body style will look good with many of the colors from the new edge Mustangs.

At least the body style as I imagine it.

$2500 wouldn't get you much of a paint job. Custom paint is stupidly expensive, and horribly impractical for a mass manufactured vehicle.

Around the turn of the century Ford had a paint called Zinc Yellow. It was pretty nice because it set itself apart from the taxi-cab yellow that Chevrolet tends to use.

Zinc Yellow is disgusting. It's egg yolk yellow.

I wouldn't say "disgusting," but I do like Screaming Yellow better.

The popularity of satin or flat finishes in today's cars come about, I think, due to the boring nature of poorly applied metallics that had become the norm. Bring back nicely applied lacquer looking finishes as seen in the late 50's through to the early 70's without orange peel and I'd be happy. Why can't anyone do colour as nicely as Lamborghini?
