Dirty Lava

This color will have to be kept spotless at all times to do it any justice. We can not see one clean out door shot.

The more I see it, the more I dislike it. I don't have the time to wash a car every three days anymore.

Wow... yeah, it looks like you're right, RedCandy. On the other hand, the light angle is very low in that picture which is exacerbating the problem.

I suspect that if it's sparkling clean and under direct sunlight, it will be a show stopper... otherwise, it's not doing it for me.

I have yet to see a color that makes the '10+ cars look bad though. It lends itself to a broad variety of colors.

The 'stay clean' factor on this colour is pretty much like black.

Its such a distinct colour, but its not for everyone.
I'd rock it....absolutely.

Can't say I'm digging it. Darker colored cars do take a lot more tlc.

All pictures so far are poor ones. If I have to go to a dealer myself to get a halfway decent pic, I will. It will take TLC, but it will also be both sporty and elegant. It will be worth the TLC.

If I were buying a 2012 GT I'd get this color.

That looks like it would be as hard to keep clean as Tuxedo black... and that's hard if you drive it. If I could have the day back when I bought the TB Taurus, first thing I'd do is get the Lincoln instead... and a platinum white one (or whatever they call that color nowadays).

I said that I would never own another black mustang because of the work it required, but if this Lava red is as nice as I think it will be, I'll take it even if it has to be kept clean. It will not be a daily driver and will be garage stored and never driven in bad weather.. Been waiting for a black cherry color mustang for a long time

Those are poor pics with a filthy car. Not a fair example. Interesting color for sure.

Is it just me or does the thread title "Dirty Lava" sound like a **** star from a fetish movie?

look towards the front of the car it has a purple tint. I've seen the car in almost every light condition. It can look purple in some light. Some like it, some don't.

Yeah I thought that too. I have also had people tell me that my Alloy car looks brown in some lights...
