I had to have the LL or the red was a distant choice. The dealership had to drive 400 miles to get it for me. It was the end of the model year and there were very few left for sale.

Color will make a break a car for me! Some cars should not come in certain colors. I am so glad I was able to find a used Sterling Gray.

In my case,the interior color was more important than the exterior color. I have a fondness for Saddle interiors (getting into a black/dark interior car in FL in the summertime is no fun) And I love the contrast also. My '70 is also Saddle/Tan .

My wife isn't a big 'white' fan but I just love the look, especially when in cool places, like the Tail of the Dragon.

agreed. I'm normally not either but these newer mustangs made white grow on me. So many different things you can do with them and they look great any way you choose

I'm getting ready to repaint my '69 Mach 1 and I'm thinking of going with a new Ford factory color rather than the original to make it easier to get touch-up paint for small chips down the road and I can get it in a spray can so I can do the door jams and other small bolt on parts such as the grill area myself so I can save money at the paint shop.

Color was/is very important. I had wanted a Grabber Blue Mustang since I was 17 years old and saw it on the first '70 Boss 302 I laid eyes on. Once familial obligations (kids through college, retired) were out of the way I went looking. I did have some no-no colors (sorry, GHIG) but I had had a lifetime of silver and white cars. Black-no, I live in an area with regular 95-100 degree days. It was down to the two reds, Deep Impact Blue, and Grabber Blue with Ingot Silver last. Dealer search popped this one up and the search was over. The good: constant compliments on the car (men) and the color (women). The bad: its the only GB car in the area except for an ancient Maverick at a dope grower's house but he never takes it out. So, I've got to restrain myself on the back roads as its the only GB car in the area and the cops may know just where to go if I get a complaint.

Good idea...the newer colors are good. Unless you could get that very old color of Candy Apple Red

For me, it was the most important part of the deal. I knew about the Azure blue Mach 1's from when they came out and seen pics, etc. but I had never seen one in person. It was in our local Ford dealers showroom and was told about it when we were test driving a full size used SUV. Once I saw it in person, I had to have it.
My favorite color of the current model is grabber blue. But, I would have to consider deep impact blue as well before signing on the dotted line. If they come out with one like the 03-04 competition orange for the 2015+, that would be in the running too.

Agree with the others, its a big deal! I almost didnt even buy the car because i couldnt find sterling gray metallic. The only options for the exact car i wanted were deep impact blue or white. Had seen them before but never thought about it cause i was so focused on the SGM. But i ended up giving it a shot anyway and told myself if the deal was close enough to what i wanted, id get the car. I figured with white i could contrast by adding a lot of black(tint windows, stripes, rims, etc). But hated the interior color(stone i think, dont remember but it was a brighter color, but i like dark colors).
So i thought more about the blue.. And it grew on me very very quickly. So i got it. No regrets, now DIB is just as good as the SGM to me. I kinda like it a liiittle bit more too, cause lots of cars are grayish colors, but not too many as blue as DIB. Stands out, but not too much, which is perfect for me. Though every time i see SGM in person, i instantly fall in love with it again, especially when combined with a black contrast.. And for that matter black is freakin awesome too! Imo DIB, SGM, and black, best colors
Color is definitely a big deal
