Does that look like CHESTNUT to anyone else? Me neither...

Funny thing, that's off of FORD'S WEBSITE!

THIS is chestnut... see sig below.

 

Yeah, a lot of the stuff on Ford's website doesn't look like the actual color. I think it's because all the colors are "painted" on by computer. If you look at the brochure colors they are a closer match to the pictures on the website.

 

Very good point vipergrendal. Computer generated never matches up very well with the 'real thing'.

Honestly, I kind of like that color that is shown. It's more of a burnt orange color and is pretty unique.

Oh well...

It was a slow day on the boards so I thought I'd crank a new topic out.

Did I hear someone say, CHESTNUT?

That aint chestnut, this is chestnut...

~DM~

 

I seriously like that color... it reminds me of an explorer color that they put out in 98 or 99... that explorer color was a tad too 'orange' though...

That color is more along a rust or burnt orange and really looks good with the arizona beige accent. Just my opinion but, I really really really like it.

I saw that color at the Ford dealer this afternoon on a scab. It is more orange than red. Not very impressive in real life.

 

You saw that color? I don't think that color exists unless someone had a truck painted that color. I've seen a similar color on exploders and rangers but never on a full-size.

The color shown above is what Ford's website calls 'Chestnut Brown'; and, as you can see, we have a bunch of Chestnut Brown trucks here on display and none of them are actually that color...

I still like the color shown though. Very different yet eye appealing.

I have seen it on Super duties, but I can't recall if I've ever seen it on the F150's.

 

Chestnut Clearcoat Metallic is what Ford has listed for the color of your truck.

These images off of Ford's website (not FordDirect) seem to be more accurate.
