View Full Version : Favorite color for an Explorer aldive 07-08-2001, 01:09 PM There is a poll relating to LEAST favorite color for our trucks, how about what is your FAVORITE color? aldive 07-08-2001, 02:18 PM Does anyone know what the most popular colors are in sales volume of the Explorer? Perry 07-08-2001, 02:30 PM DUH!!! what do you think????? :p :D I don't want a color that every other Explorer you see is Stephen S 07-08-2001, 02:48 PM My favorites are the Wedgewood Blues (I think there are 2: medium and dark). I always loved those colors. But a close second is the dark metallic green (can't think of Ford's name for it) which is the color of my truck. :D JoeC5 07-08-2001, 06:47 PM Its not listed so I am going to say Spruce green. Its a fairly new color offered. espnfreak 07-08-2001, 09:47 PM BLACK!!! Paul Gagnon 07-09-2001, 01:27 AM Black of course!!! After that would be some sort of metallic forest or moss green. Rick 07-09-2001, 01:47 AM Orange... of course :D Jefe 07-09-2001, 12:10 PM Well, If I ever manage some body damage on my Torador Red truck, she'll get a nice coat of Ferrari red. :) leenjen 07-09-2001, 05:21 PM My favorite would be green, but it's not listed. dark green, not that ugly light green you see on some neons and beetleshttp://somershoe.com/images/smilies/puke.gif '96explorereddiebauer 07-09-2001, 09:20 PM I love my truck's color: Medium Willow Green w/Light Sadle. My ex always said it's pretty. leenjen 07-10-2001, 08:23 PM i like the color of monkey boy's XLT. but i dont think it would look nice on my 92. besides, my daytona is emerald green metallic, so i dont want two green cars in the driveway. i want to get a new paint job, but i'm undecided about the color. IgotTwo 07-11-2001, 01:05 AM like is says below: "stelth" color option-Willow Green Cause so many green ones are around in NJ, how could they know for sure it was you? It's like having a low radar profile. IgotTwo 07-11-2001, 01:10 AM "stelth" color option-Willow Green Cause so many green ones are around in NJ, how could they know for sure it was you? It's like having a low radar profile. Besides, I'm always driving, I rarely see the exterior of the car. Maybe the hood?. I worry more about the inside color. Thats what I have to put up with the most. Think about it. IgotTwo 07-11-2001, 01:12 AM must be an echo Frisckey1 07-11-2001, 10:09 AM something other than PURPLE!!!! than I would have to go with a metallic color. Luv how they shine when they are all waxed up! :) Brian8 07-11-2001, 10:26 AM My favorite is yellow. I don't see any yellow ones around here in connecticut. IgotTwo 07-11-2001, 10:43 AM Yellow is a rare one. You don't by any chance have an "ON DUTY" sign on the roof and something about $XX FOR THE FIRST 1/4 MILE" written on the side? You do a lot of those!! (just kidding) FitzMatt 07-17-2001, 05:39 AM I have a 2 tone. White on top and sparkly metallic blue on the bottom... Yomie 10-19-2001, 11:10 AM i'm kinda stuck on white for some reason, My X is white, my accord was white, my dads F-250 4X4 is white(i picked the color) my sis's Ni$$an 4X4 is white, i dunno, must be a family thing Campo 10-19-2001, 11:37 AM Mine's the color I've always wanted.... metallic deep wedgewood blue..:cool: rustytr 10-19-2001, 01:07 PM I'm not a big fan of red explorers. Red as in red not a deep red. I don't really have a favorite though. Mike 92 XLT 10-19-2001, 02:18 PM I always liked the dark metallic green with the Eddie Bauer tan on the early Explorers. But i like mine too: it's dark metallic red. peace Mike RTStork 10-19-2001, 09:16 PM My favorite would be a dark metallic blue. 2001ExpSport 10-19-2001, 11:16 PM How about Seafoam green! TarHeel085 10-19-2001, 11:52 PM HEY, dont hate on red explorers, mine looks tight in red, with the nice grey painted fender flares. look at Tom Wilks, same as mine, bright red, looks sweet too. 2001ExpSport 10-19-2001, 11:56 PM Nobody is hatin' on red man, red is cool yo! arsoul 10-20-2001, 12:21 AM When i eventually get my x painted, its going to be lime green. Dont ask why, I've just always wanted a lime green vehicle. 2001ExpSport 10-20-2001, 12:23 AM Originally posted by arsoul When i eventually get my x painted, its going to be lime green. Dont ask why, I've just always wanted a lime green vehicle. Why? RTStork 10-20-2001, 09:14 AM At least he didn't say he was going to paint it pink :D Perry 10-20-2001, 10:16 AM Originally posted by arsoul When i eventually get my x painted, its going to be lime green. Dont ask why, I've just always wanted a lime green vehicle. Hey it's better then white or black!! You have to have something that stands out when you are driving down the road. RTStork 10-20-2001, 10:37 AM Originally posted by Perry Hey it's better then white or black!! Hey, I resemble that remark! I'm white and my Explorer is black. :( 2001ExpSport 10-20-2001, 08:59 PM Originally posted by Perry Hey it's better then white or black!! You have to have something that stands out when you are driving down the road. Oh HELL no, you got something against black Perry?

I love the way the paint looks after I buff all the scratches out of it and put on a nice coat of wax. When I get my next X, (a 95-97) I want either black, red, or blue (although yellow sounds interesting, maybe if the new rig needs a paint job :D ) Digger196 03-24-2002, 11:05 AM Ya can't beat my Golden X!!:D :D I also like Rick's orange X. It makes a statement and it is a BAM color. mrit 04-02-2002, 11:34 PM My Bronco II is Burnt Orange/Reddish color and Tan FORDisKING 04-03-2002, 12:35 PM Mine, Dark Highland Green because highland Green is my favorite. It was only available on the Fairlane 500 from 67-69. But Steve McQueen made it popular in Bullitt. Jason TwoToneX 04-13-2002, 02:08 AM Pick just one? Not my style :D I'm gonna be putting a dark green/black two tone on it when I get it painted, so I'll go with those two... ahhjaws 05-07-2002, 11:48 PM Mine would be the light metallic blue, but I call it "unusually blue".:eek: madmike 05-08-2002, 12:20 AM Originally posted by ahhjaws Mine would be the light metallic blue, but I call it "unusually blue".:eek: I'll bet it's not as blue as mine is :D :D :D ahhjaws 05-08-2002, 12:24 AM How did you paint underneath your car? That's cool! My X is just like your except ALL you cool mods. Even your windsheild wipers:D . Where do you find those? madmike 05-08-2002, 12:30 AM well man , it's called many, many hours with a paint stripper disc and a wire wheel /drill, and a butt load of 311 blue metal flake paint from advance auto, oh ya and about a case of primer too, oh ya and clear coat, but i dont recomend doing this if you like to drive on gravel roads, mine is all shot to sh@t!!!!! i'm in the process of painting all of my suspension parts black, but good luck if you try it.:D :D :D :D ahhjaws 05-08-2002, 12:32 AM Maybe I will do it later. I still have to get my lift, axles, tires, and on and on....:confused: Have fun!! 93BLUEXLT 05-15-2002, 01:34 PM Yall know i love my blue X check it out if youve never seen it (the URL in my sig.) Rscotts1 05-26-2002, 12:57 PM Dark Highland green........It's a pain in the a*s to keep clean.....but well worth the trouble Flounder 05-27-2002, 04:59 PM I'm partial to 2 colors that I don't have... the first is a red-orange that Ford used in 1998 and maybe 1999... The other is the true orange that was used on some 01 Sports and SportTracs diablo5969 05-29-2002, 06:09 PM My favorite two are Fenderguy's grey and Madmike's blue bigbadfred 06-30-2002, 11:09 AM I have a white explorer and like it but you always have to keep it washed so, it stays clean but it is nice in the winter because you cant see the salt but it does get dirty real quick. It is much cooler than a black truck. I do like the grey color because it is a classy color and I always like grey. Just wish the limited Explorers come in grey. I think the newer ones might but the older ones didn't jasonb 07-07-2002, 08:34 PM medium wedgewood blue and the maroon color of the late explorers.. 410Fortune 07-08-2002, 12:13 PM How can you have a poll like this and not include FORD BLUE on the choices? Ford trucks are suppossed to be BLUE aren't they? Blue as blue gets.....Metallic blue, Ford blue, dark blue, just blue. Mine is Blue, couldnt imagine a Ford Bronco being any other color..... Here's a pic, oh and Mike's Ex is blue on top and underneath, looks perfect. My truck came out perfect after the paint! Of course it is a $2000 MAACO paint job so I will be re-doing it next year (4 years is it with the MAACO, they suck! I paid for stuff I didnt get, it started rusting after 3 months in one spot, and it peels away from all the trim) When I re-paint it it wll be, yup you guessed it , Ford Blue. http://www.geocities.com/410fortune/b2photos.html n2knee 08-06-2002, 07:32 PM my favorite color is Pacific Green, hence my truck's color. the picture doesn't really do justice to my truck. jobunn 08-06-2002, 08:05 PM I've always liked two tone explorers, especially with a little lift and aggressive tires. Like Jack Lobdell's. Silverblade 09-23-2002, 06:08 PM I wanna paint it Invisible...Stealth mode! haha ignore me I am excited. I love the look of the stock dark green on the 1st gens. Like mine. Defiantguy 10-13-2002, 09:21 PM black...definately.. Hopefully one day I can repaint my X when I have enough cash laying around. rayko 10-19-2002, 05:51 AM On a Sport, black is the only way to go. On the 4dr., a nice dark metallic rayko 10-19-2002, 05:56 AM >>Ford trucks are suppossed to be BLUE aren't they? Blue as blue gets.....Metallic blue, Ford blue, dark blue, just blue. Mine is Blue, couldnt imagine a Ford Bronco being any other color.....<< Back in the day, Ford engines used to be blue. Hence the name, Ford Blue. mahieber 10-19-2002, 08:33 PM Blue..Bright Blue Metallic.... Ford Blue..... With Herculiner in Black because the gray is too expensive...... My neighbor says I have a black and blue truck. Runnin'OnEmpty 11-14-2002, 03:25 PM I've always liked the medium wedgewood blue. The one I bought just happens to be that color (just lucked out). I go into the garage at night and stare at it. How long does it take for that feeling to wear off?:bounce: rayko 11-15-2002, 05:25 AM The giddy feeling ya get never wears off. Its a sign you really love what you're driving. ExplorerMike 11-23-2002, 10:12 PM Cayman green :D is the ford color of my 92 sport, or it could be two tone at the moment w/ primer.

But it makes me think of the '91 X I had that got totaled 3 days after I got it registered. It had black pearl paint. Looked purple when the light hit it. It was cherry. Still bums me out sometimes. :( sunbum 11-21-2003, 08:19 AM I like the Dark Green of the 96s like mine, but black is prob my 2nd choice. udmsvt 11-25-2003, 11:38 PM first car was plum (purple) .http://liberalarts.udmercy.edu/~merendbr/images/Duster/d7.JPG second car was toredor red http://liberalarts.udmercy.edu/~merendbr/images/contour/DRIVER_SIDE.JPG ex is caymen green escort is white http://liberalarts.udmercy.edu/~merendbr/images/escort/IMAG0002a.JPG if i EVER buy new, first choise is black, then metallic orage or yellow old mechanic 12-31-2003, 12:50 AM Na!

I like it anyway!!! :D cmmb1987 03-17-2004, 04:17 PM black is the way to go! 92xlt4x4 08-31-2004, 09:24 PM The green on the first gens is the best color i think. I never wanted a green vehicle and now i have one i love it. It's been garaged most of its life so it hasnt faded any. I have seen 3rd gens with worse paint than mine. rino351 10-03-2004, 09:54 AM I like my color of green, but sometimes I wish it was different Makahveli 11-20-2004, 01:20 AM mine is tan/gold color, not a metallic color, and many explorers out there are that color, I hate the first gen sports with the red stripe ans blue body yada yada yada 11-20-2004, 04:22 AM 1green on the 95-97 limiteds 2pearl white from the 96-97 limiteds and the green on the 99-01 limiteds. off-road97Xplor 11-20-2004, 08:27 AM BLACK!!! :thumbsup: I have a black 97 XLT and a nice glossy black is the best A Wise Guy 11-20-2004, 08:43 AM Red, this way I don't have to mess with clear tail lights or go through the trouble of clearing the brake light myself.
