Hi, Im new to the nation. I ordered a 2022 Badlands 4 door, sasquatch, mic top with the lux and tow package. I am willing to wait and I'm prepared to do so. My only regret is that it wont be in the "ANTIMATTER BLUE". This was on the first Bronco I saw and knew I had to have it. Of course Ford took that color away but they still use it on the F150 and the Ranger(my dealer told me) is there any phone # to contact Ford or the Bronco division(to call on a daily basis) to pester Ford into bringing back my favorite color? I ordered the Hot Pepper Red Metallic, its ok just really want to bring back the Anti Matter Blue. Thanks

It’s a great color! Don’t think Rangers have it (at least not 2022).

it was a little dark for me, approaching black in many lighting scenarios, so I ended up not pulling the trigger on it for the Bronco.

however, if my Lightning order ever gets pulled it’ll be AB!

I can understand...I had Race Red, and they are using the color on the F150s, some cars...guess that paint gun doesnt work on the bronco...

BUT, I just received my HPR bronco couple weeks ago, and I have no regrets with it at all. It is a bit more orange than the demo paint chips online show, but in person, it is awesome and I get a ton of compliments on it.

Good luck on getting the change!

Best advice is to get white or black and then try to wrap it antimatter blue. I don’t know how close it will be though.

Go with black cause your jams, sills, etc will still show a bit.

I think this is the last year Ford will offer antimatter blue. They no longer offer it on the Mustang, Ranger, or SuperDuty. You can still get it on the F-150, but this year it is only available if you get the chrome appearance package—it is no longer a standard color you can order on any F-150. It may come back in the future, but I doubt it. There were a lot of complaints in regards to antimatter blue that it didn't look like the marketing materials. In the sun it an awesome color, but when it sat in the shade it looked like a black color with a tinge of purple... almost like used Royal Purple motor oil.

If they do bring a dark-blue color back to the Bronco, it'll probably be Alto Blue—which is currently a color they offer on Maverick. Or they could do Stone Blue—which they offer on Escape and a few other vehicles. BUT, never know—might get lucky.
