Color help

My favorite color is ruby red
My favorite leather is brunello

I am worried a red car will clash with that "red/brown" interior of brunette? What is everyone's thoughts

I do like a black truck so I thought about switching to black so the color of the leather doesn't clash with the red truck

I'll make it easy. Ruby red is a feminine color, you'll regret it later. Get Magnetic with your leather choice. Winner!

I vote red. Not a huge fan of red myself, but a red/brunello truck would be an eye turner for sure.

Unless, of course, you're going for a low profile.

I'm fine with not being low profile

I just worry red and brunello don't go well together

It's basically these options
Black with brunello
Red with brunello
Red with black

Based on the renderings in the build page, I'd say the Red/Brunello looks good

The brunello in real life in my opinion does not look exactly like the page.
The page to me shows a darker color and brunello to me in real life is lighter and has a brown tint

Red with black leather is my vote.

That may be the colors I end up with. Lariat, though, not Plat.

FWIW I've seen a lot of classic cars in my time with red paint and brown leather. Looks really nice, imho. But I am not sure what the brunello looks like.

The red with brunello looks good. Go check it out on an existing F150 - that's the combo I'm getting. Several of the Internet photos and videos of the brunello look almost purpleish - it is simply a nice brown in real life. The picture above is a great example of this - it just doesn't look like this in person. It's worth a trip to your Ford dealer to see it on a F150 platinum.

My wife and I liked the king ranch in the pictures and didn't like the brunello. Looking at them in real-life, we found the opposite to be true. I'm looking forward to my ruby red platinum with brunello.
