Green Gem Returns!

The retail guys were showing me some of the new colors coming out next year and I went through the trucks and Green Gem is listed for 2018. I know some of you were holding your breath, so here is to good news!

That would be good news for the green guys Frantz. Lots of folks wanting a new blue or Green Gem back... Did they mention the new color Magma to you?

No order guide yet fro the trucks other than F53 and F59....

Yes, they had the Magma color too and it looked black. Not like Green Gem black or Darkside black, but like black. It was a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet painted, so I'll really want to see it in person and in the sun. I like Fords dark colors, but I always find I wish they had a little more color to them.

I'm guessing this is Magma on a 150 based on your description Frantz. There is also a video of it on the 2018 F150 page where a VERY dark red shows up a few times.

I sure wish the Super Duty was offered in Avalanche Grey like the Raptor. That would be one sharp machine. I would've went with that over White Platinum. I still like the White Platinum though.

I'll bet that Magma will really pop as a two-tone over Caribou.

That looks more like the burgundy color that's on some of the cars and SUVs this year. i think it's getting added to Mustang. I don't remember if I saw it with SD or F150 as well.

Guys...could it be you're looking at a Fleet color chart?? From what I remember Green Gem WAS still available for 2017.......but only on the fleet trucks or bigger series trucks. Also...again....I thought this was the new Magna....(Red) Also....I saw another new color listed...Royal Crimson??? Could that be on Rodney's pic above??

I literally said this to myself this morning when I was walking into work. I saw another vehicle that had a similar color to the avalanche and thought.....Damn I would've bought that color instead of magnetic in a heart beat.

Makes me think of Kodiak Brown that looked black in certain lighting.
