Race or Ruby Red

I ordered a Ruby Red CCSB last week. I've got a Race Red Mustang and wife thought I should have a different color..... So I ordered Ruby Red. It's been bugging me.
Went to dealer and walked among the Superduty trucks and came to the conclusion the Ruby was not it......
Not sure the dealer can still change. He's trying to since it's not scheduled yet.

Should I have stayed Ruby....or is Race better. Cannot believe how hard it is to pick a truck color.
I sure think the Race reds are sharp. Kind of screams at you... And you don't see many.

My vote is stick with what you've ordered, particularly since you have Race Red on your Mustang. BTW, my signature pic is Ruby Red with the Stone Gray lower accent.

It's def a preference. I like the RR better. I wanted RR on my 2019,but you can't get it in an XL trim.

I would go with Race Red between the two. Ruby doesn't do it for me, but everyone is different.

Race Red! If it was offered in the Platinum or King Ranch trim I would have bought it. I would have looked good next to my Firecracker Red JKU Rubcion.

I think this is the deal maker. I called Dealer and changed it to Race Red! Now I have a matching set!
