It's tough for me...because in daylight I do love the color of Antimatter Blue.

But my family started calling it 'fickle b!tch blue' after my FIL had one and people kept mistaking it for black. Because in certain lighting, it DOES look black.

AB was such a weird color for me. When it was clean it was amazing with the two tone but when it was just a touch dirty, even just dusty - it looked worse than a dirty black truck. (I don’t mind dirty black trucks. For some reason I minded my dirty AB ) I can’t describe it other than being higher maintenance than black.

So bummed about getting rid of the antimatter. I liked it because it looked black, until you really looked at it. This blue looks like an homage to the 80's, especially with the two tone. Looks like a toy to me.

That's what I love about AB. It's often subdued but it's almost like the truck is sharing in it with you when it's a gorgeous day outside because it hits different on those days.

Same for Magma Red. I would LOVE another MR truck. I was going to get an AB F350 back in 22, but could not find one anywhere to see the actual color. I finally saw one, in the show room though and I thought it was black until I looked at it sideways. Sort of glad I didn't get it. It would be a PITA to keep clean. Love my Star White one though, even dirty it still sparkles under the sun. Nothing beats Tuxedo Black though, even well dirty it still looked good because it was LOADED with metallic and pearls.

Always kick myself for selling my Magma Red / Marsala F250 special order. Rare truck for sure. Will try to find another one day.

Unpopular opinion: I never cared for Blue Jeans. I liked both Antimatter Blue and this new shade though!

And it was perfect and only had 19k miles on it.

Think I am going to find another one.

Crazy thing is I found it for sale in KY searching the VIN but I had just bought another. Had 65k miles on it.

Finally found some decent pics of argon blue on facebook. I know there are a lot of opinions on blues. I was a bit hesitant to order my 2026 in this color before seeing it. I'm happy with my decision.

I really like that Argon Blue! That's the best looking Blue I've seen in a very long time IMO (at least from the pics/video above)

Blue is my favorite color. My 2018 I ordered in Blue Jeans. I was a little disappointed though, because in direct sunlight, it had a purple tint to it (my guess was the paint was too thin)
When I was ordering my 2024, I just couldn't get behind Antimatter Blue. Waaaay too dark. It looked black in anything other than direct sunlight...and even then, anything shaded looked black too.
So I went with Carbonized Gray.

Antimatter looks good when clean but IMO, like others have said, it's waaaaaaay too close to black and I can't daily a black vehicle. I wanted a KR but all I could find was black and antimatter blue. Ended up with a glacier grey Platinum instead.

It looks like the Blue used on the 2013 Fusion. A liquid deep blue like you could sink into it.
