Excursion Colors

None of the below is meant to offend any Excursion owner. It's nothing more than my observations in the region I live in.

Obviously, black is the best looking color on an Excursion. I doubt there's much debate about this fact.

Dark Blue = a black wannabe. But it's real pretty.

White usually = "I got a good deal" or "soccer Mom".

Silver usually = the cheaper XLT package.

Dark Green = beautiful, second choice to black and dark blue for some people.

The burgundy/red (a/k/a Toreador Red in some Ford lines) = very nice.

But why does FORD label the below as Mineral Gray (color code TK)? To me it's a brownish color, there's nothing gray about it whatsoever.

Recently traded in my '01 Deep Wedgewood Blue V10 Limited for an '05 Toreador Red V10 Eddie Bauer. BTW, I happen to like the White Excursions ... think they're classy. I like the green models, too ... but I don't like any of the XLT models because of all that chrome up front. Heck, I've even been removing chrome from my Harley, and replacing it with painted parts!

They are pretty, yes. A man not far from me bought a used one about 2 years ago. I passed by his house every day. The color looked awful on Crown Victorias though.

I had a 00 F150 that color - loved the color, but I had a hard time with the name. What the h3ll is a wedgewood anyhow? And what would Light Wedgewood Blue look like?

Well, it is a mineral color - but I don't see where they get the Gray, maybe it's a base coat.

Everyone knows SILVER Excursions are the most powerful and the fastest.

That mineral color I think Ford used to call it Fawn in the 70's didn't they? I personally don't care for the red but it's not like I have a choice in the matter.

I have the dark blue and have met many a "chick" that digs it. It could be my charming personality too I guess !

I think maybe you've been sniffing Chestnut Brown paint! There is no such thing as a good looking BROWN vehicle. Brown is the color or dirt and poop.

No Doubt, I'd love to have a fully blacked-out Excursion...just as long as it came with someone else to keep it clean!
