Here are the Ford Mustang’s 7 color options

Ford’s all-new Mustang is now in the Philippine market. With its next-gen update, the pony car has become more powerful and agile than ever before. 

Under the hood of its top-spec GT Premium variant is a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 tuned to produce up to 314 horsepower (hp) and 486 Newton-meters of torque. The said engine is coupled to the Blue Oval’s improved MagneRide damping system and a well-equipped interior with Recaro seats and high-definition digital displays. 

The Mustang, however, does have a total of seven available color options locally. For prospective buyers, the sheer amount of options can be intimidating. 

So, to help would-be adopters of the speedy Ford two-door coupe, here is a short guide on its exterior color options.

Race Red

For folks who want to share the sharp exterior styling of the Mustang with the world, there’s Race Red. Obviously, the kind of red it uses makes the vehicle more visible on the road or the race track. 

When combined with the car’s black-colored exterior pieces, such as its power-folding side mirrors, mesh grille, hood scoop, and 19-inch alloy wheels, the Mustang also comes off as an aggressive-looking beast. As such, the younger demographic may appreciate Race Red for its loud and gung-ho color. 

Grabber Blue

On the opposite side of the spectrum from Race Red is Grabber Blue. Sure, the name sounds macho, but the hue of blue it uses is reminiscent of the blue sky or the gentle waves of the sea. As a result, Grabber Blue can be seen by some as a relaxing color, which may also somewhat hide the Mustang’s performance capabilities. 

As mentioned above, the Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 can generate 314 hp in total. Its beefy engine output is thanks to twin air intakes coupled with dual throttle bodies, both of which are new on the S650 generation. 

It likewise gets a throaty and burbly exhaust note that any performance enthusiast will love. But like the discreet Grabber Blue color option, the pony car has a selectable “quiet mode” courtesy of its active valve exhaust system.

As a note for prospective Mustang buyers, Grabber Blue is only available for the GT Premium trim. 

Vapor Blue

Another relaxing color option for the Mustang is Vapor Blue. It is slightly more neutral than Grabber Blue, making it closer to teal.

Regardless, it displays the same effect, with the car’s black exterior pieces becoming more apparent to the eye. 

Yellow Splash

Yet another loud and proud color option for the Mustang is Yellow Splash. This hue provides the Blue Oval brand’s coupe with a lot of personality by being attention-grabbing, despite how gloomy the weather is. 

Unlike the mean-looking Race Red, the Yellow Splash color option gives the car a cheery feel and makes the ride more visible on the road, which is a plus, especially at night. 

Like Grabber Blue, Yellow Splash is exclusive to the top-spec GT Premium variant. 

Iconic Silver

One of the two neutral colors of the next-gen Mustang is Iconic Silver. In a nutshell, it gives the pony car’s exterior a shiny sheen, serving to highlight its wide rear haunches, its rakish roofline, and its aggressively wide grille. 

Being one of the colors furthest away from loud, Iconic Silver also gives the Mustang a quiet confidence of sorts. It burgeons on being elegant, but otherwise, it may also hide the muscular vehicle in traffic. 

Oxford White

The Mustang's other neutral color is Oxford White. As per its name, it is also a bright color, so it accentuates the car’s character lines, particularly on the lower sections of the doors, its angular lower front bumper, and the hood. 

In addition, white may also prove to make the Mustang more visible in inclement weather and low-visibility situations. However, with white being popular in the local market, it can also make the car blend in more with traffic. 

Shadow Black

Coming in as the anti-thesis of Oxford White is Shadow Black.

This is the darkest hue available to the Philippine-spec Mustang. So, for those wanting a stealthier-looking car, this is the way to go. 

The only downside to Shadow Black, however, is that it will definitely hide most of the car’s black-colored exterior pieces, resulting in a loss of a contrasting appearance. Nevertheless, the color more than makes up for it by making the car reflective of light, which is pretty to look at during twilight hours. 

Pricing

In the Philippine market, the Ford Mustang 2.4-liter EcoBoost Premium is priced at P3.499 million, while the top-spec 5.0-liter GT Premium retails for P3.999 million.
