This is the grey I used for my 93. I believe I based it off of Ford CX , and took out all of the red and doubled the weight of blue pearl.. The only reason it looks green in the pictures is reflection. As always, pictures don't do it justice

If it was a Corvette it would be red. But it's a Mustang that came Reef Blue so it should remain Reef Blue. Now this Regatta blue I have is another story. It turns my stomach.

The color was Ford CX. I went from the blue/titanium 2-tone.. that was a mistake. As happy as I was with the gunmetal, if I did it over again I would 100% stay with the original color. If you are completely sure you want the color, do it. It's your car and your decision. You may be happier just repainting it to the original color though.

Here's a picture of my latest car, also original grey.. I personally don't like it on this car.
