Atlas Blue?


Anyone ordered or received a '22 in Atlas Blue? How awesome is it in person? I have a CCLB F350 Platinum ordered with a current build week of August 23rd. Super excited to see it in person. Pics would be great!

I ordered a CCSB Atlas Blue 2022 Lariat with the black pack. I've seen Atlas on Rangers, and I think once we see it with the black pack it'll be sexy as all get out. Mine is scheduled for build week of Aug 2, so hopefully that ACTUALLY happens, and we get her soon. As soon as I have pics, I will post.

I originally selected Atlas but after seeing it on an explorer I changed it. It’s too normal looking. Wish it was more metallic like.

That is a bummer. According to the 2022 Super Duty promo videos it says/looks like it is a metallic paint. I hope it is. Ive had black trucks for a long time. I traded my '19 Agate Black in and originally ordered the '22 in Agate black. After watching the '22 promo videos I switched it to Atlas Blue. This is a promo picture of a Limited.

IMO,
The blues Ford chooses for the heavy trucks is puzzling.
So many classy shades of blue, and they picked this?
Maybe I need to see it in the flesh first, I guess..

Resurrecting this thread hoping to see an Atlas Blue if anyone has a "for real" picture. Thinking about ordering one in King Ranch variety and I really love blue jeans on my 20, but Antimatter Blue may as well be black.

I believe there is a picture over on the 2022 order tracking spreadsheet thread.

Having doubts about Atlas Blue if this F450 is really what it looks like. I've been basing my decision on photos such as the one below where the Explorer is Atlas Blue and the Super Duty is Velocity Blue. The F450 in the prior post looks completely different to me than the Explorer in the photo below.

It's a 2022 engineering prototype sent to me by a Ford engineer. So I didn't see it in person but I would suspect it's right especially as we talked about how bad Velocity Blue was on the super duties.

Either way I'll find out eventually since my F450 order is for Atlas Blue.. you know.. in December when my April/early May order is built and arrives. To me it looks darker/slightly more "blurple" than Vel Blue looks.
