Mused By Its heritage, The 2022 Ford Bronco’s New Paint Hues

Demanded by enthusiasts and inspired by its legacy, the Ford Bronco’s early years inspired new Bronco colours for the 2022 model year.

Ford’s colour and materials manager Barb Whalen said, “Paint has a wonderful way of evolving because of technology. Automotive enthusiasts, especially Bronco fans, are passionate about colours and excited about Eruption Green. It’s a contemporary colour with a connection to the Bronco heritage. Its evergreen-inspired, with yellow highlights really tie it into nature.”

Called the Eruption Green Metallic, this new paint hue is a modern rendition of Mallard Green, which was featured on first-generation Bronco models in the early- to mid-1970s.

Speaking of which, the 1966 – 1977 first-generation Bronco is the featured vehicle at this year’s world’s largest one-day automotive event, the ‘Woodward Dream Cruise’.

There, the Bronco brand took the opportunity to debut their new Eruption Green colour along with their new Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.

Both the Eruption Green and the Hot Pepper Red Metallic paint hues will be available for every Bronco series in the line-up.

As for the Antimatter Blue, Lightning Blue Metallic, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, exterior colours will only be available until the end of the 2021 model year. 

That said, orders for the 2022 two- and four-door Ford Broncos with the Eruption Green and Hot Pepper Red will open later this year.
