Don't think it's a Ford Marlin, not metalic enough.

Looks like mid teens Jeep wrangler colors 2017:

Just saw the warranty plate on the Bronco from last night. It is indeed code V Brittany Blue.

Yeah I believe you are correct.

We started this restoration and picked this color almost 4 years ago now. In that time, I have seen so many variations of non-metallic grey's applied to cars new and old. It was my idea first and now I look like the copy cat!

I think eb's look best in non-metallic colors.

It is Marlin Blue. A Ford color used on a lot of trucks, and on the Bronco in 66. I built the truck last year and this is the color he chose. Never trust the colors you see on a screen. I always send the customer a spray out of the color just to make sure.
You can see more pics of it on my JAK'S Restoration facebook page in the Hurst album. It is probably the worse one so far. Lots of sheetmetal and frame repair.

Non-metallic all the way.

We went with Audi Nardo grey on ours. Just wait until you see it in the sunlight....

I love that color. I'm finishing one now that is Ford's version, Lead foot Grey. Always been a fan of solid colors on the Bronco.

if it's I phone, take it w/the phone sideways, home bottom at bottom in your right hand sir.

I'll try that. I always have the home button to the left. Strange though cause I download them to my laptop and they're all fine until I post them here.

I agree with the Toyota Calvary Blue. Found on the New TRD Off-Road Pro.

There are a few colors like that now without any Metallic. My 69 has the same type of look but Tan (Jeep Gobi). Toyota has a Quicksand too that is similar to the Gobi. Subaru has some too. These colors are very classic looking and fit the EB really well.
