Obviously it's completely up to you. I would urge you to consider the 'personality' of the bronco - what do you want it to feel like, what do you want it to say?

When I see those gray colors I usually think of words like:
Sinister
Technical
Professional
Industrial
Smooth


The bright red conjures up things like:
Vintage
Sporty
Fun
Loud

When you go to sleep at night thinking about your bronco, what color is it in your mind's eye?

Someone made a comment about 'accessory' and trim colors - also something very good to consider. Grey is monotone and needs something - either chrome or gloss black or something - to dress it up.

Can't go wrong with either but I think for resale red Broncos are always easy to sell

Wow! A of good replies. Joshd1971bronco- I like everything you said. Sometimes I see a nice technical/smooth/industrial bronco and other times I like the idea of vintage/sporty. I guess I just need to buy another one.

There was a Silver one at Super Celebration that kept catching my eye... I have always loved RED but I am also fond of being different. Lots of red ones and not so many silver ones... if it is silver I would want a metallic silver.... That Rover looks nice but I am thinking more like the silver on the new F150s... That is very bright.

As an owner of a red bronco, I say go Grey!
Once I get there in my build, I'm going Grey.
Hair may be gray before I get there! ;D

[I've noticed, aside from just the Icon bronco, that varying shades Grey/silver are hugely popular right now.

From an article on car colors, "In Europe, black (solid and with effect), silver and gray reign, accounting for 26%, 20% and 18% of the market. Russians overwhelmingly choose silver cars (30%) while India's market shows a preference for white and white pearl (17% and 11%, respectively) and silver (27%.)"
Holly shit, Must be a market analysts.

If you have seen the color in person on an entire vehicle that's square and boxy like the EB and like the color than go with that. (gray)

If you have seen the red on a little econo box that is well rounded and nothing like a EB than it won't look much like what your picturing in your head.

That being said I have owned 4 candy apple red FORDS. 3 of which I bought brand new. I love that color.
