I feel like ford stole Rivian’s colors. They have a red-orange Ranger that a colleague of mine is buying, and this Broncoā€˜s gray looks like what Limestone was supposed to be. I wonder if the Limestone delay was due to Ford making a color so close to Limestone that Rivian had to reformulate.

I mean…you can get a Honda Accord in a color similar to Limestone now. Many manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon so I don’t think it’s a Rivian vs. Ford issue.

I could be wrong here but I think Jeep was the original with this color. They released ā€œAnvilā€ in 2015 on the Hard Rock edition. Prior to getting my rubicon then in this color, I do not recall any others on the market with this scheme.

Not my Jeep BTW

Personally, I prefer the Rivian color over Ford cactus by a substantial margin. I really like cactus, but I love limestone.

It is interesting how much lighting makes a difference. The colors are quite similar in the second photo but the fourth photo shows them to be quite different.

Think of it as a complement

A look at similar colors -- R1T in Limestone vs Bonco in Cactus Gray.

These kinds of comparisons are what we need more of. I have a slate grey Chevy Bolt and hope to see a comparison with that soon. I think it would likely be very similar.

The first time I saw a cement/limestone color like this was on the 2010 Scion tC. I think it was (and still is) a very cool color.

@R1T7777 I’ve got several similar comparisons on Rivian Stories (those are my photos). I’d upload more here, but I have to resize them first to meet size restrictions…. but don’t there or Facebook or Reddit….

Here it is compared to VW Moonstone:
