Using nature as inspiration, Ford has come up with a
new Outrageous Green Metallic paint hue for the 2018 Focus Electric hatchback.
Ford researchers have found that when it comes to buying a new car, color choice
is highly personal as 35% to 40% of customers will actually walk away from a
car or even a brand if they can't get the color they want.
Many colors seen today on Ford vehicles were
inspired from beautiful places in nature, as trends can often be predicted two
to three years in advance. These trends can ultimately be influence by
anything, from changing lifestyles, psychological and societal emotions, to
consumer hobbies and passions.
Ford will often find inspiration exterior and
interior designs in unusual sports gear, ropes, anodized finishes, plastics
gear and accent fabrics. Also, the automaker does have a history with green
hues, offering Highland Green, Squeeze Green, Ultimate Green, Gotta Have It
Green and now Outrageous Green Metallic.
