Default Accelerate Yellow similar to Zinc Yellow on the 99+ Mustang

I know we have not seen one in the wild yet, but it with the blue tint to it, it reminds me most closely to this color. My brother had one and I always thought yellow only looks good on a mid engine car

Definitely closer in color than any other yellow I've seen (most of which are much more orange).

I really like the yellow of my GT350 (definitely a bit more on the orange "school bus" side of the spectrum), and I am really looking forward to seeing what the yellow of the C8 is like.

However, I will probably lean towards one of the metallic colors, as I like the added depth. A friend has an FD RX7 in a pearlescent yellow, and that color is amazing. Would love to see GM do some type of metallic/pearl yellow at some point.

Accelerate Yellow is Metallic

”Accelerate Yellow Metallic” is the official color name.

Let’s hope not, since Zinc yellow is too light. I always call it happy Easter yellow when I see it, as it’s headed to pastel land compared to Fords chrome yellow they used many other years.

I had a 99 and 02 Mustang, one of my favorite Mustang designs, and remember Zinc Yellow pretty well. It was in fact more pastel looking.

AY is going to be a brighter color with some metallic flake in it, if the paint samples are correct.
