Help with 2023 Colors - Avalanche or Atlas

[Johnny3Sticks]

First time poster, long time lurker.

Getting ready to order a Screw 4x4 2023 XLT, most likely 302a/Sport/6.5 box and stuck on colors.

Have spent a lot of time searching colors on forums and not seeing a lot on how Avalanche or Atlas ages with respect to dust and swirl marks mostly. Will be parked outside and a lot of dust in my area from orchards and rodeo grounds.
I really like velocity blue, but that’s gone now.

Would love any feedback from owners with either Atlas or Avalanche with longer term impressions on how those colors hold up in hot summer sun and dust/swirl marks.

Leaning more towards Avalanche but can’t find a Raptor or GT350 to go look at in person and I realize it photographs pretty bad with respect to what that color looks like in the real world.

Thanks for reading!

I have an Atlas Blue Lariat and I absolutely love the color. It sparkles in sunlight and is more subdued in the shade. If you like blue, you will not be disappointed. With that said, if you are concerned about dust and swirl marks I think the Avalanche will be better suited for you since it is a lighter color with a flatter finish.

I'd vote for Atlas. I'm coming from a 2019 in Velocity Blue to a 2022 in Atlas.

Avalanche in person looks like primer. Atlas has much more depth and, IMO, will hide the imperfections better.

Beautiful Atlas truck. I wanted to order that colour when I ordered my 23 lariat but for some reason the Ford software wouldn't let him select it. Still not sure why, it was similar to truck above Lariat 502A with sport package. Ended up ordering rapid red.

PS: if you can find Atlas on the lot check it out. I thought it appeared kind of purply when I saw the online pics but liked it a lot better in person.

Tough to find a live AG rig in the wild. Here is my 17 Avalanche. Great tone of grey. I also had a much darker 19 abyss grey. Switching to code orange now. Needed a change.
