Red, Black Most Popular Ford Mustang Colors
The Ford Mustang has gone global and car shoppers worldwide agree on its best available colors.
According to data released by the American automaker, the two exterior shades that have been universally accepted for the Ford Mustang are Black and Race Red. In the U.S., Black led sales while Magnetic Metallic came in second and Ruby Red in third. European shoppers put Race Red at the top and Absolute Black in second. In third for Europe is Deep Impact Blue.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Race Red is also the most popular shade in China while Oxford White came in second and Black was third. Nearly 35 percent of all Mustang orders in China are for Race Red, said Ford.

The Mustang also claimed the crown of best-selling sports car in America after Mustang sales went up 32 percent last month. Interestingly enough, despite white being the most popular color choice among all car shoppers in the U.S., Mustang buyers want the exact opposite with black.
