History of Ford's Brittany Blue

If you’re a lifelong Blue Oval fan, chances are the mere mention of Brittany Blue conjures the same instant mental picture that Hugger Orange does for devotees of Chevrolet. Both of these classic colors are a testament to the power of a perfect paint job, yet while Chevy’s color screams high performance, Ford’s Brittany Blue is a robin-egg shade with a cooler, calmer attitude.

That understated charisma is precisely why the color became an instant favorite with discerning enthusiasts. Since 2012, Velocity has kept that legacy alive on its Ford-badged Re-Engineered Classics™.

History Of Brittany Blue

2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package in Brittany Blue

Unlike many of its day-glow contemporaries, Brittany Blue’s appeal was rooted in versatility, making it perfect for Ford to apply on performance vehicles, luxury sedans, and even trucks, vans, and SUVs. This color looked just as good on a classic Ford Mustang (including the Shelby GT500) as it did on the larger Ford Galaxie models, and it was also available on the Ford Econoline, Ford F-Series, and, in 1970, the Ford Bronco. Other nameplates offered in Brittany Blue included the Ford Falcon, Ford Fairlane, Mercury Comet, and Mercury Cougar

Like many vintage hues, Brittany Blue was phased out in the early 1970s as Ford updated its palettes to keep pace with shifting color trends. Brittany Blue remains a popular color in regards to the restoration of classic Ford cars and trucks, and it is by far the most popular color when customers are speccing their bespoke Re-Engineered Classic Ford Broncos built by Velocity. To mark the 60th anniversary of the Mustang, Ford debuted a limited-edition version of the 2025 Mustang, which is even available in Brittany Blue (shown above).

It’s the perfect expression of stealth wealth, whether you’re hedging out on a Sunday morning drive in a classic Mustang, carving corners in the F-100 restomod, or heading to the beach in a vintage Ford Bronco.
