Real shame that the RS is not available in a nice shade of red.

Nitrous Blue, UK�s Most Popular Focus RS Color
Nitrous Blue, UK’s Most Popular Focus RS Color
![]()
We’ve probably seen this coming since Ford has been exclusively using the Nitrous Blue Focus RS in their marketing campaign so it’s no surprise when CarScoops released the UK sales numbers.
Right now the most popular color is Nitrous Blue with 2,300 orders in the UK alone and it was chosen by 61% of the buyers. Following behind is Frozen White, attracting15% of the buyers and in third place with 10% is Shadow Black. The remaining 14% is split between the standard Stealth Gray and Magnetic (UK only).
What’s interesting is that even though only 61% of the buyers decided to go with the Nitrous Blue body paint, a large number of buyers still wanted a hint of that RS blue on their vehicle with 85% of them ordering the optional blue brake calipers. Luckily, for those of you in North America the blue calipers come standard so no matter which color you chose, a piece of that iconic blue will still be seen without the additional cost.
Unfortunately there’s no data on the color percentages in North America but I think this forum and its members, some of which has already put in their order, is a good indicator of which color is the most popular in NA followed by second, third and fourth place.
So let’s hear it, which color did you order and will you be painting any other part of the Focus RS blue?

I like the blue that was on the concept. This blue that is actually offered just doesn't do it for me. I am a fan of the grey.

Black looks great when it is clean. I've owned a black car and it looked terrible most of the time because every speck of dirt was visible. It looked amazing after a car wash though
