Throughout the legendary history of the Mustang, there have been many models that have helped make it become the American automotive icon it is known for today. Born in the era of rebellion, the Mustang only knows no bounds to its relentless pursuit of performance, sophistication, and racing pedigree. When enthusiasts see those prominent lines, broad rear haunches, and signature twin fog lights, one thing comes to mind is legendary American horsepower and design. Although all of these traits make the Mustang so incredible, it could be nothing without its obvious color choices. Every generation of Mustang has offered enthusiasts the right amount of colors, to diversify the herd throughout the community.

Upon launch of the S197 Mustang in 2005, every enthusiast was gearing up for what was known as the modern retro pony, to pay homage to the original 60s era stallion. To enhance classic styling with its fastback profile, broad rear haunches, and long hood, Ford knew it would have to step up the color palette to give the Mustang faithful what it deserves. Throughout its decade long reign, the S197 brought back some of the most signature colors in Mustang history to give models the added punch of styling and design it rightfully deserves.

2005-2009 Mustang Color Options

In the first year of the S197 Mustang, Ford took a conservative approach by offering ten colors within the first year of 2005. As the generation went on, Mustang designers released a wide variety of new colors that would only enhance the elegant and muscular lines of America's favorite pony car. Things heated up even further when Ford reintroduced three legendary Mustang models in the Shelby GT500, Mustang Bullitt, and GT California Special. These three icons harken back to the original muscle car era of style, class, and muscle was as paramount as America and apple pie.

The reintroduction of these models meant Ford could take a punch to all competitors domestically to show who has always been the king of muscle cars. Colors such as Grabber Orange, Dark Highland Green, Performance White, and Dark Candy Apple Red paid homage to the original stallions, which first graced the pony emblem. Over ten years later, these colors are still revered by all Mustang enthusiasts alike, and as the generation gets older, they can be quite harder to find. These reasons are what makes these colors so special just as all of the colors you will find throughout the first phase of the S197 Mustang generation.
