They seem to be really going with the whole orange accent thing to match the upgraded markers up front. Did you see those t-shirts the Ford reps were wearing at the event? If anything the red stitching on the steering wheel and the center tab should have been switched to orange?
The red stripe on the steering wheel has been switched to orange. No, not an amber orange, but a red/orange that I believe is the same as the Code Orange exterior color. It does not show up to well in pics. The American flag easter egg and stitching is in the same color.
At least then you have a general theme going on.. :Ford Blue and Orange Marker Lights: they were the first to push the width of the truck and all the competitors followed suit, then Ford said "hold my beer, i'll make them even ******* bigger"
I think that actually was the plan, in a way. I don't think they wanted to use an amber orange on the interior as that's probably even less appealing, and they are already using a burnt orange color on the Tremor. I will admit that blue/orange is a common pairing of colors that people are used to seeing. They certainly could have picked worse options. I think it's just a better approach to go with neutral colors, letting buyer's pick their favorite accent color with aftermarket stuff if they want.
Kind of an aside, but it seems that automakers haven't fully realized that the internet has given people a lot more access, and a lot of variation, to customize their vehicles. Building a vehicle with interior color accents that can't be easily changed doesn't make a lot of sense to me personally.
