New Mustang Black Horse Gets Custom Blue Ember Paint Color

The Ford Mustang has gotten a facelift for the 2024 model year, and while there are plenty of exciting aspects of the redesigned pony car, one of the most exciting new additions is the creation of the all-new Dark Horse version of the Mustang. And as you can expect, there is more to the Dark Horse than just an awesome name. With a specially-modified 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse offers up more horsepower than any Mustang ever – to the tune of 500 horsepower.

Beyond just power, the Mustang Dark Horse Fastback gets some unique styling cues that help to set it even further apart from the rest of the pack, including a color that was mixed up exclusively for the special edition. Let’s take a closer look at the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse interior and exterior colors.

The redesigned Mustang is available in 12 colors – 11 of which are available across the full line of trim level options, and just one that is exclusive to the Dark Horse. Ford stirred up a unique shade of blue that can only be sprayed across the unique, power-hungry trim – one they have dubbed Blue Ember.

Blue Ember is in the metallic family of paint and includes special effect pigments that shift the color of the exterior in different lights and angles. Another unique aspect of the exterior is the gloss black finishes that are spread across the body, including the grille, hood extractor, roof and rear spoiler.

While the Blue Ember exterior really helps to set the Dark Horse apart, there are also a few carefully chosen areas of the interior that are outfitted with special touches of blue to tie in with the outside of the pony car. That includes the all-new anodized blue, lightweight titanium manual shift knob that draws your eye, but is also practical with a hollow interior to help it stay cool even when the weather is hot.

That bright indigo blue also finds its way into the steering wheel with custom stitching stretched across the sporty, flat-bottomed steering wheel. While subtle, the stitching carries on throughout the instrument and door panels, seats, gear shift boot and center console trim and lid. Those touches you’ll find standard across all version of the Mustang Dark Horse, but more options are available to you.

The Dark Horse is sporty all on its own, but if you want to turn the style knob up to 11, a Mustang Dark Horse Appearance Package adds RECARO performance seats with Deep Indigo Blue bolsters to bring in yet another touch of blue. The seats include accent stitching in the matching blue, as well as black Dinamica suede in the center of the seat for improved lateral grip. The blue touches are finalized with Deep Indigo Blue seatbelts and distinct seat perforations beneath the seating surface.

With more horsepower than any Mustang ever produced, a custom-designed Blue Ember exterior and a range of Deep Indigo Blue touches spread throughout the interior, the Dark Horse lives up to its name with its one-of-a-kind look and performance.
