I was just teasin.
As long as you don't go with a soft pink or rainbow colors, I don't think anyone is going to question your masculinity in any of the rather neutral shades available.
Consider though that the XLT actually has a lot of orange inside, making an orange exterior a nice match. Also the Lariat if you avoid adding on luxury or first addition packages is actually not that expensive for all you get, and it affects appearance too like the DRL LEDs above the headlights and of course nice wheels over steelies.
The Lariat interior being a more neutral brown could affect color matching too though, will have to see how it pairs with the red as seen below.
Its a shame they don't offer my ideal combo, which would be a matching dirt/earth tone brown for the exterior with a white roof. They did that with the Chevy Trailblazer Activ and I thought it was sweet.
