There was a very nice JK color called Deep Water Blue. I’ve always wished Jeep would bring it back.

I agree that it’s a great color. It was offered on the 2009 and ‘10s and strangely was not very popular. It’s a classic blue, more like navy in this picture.

Yeah, Ocean is beautiful, but it's got some slightly purple vibes. Deep Water was a true navy.

Nothing on the lots in November when I ordered, I visited every local dealership to get an idea of the latest color range - no one had ANY new wranglers - I did see a few black gladiators, and one used silver of some shade from a few years back. Not really helpful. The best I could do was come look at the color forums here online, thankfully!
When I was looking at Wranglers, again, in January of '21 the dealership had a High Altitude in Snazzberry. I didn't expect my wife to like it but to my surprise she did. A lot.

Since I didn't want to lose out on the color I ordered the next month at which time the Hydro Blue became available. I showed the Hydro Blue color to my wife as, even though it is my Wrangler, it is nice to have her fully satisfied with my pick. Pretty Bright! was her only comment. I had to agree so I didn't order the Hydro Blue.

But, if I was to order a 2022 Wrangler this month I do believe the color I would choose would be Hydro Blue. My first choice would still be Snazzberry but that's not available and I know I'd be perfectly happy with Hydro Blue.

2021 Wrangler JLUR (aka Juno) - Hydro Blue
Hydro Blue Pearl Coat is a very hard colour to catch in a photograph. None truly capture the colour because it's a pearl coat, which means it changes in different lighting.
Sometimes it's Bright, light and vibrant, and other times it's dark and flat.

It even looks like turquoise in some light.

Personally, I think it's the best colour ;)

I ordered my 2022 JL Unlimited Sport S in February. I built it all out on the Jeep site, chose Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat based on the pictures on the site. That's pretty much the whole reason I got this car is because I loved the color:

This to me looks like a light blue. Now I'm seeing images of Hydro Blue wranglers online and it is NOT this color, it's more like a navy color blue. I'm gonna be driving quite a few hours to go pick this up when it comes in, have obviously put a deposit down ... am I not getting the color that I thought I was getting? I'm gonna be so sad if I show up and it's a dark blue :(

Some of the pictures I see look much darker and some of them look like the right color. Are there multiple types of Hydro Blue?
I have Hydro blue, it's even better in person! However, that's just one mans humble opinion and you're entitled to yours unless it's wrong. :D

Bartact! They're a little pricey and take a while to ship (since they're usually made to order), but they're covered in molle and the blue matches Hydro perfectly! I had them on my JK too, good quality stuff.

Edit: There's a couple closer pics of them in my build thread, if you want to see a little more of how they look.
Hi! Thanks for the link! Question: the rear covers are available in NO fold down armrest only and WITH fold down arm rest only. Do you know what a 2022 Unlimited 4 door Sport S EcoDiesel would be by any chance? :)

Not sure. I have a 2 door and my rear seat was long since taken out, lol.

The folks at Bartact are super helpful and responsive, though. Give them a call and they'll probably know which one to order.

If you have leather, you want WITH the fold-down armrest.
If you have cloth, you want WITHOUT the fold-down armrest.

I definitely like it a lot more now that I've seen it in the sunlight :)

The Hydro Blue on black looks outstanding any where, and it does pop on the beaches of Texas.

Ah okay. Just curious about the texture as well. Is it comfortable to feel and sit in? I know its like a tactical texture but curious how you feel about the way it feels to the touch
