Did I get the wrong color Blue??

[jadewolf]

Those seat covers tho!! Where did you get those??

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.

35's?

Nope, just the stock 33s! Eventually might go to 35s, but right now these get me down every trail just fine and, with gas prices what they are, I haven't seen the need to upgrade yet. When these wear out, I'll revisit then and probably go to 35s.

Cool - they just looked bigger than stock. Probably just me not used to seeing 2 doors.

Yeah, 2 doors look pretty well proportioned with the 33s. It's kinda nice.

Hydro blue is a very nice blend of blue, I personally felt that the ocean blue in some instances depending on light etc would look purple from further away, when they did the chief blue with the white stripes and white top it looked awesome but I think the hydro blue is the better looking color of the group, my opinion. I think you’ll be happy with it ?

Hydro Blue is my first choice but only because it's the ONLY blue. It's definitely not light in any way but it's not terribly dark either so you should like it. I too was a HUGE fan of the Chief Blue so much so that I cancelled my order last fall when they contacted me and told me I couldn't have it (even though it was in the order books). That was for a 4XE and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I dodged a bullet there.

Ocean Blue:

Hydro Blue:

The color is bright blue in the sun, darkens in shadows or overcast.

Once you see it in person you'll like it, you may not love it but you'll definitely like it.

Well, it doesn't really matter anyway, b/c none are Bikini Pearl

My wife loves Bikini Blue and was bummed she couldn’t get it. She is equally excited for her HV yellow we ordered but I think if Bikini became available she would be bummed she didn’t get it.

We saw Hydro in person and she was not a fan. It seemed more like a royal blue(Not as dark as ocean)

I'd say the picture is off, samething with Punkin orange. I didn't choose it because in the pic it looked more like a softer orange than how it is in person

Agree with this. Jeep has an enthusiastic and loyal base that puts a high value on color. Look no further than these forum pages where color is a regular topic of friendly but passionate debate. One would think that Jeep would strive to be more accurate representing their colors. Who in marketing/web design looks at the images below and says “yeah, not very close but close enough”.

Sadly, the people shooting their photographs have no concept of color and they are shooting these in a studio with the wrong K-Value of lighting... Plus, they probably have their camera set to "Auto"... They should come work with me in the printing industry for a while, I'll show them what color is all about.

I would call it a medium blue with bright lighter highlights in the sun.

Doesn't anybody go to a dealer to look at these things anymore?

Actually, they are not shooting photographs for the web site, they are instead creating renderings through CGI technology. This allows the user to configure the Jeep and see how it might look with selected options and colors. It's a helpful tool but they apparently have to give up visual accuracy in order to make it work. A disclaimer stating that some images might not match real world appearances would benefit buyers like the OP.

You better believe I do.............oh, wait!
The dealership doesn't have any new Wranglers on their lot anymore. ?
