Hail to the Chief

[LuvHydro]

I've said it before, but Chief is the best color I have ever saw on a Wrangler. Just saw this one in the sunlight a few minutes ago and had to get a pic. Simply Gorgeous!!! It's just soooo beautiful. Certainly Hydro is a close 2nd and the only acceptable color current offered, but Chief still wins by a pretty good margin.

Saw one last week. Great color.

Great color, particularly since back in the 70's it was called grabber blue on ford mustangs.

Between the two, Hydro wins for me simply because I prefer metal flake/pearl versus flat for certain color tints.

Metal Flake/Pearl = Blue, Lime Green, Red, White, Silver
Flat = Black, Yellow, Orange, Tan, OD Green, Gray

With that said, it is a great looking example of Chief...

if I had to make a top 5 color list, It would be:

1. Gobi
2. Mojito
3. Gecko
4. Bikini Blue
5. Punkn (this one is bias )

The Hydro has mica flakes I read, but I can't find that anywhere to prove it.

Chief with mica would be the , epic!

Correct. That’s why they call Hydro a “Pearl Coat.” That’s Stellantis code for mica flakes. Tuscadero is the same way, hence the complexity of both colors in varying lights.

Fun fact: Punk’n has glass flakes in it and is, to my knowledge, the only color to use them. That’s why it flares occasionally, but otherwise looks like a solid color.

I like ur bias. Ha!

It's funny you mention Gobi. This Jeep was parked about 1/2 block away from the Chief. I'm not sure if it is Gobi, but I am sure it is unequivocally the fugliest Wrangler I have ever saw.

But someone liked it, so that's what counts!

Thanks for the info. I wonder if the Pearl Coats are difficult to match?

I hope I never have to find out.

they definitely made variants with the Jk - I think one was cream? One was dune and of course Gobi. I can say I’ve seen way worse though lol, at least it’s not rolling on 22’s with a rough country lift and angry bird grill.

I'll politely disagree. Sorry... she's a little dirty here.

very much wanted a Mojito Wrangler, but when I ordered last year it was not longer available. From the colors I could pick from I went Hydro.

We saw a Chief in Moab and my wife really liked it as well....

Desert tan.

When I was a kid in the 60's I had a Tonka Jeep toy(mostly metal) in that Chief colour along with white interior. Loved the colour then and love it still.
