Great color, particularly since back in the 70's it was called grabber blue on ford mustangs.
Yes, those were awesome looking mustangs. Grabber blue is just slightly darker, though.

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

I hope I never have to find out.
I actually did find out when I barely caught the right front corner of my fender flare on the garage door opening (I have to angle right, then straighten for the final push in based on how our lot is shaped and our detached 3-car garage is set...). Ended up replacing the front flares. Mine is Mojito.

Took it to a local paint shop recommended to me by a co-worker. The paints they use are formulated by a specialist elsewhere in San Antonio who uses some fancy-shmancy special machine to match the paint exactly. They take your vehicle over to him to ensure aging of the paint is accounted for. First appointment with him was canceled due to it being a cloudy day. He insisted on color-matching in bright sunlight. I though it odd, but I can't argue with the results. Totally spot-on, and even when I've talked to friends about it and they look right at it close up they can tell no difference in color/flake make-up from the rest of the body. Wasn't cheap, but definitely did a great job. Like you said, hopefully you never have to find out!

To me, it's the kind of color you occasionally enjoy seeing on someone else's Jeep. But, if I had to roll up to that thing every day I think I'd hate myself for ordering it.
My sister bought a used JK in Chief because it was the only one they had that fit her budget. Her husband barely wants to be seen driving it.

I'm oddly drawn to those secondary colors on the color wheel. Mojito and Punk'n weren't available when I ordered, but Reign was. I'm glad, though, because it would have been really tough to choose amongst the three...

Get more compliments on my Mojito jeep than any other of my vehicles. I’m even asked if it’s a custom paint job. Such a great color it’s not really a bright green it’s got a really cool almost gold pearl flake. Hard to describe. Future collectible. IMHO

Dittos, Rush! In the sunlight the mica flake is just amazing on a clean one. I've had people pull up next to me at a stoplight and ask the same thing: "Did that come from the factory in that color? Love it!"

Same here, just got a "Love the color of your Jeep" yesterday. All I can say is thanks we love it too.
