As a street vehicle, I like the blues. All of them. But for my off-roading and hunting, I like either the desert tan or Gobi.

There's a butt for every seat I guess, but all I can think of when I see Chief is "20 pounds of ugly in a 10-pound skin"...
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.

I think all this thread has proven is that color choice is inherently subjective.

I wish I could have ordered my 2023 Rubicon in that color!

Never been a fan of Chief, or any of the lighter shades of blue. My brother had a '67 Cougar that came in some kind of light blue color. I always thought it ruined the lines of the car. Hydro I love. Chief, not so much.

I may be a bit biased, but my favorite JL colors:
  1. Bikini Pearlcoat
  2. HellaYella
  3. Mojito
  4. High Velocity
  5. Hydro Blue
--EDIT--

Tiffany Blue was the color of my brothers car. Too light a shade of blue to me.

Sting Gray changes colors different light. I'll stay with Billet Silver with Sting Gray.

Since Blue is my favorite color, I would go with Ocean Blue Metallic as my blue.

I've only ordered two new Jeeps from the factory being able to choose my own color, both times the windows for interesting colors had ended, forcing me into the basic boring colors. Sad! In a perfect world:

1. Bikini Pearl
2. Snazzberry
3. Inca Gold (TJ color)
4. Mojito
5. Gobi

I think that Snazzberry came out after I bought mine, but Hellayella, and Punk'n Metallic were top contenders against Mojito!. My wife loves Snazzberry and I would definitely drive one...
