For me, it *had* to be orange and nothing else.

I believe it was Henry Ford that said " you can have any color you want, as long as it's black"..
I prefer to say, " you can have any color you want, as long as it's Sting- Gray !!"
Loved that color the first time I saw it, no regrets!

If you’re buying new and paying 50k then hell yes you come to a favorite color and no turning back. In this case though the buyer is buying used so if it were me I’d only be choosy if there were a lot of Jeeps that had what I want and were priced similarly.

beggers cant be choosers

im one of the former. I really want shark gray but no one had SG Sports at the time (base) and i was afraid if i had waited my wife would have changed her mind on letting me get one lol. And a month later she was diagnosed, would likely have not bought a jeep for who knows how long....

both she and the jeep are doing great. She loves it (did not care for jeeps at all before)

Glad to hear she is doing better and loves the Jeep

I wanted Mojito.
Wife wanted Punkin.
We settled at Billet Silver.
Whatever.

Haha that's fair. I just meant even with the features you would pass on it because of the color. Not that you would totally pass on what you're looking for!. More just waiting for the right color to come along, or settling for your second favorite.

And like I said, it's more for those who are shopping used than those who are looking to buy new. Personally I'm looking used because of the immediate value loss after driving a new vehicle off the lot(which I will admit, is mitigated a bit by invoice pricing). Sure I get the features I'm looking for, but I'm paying a premium for it(which nothing wrong with that if you can't find something that suits your needs).

If you are buying new, then color is high on the list, unless you dont care.
If you are buying used, then its the mechanicals, the options, then the color.

I'm shopping for my Jeep and one of the things that always comes up is color. You always see Black, White, Silver, and Grey as the most common options, with a lot less of the fun colors. Now I'm searching for a used vehicle so this applies more to a used vehicle where you can't just pick your desired color. Though I suppose it applies to new where maybe the color it totally out of stock(RIP Mojito). I'm curious what you all think about color selection: if the Jeep you're looking at has all the right choices, but the color isn't necessarily on your list, do you go for it?

For example: I was on the lookout for something fun, but I'm open, and found a Jeep I'm interested in that is Granite. While it's not my first choice, the price is right and it has all the features I'm interested in. Plus there is nothing a quick wrap or some decals can't change for a splash of color!

So what say you JL nation, how important is color to your vehicle selection?

very important I would say , if you are buying a new Jeep then it is entirely up to you what color you pick

Don't own one yet, but I would say it falls somewhere between mandatory and meh on your poll. Sure, I can repaint or wrap it, but I'd really rather not have to to get the color I want.

Fortunately, Punk'n is pretty close to what I'd like, so if I can make my decision in the near future, it should still be available.

To the OP, think about the following question and give yourself an honest answer...

"After I buy this, am I going to wish I had _____ color every single time I look at it?"

I feel like if you're even on here asking the question, the answer just might be yes.

From the perspective of color science, gray is a color. So are black and white. Black, white, and gray are all called neutrals, and they have a spectral curve which matches the light source. There is nothing else that distinguishes them from other colors, and if you change the light source, they're not neutral anymore. They're just ordinary colors like anything else.
