They figure the consumer demographic is different for the Challenger, i.e. younger, more “boy racer”. Chevy did a complete billion dollar or something overhaul to the Corvette paint shop to offer now 12 colors. Check out the boring color pallet offered for the C8 - because most C8 buyers will be ~60+ yr old white males.

I really like the F8 Green and Sinamon Stick colors…they’d look great on a Wrangler!

Indigo Blue is the same as Ocean Blue. F8 is too close to Sarge Green and Frostbite is probably too close to Hydro Blue. Sinamon Stick in real life looks like it came off of a 2002 Pontiac. Hellraisin isn't bad but Plum Crazy looks better.

Wrangler does it's own thing :) A lot of cool colors over the years.

Plum crazy is an amazing color. Would love to see that on the JL.

Have you seen F8 in person? It’s nothing like Sarge. F8 is a sage green with metal flake in it. A good shade or two lighter than Sarge, with more gray and less yellow. I like Sarge, but F8 is next-level.

Side note: A local guy in my town has an F8 Challenger with the license plate TEMPTF8.

My taste would tend toward something like a desert camo. If they offered a couple camo patterns like a (western) desert and a (eastern) forest, I think they'd sell like beer at a chili pepper festival.

I think mine is Indigo. They called it Ocean and it's beautiful.

I have a 392 on order (Sting Gray).

I found the lack of color options pretty disappointing. I also was disappointed the only interior color option is black.

Such is life. I too was wondering why they don't offer some the of the dodge colors palette. Heck, I wish we could get the Grand Cherokee colors. I like the Slate Blue....

I have been thinking of wrapping my JLUR since I got it 3 years ago. But the more I read, the less it sounds like a good idea. Basically, no premium manufacturer of vinyl film will warranty performance in southern California.

I desperately wanted a Jeep in the old Rhino color - kind of a grey/steel blue. I'm a sucker for a subdued blue hue.

I *almost* bought an '17 Rubicon nearby in Rhino, but they were asking $45K - basically the same as what I wound up paying for my factory-ordered '21 Sahara Altitude. No way I'm going to buy a 4-year-old vehicle when I can get a brand new one for the same price.
