I think what some Jeep owners go through after purchasing their Jeep in their chosen color is a thing called "Color Envy".

I LOVE my Bikini Pearl JLUR, but when I see Punkin' or Mojito, "Color Envy" kicks in. I immediately begin to question my Bikini color choice.

Then I have to remind myself that if I had chosen Punkin' or Mojito I'd be regretting not getting Bikini!

I've come to the conclusion that I can still *love* all the great colors that Jeeps come in without having to *have* all those colors.

I totally understand this post! When I was buying my wife her new Jeep, they had 2 identically equipped Rubis, one in Bikini and one in Punk'n. I really preferred the Punk'n but it was for her, so I bought the Bikini...but it that Punk'n...I couldn't get it out of my mind.
So I went back next week and bought that for myself!

I LOVE my punk’n Rubi. The bikini is nice to see once in a while but I have zero color envy.

We also had his and hers unfortunately the Bikini was totaled in an accident and was replaced by the Gecko.

My sister has a Bikini JLU. She put Rubicon take offs on it. Damn good color for a Jeep. Reminds me of a similar color used in the 60s on CJs.

I REALLY liked Bikini when it came out. But I must admit it hasn’t aged well. Looks dated now.

I like Hydro Blue much better; is a more timeless color. Looks especially good with the bronze accents.

I don't know if it's my eyes or monitor but bikini on a monitor looks nothing like real life. Seems far more teal in the wild. I first saw Hydro on a Gladiator. As it goes, the rest is history.

The bikini color looks different, depending on the lighting. Here's ours as seen with two different light sources.
