Ocean Blue Metallic was my first love on the JL. My disappointment when I was finally in a position to order in '22 and it not being available anymore was palpable, but at this point I wouldn't trade Hydro for anything. I equate it to "high school crush" vs. "love of your life" at this point. That said, who doesn't wonder how things would have turned out if they had a chance with their crush? ;)
both those blues are really really nice. i would have considered either one....

if jeep offered 3 colors White, silver and gray I would be totally happy. I have owned 3 white, one gobie and a silver and I kind of wish I went with white again this time around......
What makes you prefer white?

when I ordered my first jeep in 2018 i thought i wanted ocean blue. i reallly really liked that color, but when i saw it in person it changed to purple a lot. thankfully the dealer i looked at had damn near every color that was offered. Then i was really confused lol. The day i ordered mine, was a cloudy day and i test drove a 6spd. i saw the orange and loved it, decided that was what i wanted. I like the military type colors but personally ive always liked the skittles colors on jeeps. Life has a strange way of working out, Punkn came back, and the opportunity to order my 2023 presented itself and i jumped on it. I seriously think i would have held onto the 19 if Punkn hadnt come back and just changed the clutch. what did piss me off was the color was a 9xx option on the 23 and was less then 500 i think on the 19. The only other color i would seriously have considered was the Snazzberry. i love that shade of red.

as far as new colors, i would love to see a wrangler in Inferno Orange, like was on the corvette for a few years, and Toyota has on their trucks. Its a gorgeous heavy pearl orange. other then that i wish they would come up with some other colors other then grey grey and grey.
Looks like their creativity to me is very...grey ?

I love my Gobi. So glad I took advantage of the 6ish weeks that it was offered. While it never would have been the same as Gobi, I do love Snazzberry and Mojito as other colors.

Man if they had this color I'd also be happy...I feel that apart from bikini pearl and Earl there is nothing unique and popping right now with Jeep colors...

yeah they are pretty stagnant with the colors. Anvil would be my go to right now. Seen it in person and it’s really nice. Nothing special that pops out from the rest but would be my color without a doubt if I ordered today.

I really liked Gobi when I first bought it but after a couple months I was wishing I had gotten white.

About $8k or so, depending on where you live. That would be door jambs, under the hood, etc. And that would be for an average quality collision center paint job.

If you want to get one painted a different color or wrap it, starting with a black one is the way to go. You could get by with not painting the firewall, roll bar, etc. Black goes well with everything.

Nacho people speak up. I was lucky that when I needed a Jeep in 2019 they had a 2018 Nacho JLU at the dealer as a loaner with only 5000 miles. I don't drive much, only 36K miles, but it is a mile and a half to the nearest maintained road. I have had no issues except for the battery. Would love to see the 2025 in Nacho and my daughter is watching for a Punk'n comeback.

I'm happy with my Sting Gray. If I was ordering today I'd go with Anvil. I love seeing different colors of Jeeps while driving. Everyone has their preference. I wish there was a Brown JL, I think it would look sharp/classic. Also love this blue...
If either of these colors became available, I would strongly consider ordering.

My first Jeepster (68) was that color brown. Not sure if it was from the factory or re-painted but it's a definite match.
