Would you buy a Lambent Earth colored JL?

Apparently brown is gonna be big for automotive paints next year. The ”color of the year” is something called Lambent Earth. I’d consider it.

Personally? No, probably not because I like other options better, but I do think it's a nice color for a Jeep.

That is a lot of different shades for one image!

Would have to see it in person. 2013 you could get a Rugged Brown on the JK and it looked good on certain trims. They brought it back in 2015 I think it was, it was a completely different color and not as appealing.

Reminds me of the two word review for this album.

No. I don't like browns or tans at all on vehicles.

Would I? No. When I saw Billet Silver in person, there was no other color I wanted. Nothing has tempted me away, yet.

I would like to see a return of the old forest green with tan top, however. I fell in love with that color on the YJ's, and I'm pretty sure it continued on the TJ's. I don't think I have seen it, since.

I can't make an informed decision from a photo that reveals just a tease of a new color with lighting that intentionally flatters. The saccharine ad copy isn't doing "Lambent Earth" any favors, either.

That said, this new key color could be a pleasant surprise when seen in person, on a vehicle that interests us. Done right, it would be the correct shade for a proper retro Wrangler build (just slapping a set of wagon wheels on and calling it done isn't enough.)

The description of the color is more distasteful to me than the color itself. I would need to see a full representation of the color on a vehicle before I would say if I liked it or not. Some browns hues look good.

More solid colors, less "luxury" paint. Pearl and tri-coats belong on luxury cars.

How about Magpul Flat Dark Earth. Or Cerakote Burnt Bronze. Now those would look good on a Jeep!

My jeep looks like that color after it rains in certain parts of east and west TX.

So is this the 2021 version of late 90's Mystic?

YES Forest Green and Tan was the best!! Black and Tan a close second. Buddy of of mine in High School had Green/Tan in hard top CJ7 with a 305 that jeep was fun

Man.....I miss my Forest green with tan top Sahara TJ. Had the green and tan seats too.

I would have to see how it looks on a JLUR first. I prefer subdued earthy colors and this sounds interesting, Just have to see it.
