BLACK! It may get dirty quicker and make scratches more visable, but it's just bada$$. Jeeps are meant to get dirty!

Had this same dilemma a couple weeks ago when buying my new JK. I'm not a fan of any of spectrum colors on my own vehicles, but I do like seeing colors on other's rides. So basically this boils down to black, white, gray, or silver for me. Really can't go wrong with any of those four choices IMO. In the end I went silver this time around. I agree with some of the others here that black looks best/meanest, but it's also the most pain in the ass to maintain. If mine wasn't a daily driver, I probably would've went black. The silver looks fantastic though.

PS: If Jeep Jeep ever offered a matte black or matte battleship gray from the factory, I'd be first in line to order one.

i'd like to see some matte colors as well, that would be awesome. unfortunately i can't see that ever becoming a factory option.

black looks good when is shiny and clean, but on the trail IMO when dusty it usually looks pretty bad, like an old beat up jeep.

Default Color options

Black and silver are for a Bentley. Jeeps should be bright colors or Earth tones. It stinks they only offer the khaki top on the Sahara. I really wanted my Rubi in Jeep green with a khaki hardtop and interior.

I wonder why. Everyone I talk to absolutely loves the idea and the look of matte. The no nonsense, anti-bling, raw industrial style of matte seems so well suited for the Jeep vs other vehicles. I think it would be a homerun if they did it. Imagine a matte black/battleship gray Jeep equipped with a Hemi from the factory.

I agree with the basic sentiment of the responses. My black rubi looks bad a$$ when clean. But it's a pain to keep it looking sharp. Silver is more low maintenance.

While I love my blacked out Rubi, I hate that every pinstripe jumps out at you.
Silver and White are very forgiving colors.
