There's an orange Compass (Sunburst?) in my neighborhood and it's not a bad color. The surf blue at the dealer on the Patriot looks good too, but this is Florida and the color is a natural here.

I'm still in love with the old Saturn blue-black color though. Black that glistened in midnight blue in the sun.

I'd hate to see the Jeep brass ditch Rescue Green...not my color, but it's something different that screams 'Jeep' to me. I wasn't overly impressed with the selection... more like picking the 'least disliked' rather than the fave.

No offense, but while this thread is about what folks would like to see Jeep offer, has anyone here asked the obvious question: If you really, REALLY want these colors, find a good bodyshop and do something custom??? Now THAT would look cool...

Bright Silver and Silver Metallic?? WTF?? Any need for 2 silvers. I'm not dumping on the silvers because I own one but I would have liked to see them do something different & bright. More Signature "Jeep" colors. Brighter blue, Orange, Rescue Green.

Personally, I would LOVE to see them make a Gun Metal/Charcoal. That would ROCK....

Out of all the colors available now, I like Rescue Green the most.. especially on the X or Rubicon with the black fender flares and stuff. That's what I'll be getting when I order mine

I just want to see straight Olive Drab with a clear coat. Olive drab is where it all started. Keep the heritage alive.

Of course they would ruin it by adding metallic flakes.

Looks like that isn't going to happen. I don't think Rescue Green is being offered anymore.
I love my rescue green, the color is one of the main reasons I waited so long to get my JK. I still smile every time I get into her, and I love that Rescue Green is now a limited single year offering... like a collectors edition!
