Gecko and other colors
This site below is fun to play with and already shows some 2013 colors for Challenger and Charger like Sublime Green (close to Gecko but is a different paint code) and Plum Crazy, which I like a lot.

Color Codes - Jeep Paint Cross-Reference - page 7 of 7
My dealer will only order a Gecko colored Sport (in early February, or whenever available to order) for stock in order to see what it looks like before they'll order a more expensive Rubicon as potential stock in the Gecko color. They won't order a Rubicon to my specs and then let me decide if I like the color because they don't want a Rubicon in a questionable color sitting on their lot if I don't take it. So I may not get to see the Gecko color on the actual vehicle until the middle or end of March. Ouch.

Gecko and other colors
Estimated time to be able to order Wranglers in Gecko Green color has changed from early February to mid-February. Jeep representative thought the Gecko color looks similar to the green on the Kawasaki bikes. In 2012 the Kawasaki color is called Candy Lime Green and looks pretty good.
As an aside, best guess is Volcano Edition may be officially announced in February/March. Other than the name, the only current information is that it will be available on Sahara. My hope is that it is available in Detonator or Stinger yellow (lava flow is bright yellow among other colors).

Good thing everyone does not like same color or this would be a boring hobby. Personally think bright colors make the jeep a little sportier looking box.

Gecko is still on track to be available to order early February. Hoping it looks very near like the Kawasaki motorcycle.
Also heard the Arctic Edition is no longer available to order. But good news for you Winter Chill people, the Winter Chill should be available to order in early March. Saw Winter Chill and there is just enough blue coming through to not to appear more silver than blue, if that makes sense.
