What's wrong with Deep Molten Red? I personally wouldn't mind a red that doesn't grab gobs of attention... (There is irony in the SRT-8 Running from the Cop though lol)



Oh and if Dune turns out to be Saddle Brown, I will barf and think Gecko Green was the greatest color ever made.

You can see the statistics here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ough-the-Years

Based on everything we know, I'm guessing the 2013 color palette will look something like this:

Carry-over Colors:
Black
Flame Red
Bright White
Bright Silver
Black Forest Green
Dozer

NEW Colors:
Dune (dark tan) [rumored]
Molten Red (think dark lava red) [rumored]
TBD Blue (likely dark) [no blue available right now; dark blue would fit with an Earth tone palette]
Jeep Green [a WAG, but would fit with Earth tones and would be popular among Jeepers]

GONE:
Winter Chill [ordering already closed]
Gecko [possibly dropped mid-year]
Deep Cherry Red [replaced by Molten]
Crush [replaced by Dune]

Check back in June to see how accurate this is. I may be completely full of it, but this is the best I can put together based on some statistics, rumors, and filling in the blanks.
Just revisiting this post since we now know what 2013 colors will look like. Didn't do too bad!

Dune? Check.
Dark Blue? Check (True Blue).
Earth-tone Green? Check (Commando).

Gecko and Crush are indeed going away after early 2013 availability, so I'll give myself half credit for that.

I was wrong about reds. Deep Cherry is staying and Flame Red is being replaced by Rock Lobster. Go figure.

I also didn't see Bright Silver being replaced by Billet.

I've had way to many dark blue and black vehicles.

I like the Deep Cherry, but was hoping for something new. Crush is interesting too but I cant
get too excited about any of the colors here.

Hello guys,

Is the Billet Silver Metallic that is on Jeep's website a new color for 2013 models?

Thanks,
G
