IF you ARE serious... Then picture yourself driving to the dealer or quick lube.
Awesome. Like.

When I have to order a WHITE vehicle for lack of a better option, then I know something is wrong.

Moreover, having seen the new forest green and winter chill colors in person now, I can confirm that they are not the answer to all our problems either.

Winter Chill, by the way, reminds me of Chrysler Sebring Blue... It LOOKS like blue when observed at an angle.

Sebring silver blue, to me, makes me think of a rental car... And the color is similar to my POS 2005 Chrysler Town & Country which was damn near the same color.

All I can say is this:

Black forest green will be so dark you won't know if it's green or black (or maybe it'll just be a boring green like on so many other vehicles)...worthless.

Gecko green will be straight out of The Fast and the Furious...worthless.

Cactus green better blow my fucking mind. That is all.

How did you see them in person? I'm confused?

I thought Cactus green was another name for Gecko..... Is it a separate color and if so why isn't it in the 2012 Mopar paint guide?

It looks a lot like any other forest green in person.

They need to bring Jeep Green, or a similar shade, back. Maybe a non-metallic version of it. Just something lighter and more natural than the current greens on offer.

Was Jeep Green just a poor seller or something?
