Still reminds me of Pea soup and it's kind of making me hungry.

The colors tend to always look better in person, so I wouldn't be too judgmental until you've seen one on a lot. Looking at the Jeep website, you see that commando green looks totally different than the picture.

You need to take into consideration, lighting, camera settings, your computer monitor calibration settings, etc..etc..etc. All these things can add up to the color looking totally wrong.
Totally agree, the first time I saw a Gecko Green Jeep in a pic I was thinking it was too much but I just saw one in living color and it seemed fine.

The dealer by me just got a handful of 13's in and there was a True Blue Pearl Rubi and it looked awesome!

Hmm... I'm actually not sure if I like it.

I hated Gecko when I first saw it, but saw a 2 door with black roof/fenders and black after market rims and it looked bitchin! Wouldn't be my choice but still looked good.

Maybe this color will look better not stock.

Edit: I actually think this color looks a hundred times better color matched. The black accents don't work for me on it.

Damn....don't tell me that. Now I won't have any excuses left to trade my 2009 Deep water blue in on a 2013.

Man, I was thinking the complete opposite, but that's what makes the world go 'round.

I agree with the other comments that it has to be seen in person. These colors can be really tough to judge with all the variables of an online photograph.

It was on it's way to OD green, but it got stuck at pea green instead. We will see what it looks like in person, but it's probably not for me. I guess I'll just have to keep my Rescue Green instead of trading it in for a 13.

I absolutely hope you are right. Can't wait to see on in person.

I really don't like the silver letters on the commando green. It's the only thing silver on the whole jeep. Why don't they make the letters flat black to match the trim? The green looks awesome though!
