So, latest rumor I read on another board is Cosmos Blue is paint code PB4, which is also know as "Daytona Blue Metallic." That means it could look like this (which is quite similar to that TVR pic):

I don't think that the Jeep website is all that far off on the colors. Well, maybe the mango tango is a little off. It looks too "tomato soupy" for my liking. Deep Water Blue and Surf Blue look pretty close to the real thing. Here is Cosmos Blue, I kind of like it...

I agree if it's anything like on the site....But like you say the Mango is way off, so I really don't know!


I'm really hoping it's close to the color of my last car....



Or even something like my bike...




Yeah, I know! Gotta thing for blue

That looks much more realistic, I never thought to check the Unlimited page. This is the weird color the regular Wrangler page puts up, much different than the sample square:

I was pissed when I went into my dealership and was told there was no longer a deep water blue for '11. He showed me the colour of the 2dr cosmos blue and I was ok with it, but after seeing the pic of the unlimited, i like it even more, hope its a darker blue than a lighter one!

Don't go by the Jeep site. They've got black, silver, and white correct. The others are all off. What they use for deep cherry red appears to be the unaltered photo of flame red from 2007. What they use for the flame red representation looks like it was colored by my nephews on Microsoft Paint.

As for the paint code, I've found the codes for every color except cosmos blue.

So, finally today when I search autotrader for new cars, they are showing 24 Cosmos Blue's available across the country (there were zero yesterday). Unfortunately, all of them include "stock photos" of other colors, but at least they are showing up. Closest to me is 900 miles away. Hopefully those dealers will get out the camera and snap some pics (or a JK Forum member...)

I did find this:
