Go see some in person and whatever catches your eye you'll know it when you see it what color speaks to you.
I was all gaga for the Anvil when it came out, looking online for pics and whatnot.., but when I went to the dealership to see it on a sunny day in person it looked different to me. Like a "battleship grey" and was kind of boring to me. At night it definitely looked cooler, some of the bluish-grey hue seems to pop more at night. I like COLOR. My 08 was red rock. I considered a black or white jeep but decided I might get "bored" with it. I really liked Billet, but I had a silver truck once and wasn't in love with it. Granite is a pretty badass color in person... had I waited another 6 months I might've grabbed that.
Anyways, saw a commando green and immediately said "that's my jeep" and took it home. Sometimes you just know
No matter what you decide, you're going to love your jeep!

I would take granite over red or white. I always try to consider what will be the easiest to maintain. Yea it's a Jeep but we all like to wash them now & then. But more than color I want the vehicle with options that interest me for the best price. Either way you go it's still going to be a good looking Jeep. Good Luck with your decision!!!

PS Yes, I've seen one in person. My buddy just finished working on one for a customer and I've been by his shop every few days to watch the build. The color is awesome and the dark gray/granite soft top option is bad a$$ with that color. Here are a few pics of the customer's ride... (these were taken by a camera phone with cloudy skies and the sun setting so sorry for the low quality)
Thanks for putting the pick up. And no worries about the clouds/sun cause I am interested in how they look in all situation.
Thanks to everyone else so far for all the input too. Lots of good stuff.

Your thinking too much into it. I went to the dealership, saw my 2dr white JK, and knew that was what I wanted. Once you start taking others opinions it gets too complicated. I would have been the same way if I knew about all these forums. Get what you like, that's why it's your Jeep! Let us know what you pick.

Very personal choice....and for me I really like a unique color....our JKU is Rescue Green it pops, and people (even non-jeepers) ask me about it.
If I was in the OP shoes....
1/ Granite
2/ Red
The Granite is a very cool unique color you don't see too much of.
What ever you choose....under the paint its all Jeep Wrangler....you can't loose

I love my bright red, I forget the jeep name for it...
My prior jeep was a medium bright yellow TJ, but the colors back then weren't as vivid as the current ones, and there were less choices, the 3 before that were all bright red!
