I've seen a number of winter chills on lots in TX. The color looks fine, but I wish it was closer to a bluish silver (similar to silver ferraris). The light blue gets washed out by the black trim, which kinda defeats the color. Kinda hate that big black area on the hood, so I'm assuming that won't be on the other models when winter chill gets released on those.
Here is a better example
Also if you dont like the hood decal you could always take it off, or just swich out to a AEV hood which looks great with that color.

I'm planning to upgrade my JK with one of the AEV JK packages straight from the factory, so consider the hood done. I just need a base color, and I don't have a single blue or tan to choose from. Sucks but I'm sure they'll add colors mid year such as winter chill.

I'm in the market for a blue or tan, and I would be shocked if nothing were available in a few months. That would be terrible marketing on jeep's part.

My current 03 TJ is a khaki - one of my fav colors of all time. I've been watching the JK colors knowing that I was going to get one as soon as they dropped the pentastar in there. Then they go and drop the tan and all the blues. I mean WTF chrysler. Get your heads out of your rears.

As soon as they offer the winter Chill in a rubicon package, I'll jump in. Heck if they would offer a tan, od green or a grey I
would order one. Really don't understand the 2 reds and 2 orange logic.

I have seen winter chill in person....it is too soft of a blue for me. But I would never go for one of the sorta silly packages like the arctic psckage anyhow but if i did i would get the white color and ditch the stickers. The winter chill is not a "fun" as cosmos blue but looks way better than deepwater blue though.
I would like to see steel blue again.... The best blue on a jeep to date IMHO.

BS - couldn't agree more re: Steel Blue. A silvery blue is the best color of all time, IMHO. That's the closest Jeep has ever come to the blueish silver on the Ferarri 308 GTS:
