Test drove an Arctic package (silver) yesterday and got all kinds of looks but it is a 1 year package with limited numbers the selection is getting scarce and i decided a new Rubi might be in the picture

Actually this color has caught my eye....
If Jeep offers WC as an option in March, I'm visualizing how it would look in Rubicon trim with body color top and black fenders. Then you add this AEV hood painted as it is in this photo and it may be another awesome color combination. This color combo in this photo is probably the best I've seen yet.
If anyone has photoshop skills to whip up a few combinations in this color that would be great...

I like Winter Chill....but I wanted Sahara Tan (stopped after the first month of production for the 2012's) or Mango Tango (not offered for 2012's) as my first options.
I'm not a fan of the current color selection. I'm debating on Black Forest Green....which is basically black. But I may wait on Winter Chill in the non Arctic package.

Here's some info I searched via Google...
Car production worldwide affected by the tsunami in Japan, unclear in the long term
UPDATE: Ford and Chrysler has stopped taking orders for certain colors due to a shortage of Xirallic. The compound is supplied to paint companies, which are suppliers to the car companies. Xirallic was developed by the Japanese subsidiary of Merck KGaA, a Darmstadt, Germany based company unrelated to the Merck pharmaceutical company. The pigment that contains glass flakes to make paint shiny. Merck's Onahama plant suffered from some earthquake damage and lost electrical power and water. It is expected to take four to eight weeks to restart once access to the plant is possible. However, it is 45 km (28 mi.) from the Fukujima Daiichi nuclear reaction and within the evacuated exclusion zone.
Ford is having problems with certain shades of red and black while Chrysler is having supply problems with additional colors. The supply chain of parts is complex. While a certain supplier may not be in the affected area of Japan, some parts or components that the supplier uses are affected. This results in uncertainty for the automotive and other industries worldwide as the supply chain has increasing become more complex in recent years.
BMW, Toyota, and General Motors use Xirallic but have not yet announced paint supply problems.

Just an FYI, if you want to build your jeep goto the dealer and look at all jeep, dodge, ram and chrysler colors. Jeep will build it with any of these colors no questions asked. I can get pics to prove it, I'll post when I take one of my dads, he picked a dodge color (I think but could've been ram).
