Gee, I never thought the existing system was all that tough or slow - goes pretty fast. Worst part is that stupid ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
Agreed. Once I get them out it's hard to get them back in without bending a pin. You don't know until you try to unlock the doors or adjust the passenger mirror from the driver's side.
I'm experiencing this and will, at some point take the connector off and inspect the pins. Come on, man

That's not even close to reign.
Reign is much deeper. That's too violet or fluorescent.

At least get the color close before not liking it!

For giggles, I did a quick PS of a Reign JT (for reference)...

Not even close! That's way off by several shades. Whew, my wife doesn't dare see that abomination.

wow, that's really off!
Reign is deeper.

Still off. That's too blue.

Reign is a really hard color to nail down, and even the photos from dealers and marketing just don't do it justice. Cameras don't seem to capture it well.

Digital camera sensors don't capture colors at the blue and violet end of the spectrum the same as the human eye, which is why these shades always seem off in photos.

The photos I posted were as close to the actual color as I've seen - and I had to pick among a number of photos of our own to get it right.

So I cherry-picked the photos I posted to match very closely to our actual Jeep. They are a good representation.
I've found the light really matters! Certain light - you just can't get a good photo. In our garage, it works pretty well.

For years I've taken photos of my wife's quilts and when we had our store, I did quilts and fabrics and posted on the web site I maintained - it was VERY difficult, even trying different cameras, to get some of those colors, exactly as you say. And - worse, if the colors are next to each other or certain other colors, it freaks out the camera and they appear very different. Some colors can't be accurately photographed if they are directly adjacent to certain other colors. Baffled me for a whiel until I figured out there was a pattern to it.

I also have the advantage of seeing the images people PS'd and posted, and looking right out the window at our own reign Jeep ;)
And - I sometimes go out to the garage and stare at it for a minute, it's such a cool color in person.

Yes Fathom was a limited color available around the beginning of Summer. I think you could order it for 3 maybe 4 weeks.
I would much rather have Fathom as a standard color than Hydro, I think it looks far better with the black grille than Hydro by a mile.

Soon as they offer Fathom in the 5.7L Hemi with a manual I'll think about buying it. Hear that Jeep??
