Ok, time for me to give more visual ideas on colors! I started by seeing what the JT looked like with the TJ colors, after that I did the same with the JL colors we cannot currently get on the gladiator, then I tried to replicate the color of the TJ tan (spice) hard top. Official colors will be listed where applicable, take a look!:

The first two are inspired by Pink Jeep Tours of Sedona Arizona!

Concepts for custom paint job:

This version has more blue:

Patriot Blue (TJ):

Ocean Blue (JL):

Hydro Blue with tan top:

Bikini (JL):

Forest Green (TJ):

Mojito! (JL):

Solar Yellow (TJ)

Hellayella (JL):

Punk'n Orange:

Firecracker Red:

Flame Red (TJ):

Hydro Blue was a JK color. We know exactly what it looks like.

@MirMir Thanks, the purple was done as a concept for custom paint. Haven't decided if there is too much blue in it.

@LongTimeListener Any of the Gladiator factory colors that were posted include the tan top, to give an idea of what they would look like with it instead of the black or body matching paint.

Also, I was in a rush to post it due to an appointment, but I had intended to show HellaYella with the black hardtop as well due to it currently only being available on the JL, I'll add it in when I get home.

"Rainbow post" updated with the alternate purple I'm toying with, the one origionaly posed being the one with more blue in it. Also added the blacktop for Hellayella.

Does anyone else here besides me wish the gladiator was offered in all of the same colors as the JL (and vise-versa)? If I had a choice and were ready to buy today, I'd want to pick the darker shade of blue, referred to as Ocean Blue, as apposed to the the tone we get, Hydro Blue if I had the option to do so. How about the rest of you, would you like to see a factory JL color on the Gladiator that isn't on our choice list?

If they had Purple or Mojito, I'd create another poll on which to get

The thing is though, the Gladiator pretty much is a Wrangler in every way except the model name, especially if you consider the whole Scrambler evolution concept, so it feels like this should be an exception to that idea.

The Gladiator is certainly not a Wrangler in every way except the model name. They are two very different vehicles that happen to share some commonality in components, but painting the Gladiator with a broad brush like that is misleading. So being as they are two different models it makes sense to have two different sets of color options with some commonality between the two (e.g. Punk'n, Billet Silver, etc.). It would had been nice if we were offered some variant of Deep Beryl Green and Copperhead Pearl.

Let's not forget that before the model name was revealed, that's exactly what people were referring to it as, a Wrangler pickup. The way I see it, the JT is to the JLU as the JLU is to the JL, with a 5 foot box on the back instead of enclosed cargo storage, which could end up being true anyway with an appropriate shaped hardtop. From what I've gathered so far, everything from the rear doors forward is identical to the JLU. With the exception of the expanded grille mesh, which could easily be applied to a JL.

@Elanachan - Really nice renderings! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Elanachan]

@JeepDreams - Thanks! what are your favorite colors?

 

[JeepDreams]

Loved my Rescue Green Wrangler. Otherwise I'm a turquoise or periwinkle girl.

And since those aren't available, I went with Firecracker Red.

 

[futzin']

Love the Solar Yellow, personally.

I don't disagree that Wrangler pickup is fitting, but there are quite a few differences between the two. The cab behind the front seats is completely new. The cab on the outside is completely different as well.

The big noticeable difference are the axles. JL Sport and Sahara have d30 front/d35 rear axles, with only the rubi getting D44s front and rear. The JT has D44s front and rear, with the Rubi getting lockers.

I do like your color charts. Would have liked a yellow myself, or punkin, but I wasn't waiting so went red. Mojito would have been nice too.

My TJ was Patriot blue and I wish they offered it on the Gladiator
