Due to the pandemic, my wife and I have been doing a lot of "drive up" shopping and restaurant pickup. On the apps it usually asks the make/model and color of the vehicle. We write in "green jeep truck", but some people don't see us when they come out, because the lighting at the time makes it gray or brown.
So what color is it? Browgreyeen? Greeownay? Anybody else have this issue? What color do you see the most?

Does it let you type it or is it a color swatch picker? Tell them it looks like a military paint job, not OD green or desert tan, like an OD hummer and tan deuce and half mated and your truck is the result of that.

I had a similar issue with my Commando Green JKU (best colour) people called it anything from baby poo brown to guacamole.

I own a Gator JT. It is certainly an odd shade of green. I love it.
The most accurate description I've heard is Pond Scum, lol.
The dealer I bought it from had printed 'Brown' on the owners packet, prolly to differentiate from Sarge that was rumored at the time. Gator looks so good in the woods!

The Gator color is an indescribable concoction of the best colors known to man, swirled around together, and utilized on the most worthy of Gladiators. Gator exists to establish dominance amongst the ranks of lesser Gladiators and their owner's color choice.

It’s more of an Olive to my eyes but I have seen some pond scum that it resembles. Out here in the desert southwest it’s rarely cloudy and most of the time Gator appears more brownish than green.
I’ve seen a ton of internet ads where it looks like Gobi until you read the description.
Whatever it is I like it.

The pond scum reference rings true although most ponds in Florida trend to be darker. Chick fil normally marks my bag as green.

I have a sting gray but I love the gator color too. I have seen one around town and it always makes me turn my head.

Not sure what kind of deadass pond scum yall are looking at.

At my parents place we got that healthy phosphorous phed pond scum. Looks like gecko green.

But If'n I hear yall call it pond scum, well then I'll be right cross.
