People tell me "buy a red one, it's safer, less likely to be hit". HAHAHA, LOL - uh, no. My 95 F250 4x4 was .......... RED.
Got backed into, another time a women on the right lane while I was in the left beside her changed lanes right into me - she had to see that big impressive RED 4x4 next to her little white Hyundai... rippled the entire side of her car. Another time a person merged onto the interstate almost right into me while I was towing my RED IH F20 tractor behind my RED 4x4 pickup....... naw, red doesn't matter.

I don't mind red, I just want something different. Besides, I already have a beautiful red 4x4 .......... oriental red is the color. And my 73 Javelin is a sort of deep red in a way, so I don't need another red vehicle. I like it, but..........

I have a red sort of Jeep - the father to the Jeep unibody Cherokee, and with a Jeep engine, the mighty 4.0 engine, T5 transmission, New Process 219 transfer case. It now even has black YJ door handles! It's truly the father to the modern unibody Jeep.
And it's a RED SPORT model.

Red is supposedly the most often color of vehicle stolen and crashed, according to my insurance agent when I was shopping around for ins. Grey is the least stolen

Well I know now mine is actually blue - got another email saying there was a change with VIN xxxxxxx and shows "sticker found" but when I click it says sorry you did not win, please play again.
Ugh - now that I have sold my Silverado - I'm truckless - I can't remember the last time I was that way.

Frankly, after seeing the photos posted here I think they are all fine colors.
I have my preferences but can't say any of them in my OPINION stink at all. This vehicle wears them all well.

Right now it's blue with white - SNOW.......... on a truck sitting somewhere between Toledo and Des Moines

Anyway, the most common or popular color according to those who track such things (and sell color, I guess) is WHITE. That's in the USA and the rest of the world except Europe where gray beat out white this time.
White, black, gray and silver in North America with blue moving up 2 percentage points to 10 percent ahead of red at 9 percent. Brown/beige (2 percent), green (1 percent), yellow/gold (1 percent) and orange (1 percent) rounded out the top 10.

Here's a good one - I was visiting my daughter in law and grandson in Korea - my son went with as he took a couple weeks vacation to go be back with his family a while..... anyway, my wife and I were walking Anson, my 5 year old grandson, back to their apartment from school one afternoon and suddenly he pointed and exclaimed - Look! A blue car!
Yeah, it's so uncommon to see anything other than white silver or gray (or black) over there, a blue car caused a 5 year old to shout out about it. Just imagine if he'd seen a green or orange one!

Any thoughts on when they will change the colors for the Gladiator? Not that there's anything wrong with what they have, just curious.

That's pretty much what it's like here. One day I noticed I was driving and I was surrounded by about 20 white and gray cars for 100 miles! I also noticed going the opposite direction it was very similar. White and Gray. Nothing else but my Orange 4Runner

I've seen my share of 4Runners but have to say I've never seen one in orange.

Purchased Gladiator Rubicon 10 31 19
I think the votes will be skewed some due to the way they released the colors. Naturally black/silver/red/white will top the lsit because they were released first. Orange and hydro will be small in numbers because they just came out....
Ordered a Blue on Oct 31st

WOW - I'm REALLY in the minority here!
My choice of blue is third from the BOTTOM - people like even black and white better (fit right in in Korea where all cars are black, white or gray) and mine is likely the only blue Overland in the whole forum!
