Midnight Sky

I was planning to weight for the new colors to come out, but as luck would have it our current car may not last that long. Anyone have any idea when the new colors will be available for ordering?

I heard probably late 2022 for 2023 models.

So frustrating. It’s paint!!! Hell, marketing could turn the option on in the build tool to determine interest.

You have one of the hottest cars on the market with an 8-bit color pallet.

I'm right there with you! Incredibly frustrating. I'm hopeful the Midnight Sky will be available mid-year. But I literally haven't heard anyone define "late availability" yet.

There is nothing we can do lol, trying to get new trailhawk and i cant even order it in any color 🤌

Jeep Cares obviously doesn’t “care”. I’m literally trying to give them $70k+ and I get nothing but crickets. So frustrating!!! It’s paint! I’m not asking for a new engine, or a hybrid. IT’S PAINT!!!

The supply chain issues that are stalling just about everything are also affecting paints and the pigments used to create them. Google “paint shortage 2021” (or 2022) for more.

One of the first hits I got was about blue paint in particular, from artistic to industrial.
Now supply-chain woes have come for the color blue

That's disappointing. Midnight Sky would be my first choice. I found one configurator image showing it on a WL, but it looks inaccurate (the configurators are terrible for color accuracy) compared to the Grand Wagoneers in Midnight Blue (which look closer to Chevy's dark blue):

If you didn’t tell me the top image has blue in it, I would think it’s just charcoal black picking up some blue-white color tones from the lighting.

Yeah, I think it's very dark blue, similar to Chevy's version, which basically looks black unless it's in direct sunlight. I really like it. BMW used to offer a similar color (Carbon Black Metallic) on M series cars, and it's really sharp. I haven't seen any non-marketing photos of the color yet anywhere, nor is it shown as an option on Jeep's site anywhere I can find, despite them announcing it as available on 2022 models.

If you look right at the areas surrounding where the direct sun is reflecting on it, though, you can see the blue tones in those images.
