A white 4wd would be the sensible choice, but they are so bland and look like....



'Silver' is just a tarted up grey

I know black is very popular but can't think of a single reason to have one except an attempt to look cool - which backfires in my opinion.

But if the deal is good enough it doesn't really matter what colour it is.
I nearly didn't buy my Jeep because it was dark green (wanted a white one).
Dark Green is a bad colour choice too but everything else ticked the boxes so colour became much less important and I ended up with it for which I have been thankful ever since - despite the short-comings of the colour.

White or silver.

I have Cosmos Blue and it doesn't show the 'everyday grime' much at all But I'm pretty sure that's a Jeep specific colour

Mine is white and even when dirty, it looks quite clean.

Will have to disagree with commen about them looking bland and all the same. Not hard or expensive to make it look great and different....

Mine the seemingly common metallic dark green. It shows up dirt like nothing else and don't even get me started on scratches. She sure looks a little worse for wear than the day I picked it up.

You can buff them out with special polish designed for metallic. Only downside is it is over $100 a bottle and hard to find. My mate has some and was gonna polish to scrub scratches out for me on my Jeep after Jambo, just never got around to it before I left SA....
