Passed one of these Chevy Volts today on the highway. Their orange/copper color was sharp and really stood out!

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
These are two photos from my family albums. My uncle is even holding a 1964 sign up... I always LOVED this green. I think you have to offer something a touch darker than the sage green...but it's got to be a solid color. Not metallic. The blue, on the '76 is a little too 1970s for me...but a bluish grey also needs to be offered, IMHO. Hope all enjoyed seeing Scouts from the time they were originally out there working in the world.
Love that gray-green color. I think that’s the color the Bronco cactus gray should be. Similar in color to the duck commander Scout that’s posted on the media area. Great photo-just told my wife we should have always taken a photo with our new cars so we had a record/history some day. My dad had a 58 Chevy convertible-seafoam green and white and only one photo exists. Oh how I wish he would have hung on to that car over the years.
Like both those greens but I don’t know if I could daily drive them. @Harris005-i have an auto detailer near me that has a very new BMW 3 series custom painted in a similar lemon/lime color I know BMW now has a lemon/lime color but this one is even brighter and I think it has to be pearl-maybe it’s a wrap). I stare at it every time they have it out. It looks amazing but still not sure I could drive it as a daily.
I still like the acid army green color Jeep offered like 8 years ago(?). Those metallic greens always look good. Especially with a white top. I think the dark green on the new Bronco missed the mark a bit but I know lots of people like it too
None of the above! I vote for a remake of 2027 Red, a CT399 special color used on a '79 CVI special model. I call it "Salsa Red." It's gorgeous!
We will let the design team know just for you Jim.
This is electric lime green. It foes look good in person but needs the right blend of complimentary colors. IMO it looks good on the TRD but not the sport. Same color but the TRD has red and black throughout where the sport doesn't.This Toyota truck color caught my eye today! It is fair to say these pictures don't do it justice. It was pretty SHARP in the sunlight!

Thought this might be interesting to this thread. I created it a few years ago for the Scout80800s FB page. Fun fact: Red was the only color available on all 80* models. It ain't getting much love in the current poll, though! 
I’m going to request Apricot change to Sunset. Otherwise I read them again and you did a great job. Eucalyptus is a maybe for me. Not quite gray enough-feel a tropical name might appeal to coastal buyers and beach lovers. Is Caribbean or Lagoon too obvious?
I definitely want to see retro color options in the mix, the same as the original though- not just reminiscent of original colors.
I am partial to 1980 Copper.
Chevy Orange is fairly close
Yellow is also good!
Interesting factoid about the Winter White color. I had the top painted Winter White on Sydney. The painter told me he almost didn't follow the recipe for Winter White because he thought he would add too much Blue. He followed the recipe and remarked how he liked the color with the amount of Blue added.
Stay away from the drab colors.
Go vibrant, vivid and bright!

Copper is GOOD. I think a lot of us were happy when Jamie added the Copper color to his color poll. Great Scout
