Scout Color Poll #1

[Scoutsie]

Oh I understand! No worries. I'm just saying they'll probably need to call it something else now.

True: we have an awful lot of naturally-occurring organisms to refer to that are on brand for a rugged tough guy outdoor vehicle to refer to as a color scheme that have 21st century sensitivity. There’s wheat. There’s goldenrod. There’s corn. There’s the dang sunrise. There are various ores and minerals and whatnot. There’s an art director who is surely on top of coming up with appealing, less-exploitative names for yellow.

I like Maize. Sounds like older names to your earlier color reference but nobody can cry foul

With modern wraps, if the Scout dealership can offer a dealer installed wrap…..acting as paint protection, but also endless colors for under $5,000 that would be a MEGA win for all.

For those who aren’t aware of wrap costs, they used to be $3,000 for a quality wrap, now in 2024…..$6,500 is the price, meaning that unless someone is a business (as businesses can write off wraps in taxes as “advertising”) or truly HATES the vehicle color, most would not bite.

However, $5,000 for a warrantied wrap financed into the vehicle when buying could be a more viable option.

I think we threw that discussion around early on -on one of the threads. I remember Jamie chimed in but don’t recall where that ended as discussions go

No decisions this far out on offering factory wrap services, but we'll pass the suggestion along to our teams.

We can just call it Snowflake Glitter.

It took Ford way too long to offer Heritage colors on the Broncos. Not until third year in. Granted the color schemes in 1962-1963 were pretty tame and many may not translate well to modern tastes.

I like my car colors intense and shiny, like ford’s “eruption green”, Mazda’s “soul red crystal”, or Porsche’s “gentian blue metallic“. Anything but battleship gray. And for heaven’s sake, if you’re planning to buy me a vehicle for Xmas, no matte paint. Who needs the extra hassle?

Gotta dream

I've always been a big fan of the color choices that Porsche offers from British Racing Green to Light Blue Metallic-reminds me of Brittany Blue.

A bold color I like right now is the Nitro Yellow Metallic on the Zr2 Bison.

Since the videos show some color samples for the new vehicles and we are hopeful that dark copper is going to be an option can we see the suv release model in the copper? I know it’s late and me asking doesn’t mean diddly but I’d love to see the suv in the copper tone or the modern version of the original Scout copper shade. The the pick up could be a shade of blue that mimics the early original blue color

Was grabbing gas today when this old beauty pulled in. Grabbed a pic because I thought the green was a great tone. Not sure if it’s an original corvette color but in the sun (and shade) it looked really good. I could see it on the new Scout(s)

Porsche and BMW have some gorgeous blues. BMW Marina blue and Snapper Rocks blue (M4). Porsche Riviera blue (918).

Still love this shade of orange. I know I’ve posted it before but just think it’s the perfect orange

 

[MMH]

No need for black, white and silver... too many already. If I could have voted for same more than once - two Butters and one Sky Blue.

I'll throw out a crazier one. I'm getting closer to painting my Scout and have decided to go with a little inspiration from my Kayak. I'm looking at a darker blue gray, with some orange highlights and blacked out trim/accent pieces.

Hope they offer the dark blue gray color on a Scout model with orange accents. I’d be very tempted to buy one of those

Saw a Hinda GRV today in sunlight and caught my eye. Color is called Nordic forest green. I found an image online bit with a Scout like shape and a white or light gray roof I think this would be a great green/blue-gray color. Kind of a modern take on a vintage color
