What color is Dark Khaki

So when you see a dark khaki KJ, what color do you see? My sister-in-law thinks it is charcoal. I've always thought it was a deep greenish brown. If the light is just right I see forest green. Maybe it's the pearl coat playing tricks on me but what color do you see?

I see the same color as mine

I just tell people that it is dark. How do you describe it?

Khaki means mud in the Zulu language. So dark greenish brown is probably right. Which brings me to another point... Khaki is a color, chino is a style of pants. you can buy khaki chinos, but you cannot buy black khakis! :roll:

Ditto. Although light Khaki is a close second, especially in the summer

Funny story... I ordered mine by pointing to the color I wanted on the dlr lot. Paid and came by to pick it up. Out rolls a brownish/greenish KJ. I take one look at it and say "That's not the one I wanted. Mine is greener!" Dlr says, "It says Khaki on your invoice. That's what we got you plates for!" I say "I don't care what my invoice says, I pointed to a greener one and I'm not taking that one!"

Turns out there was a Khaki one sitting next to a Cactus one when I picked it out. I wanted the cactus one, they wrote up the Khaki one. When we discussed it there was enough similarity in the color names that we were each talking about a different color and neither of us realized it. The thing that put it in my favor was the fact that I indicated the Renegade package and the Khaki one didn't have it while the Cactus one did. Needless to say, I got the 03 Cactus Rennie I wanted.

Hey tokyo, does light khaki have have crushed pearl like the dark khaki?

Why would you want crushed pearl. A whole pearl has more value.

I wouldn't know if it did or not. When I got mine new, it seems to have a differnt type of shine to it than a basic color shade.

dark khaki = awesome

thats the color i wanted for sure, but when you buy used, you dont always get that much choice. especially because d. kahki is a bit of a rare color methinks.

There's a dealer in Dayton with an '06 Dark Khaki Renegade if you are looking for a used one :wink:

(and don't you dare buy that lemon...)

yeah, ill stay away from that one thank you very much...

I see a BRIGHT yellow bumber! Is there really a Jeep in that pic? :lol:

I got lucky when I got mine they had just put a D. Khaki KJ on the lot when I went to buy. I'll have to agree with the dark greenish brown.

jerbacher · **Posted:** Mon May 21, 2007 10:07 am

I think I'd have to argue that its greenish brownish grey. The color is pretty neutral to actually be considered brown or green...[/b]

One of the issues with Computer photos is that they change based on the screen you're looking at - at home that photo was almost dark brown - at work it's much lighter....

The crushed pearl / pearlescent colors are intended to refract light and give a slightly differnt color depending on the intensity and direction of the light, so it could look green under the right light.

- at any point - it looks good - I like the yellow bumpers too.

When I went out to buy a KJ I told them that I wanted pretty much any other color than Dark Khaki. In 05, it was the only color that they charged extra for and I certainly didn't want to pay extra for a color.

But the only one outfitted the way I wanted it was the Dark Khaki one. After I talked them down far enough to not care if they were charging me for the color or not...I fell in love with the color.

A lot of pictures make the color look charcoal (dark grey). But it's really much more of a nice dark brown with a hint of green in it. Cool color.

I think it's about the only color of auto you can't classify with one of few primary colors. It tends to look alot more green right after a wash. I would be interested to see the colors that go into formula.

jerbacher · **Posted:** Mon May 21, 2007 5:41 pm

I really, really wanted that color...
