It's absolutely personal preference. Some don't like all the white and black "panda" effect my jeep has but it pops and Shes mine. Having a maroon jeep would drive me nuts. also the murdered out look that a lot of guys want where the tires wheels body window and top are all black with zero contrast is not appealing to me at all but I've yet to have one knock on my door to ask my approval. A lot of higher end exotic cars are starting to come in these less mainstream muted colors. As with any jeep, it will look better when it's not bone stock....
Full Disclosure: I just brought home my Anvil Sport on Friday. I've loved the color since I first saw it on a 10a at a local lot.
I love the contrasting look with the black hard top and the black fenders. I'm of the option that the painted tops and fenders were just too much (to be fair, I don't like that look on any jeep)
Everyone that I've shown my Jeep to says they love it. I really think Jeep hit it out of the park with this color option.....it gives the look that Commando Green was supposed to do, but never could quite seem to capture with people (Not knocking Commandos, just making the point that the color never really seemed to take off with anyone other than hardcore Jeepers).
Whether you love or hate it, Anvil is going to be a popular color going forward.
I want to differentiate mine from all the 10A's out there and trying to decide on wheels. Seen some 10A's modified with black wheels and the color looks good but wondering how it will look with silver or argent wheels.
Also trying to decide on an accent color other than red that will go with the Anvil.

I was out on the bike tonight and was riding behind a 10a. This color is so much better in person! And I definitely like it with the red accents! Also I normally prefer the black fenders and top. But in this color the 10a is a grand slam!
I wish I'd see an Anvil, in person. We see a lot of Jeeps and yet not one Anvil. I almost bought a 10A sight unseen but it was sold the day I made an offer. I did order a JKUR but went back to Flame Red, color of my ex-LJ.
Unfortunately, this is one of those colors that looks terrible in pictures. In person, it's a totally different animal. Anvil is kinda like a reverse bikini model, they look great in pics but look like worn out lot lizards in person; the Anvil looks great in person but, looks like a dumpster in pictures.
I like the dumpster reference! It is the color of the Brute trashcan that inspired the jeep engineers after all. And they matched it pretty well! Love the color, but hope its not available for too long. As more folks see them in person, the more folks will want one. I don't want it to be too popular! I'm a little selfish...
I was thinking "Battleship Gray" until you mentioned the trash can color. Spot on! Maybe Jeep could put the BRUTE stencil on the hood like the Rubicon, and add a trashcan badge to the quarter panel. Interesting color, just not for me.
Grabs your photo and ran it thru my editer for color correct. That got rid of the bluish tints so common in the photos. I just saw one today and was surprised how true gray that anvil really is, the blue in the photos really sticks out once you see one in person.
I ordered an Anvil JKU sport about a month ago after seeing the color on a 10A earlier this year. After seeing all of the Anvil pictures on the forum, I was worried that I wouldn't like the color. I saw another Anvil 10A last week, and it looked great. Pics really don't do it justice. I can't wait to get mine this week hopefully.
DUDE...I am right there with ya! It really looks like its going to be a really cool color. Back before I bought my YJ, I almost got a 2001 Sport in Impact Orange :action-smiley:...LOVE that color!!!!!
Dune is an interesting color, looks great all lifted and what not!
My new Jeep Wrangler Sport S...with 1/2 windows in Anvil rocks!! I adore the color sight unseen...thanks for the thread with pics..I think it will be a really unique girl color especially chromed out..can't wait..just got my vin # today!
Don't hate me boys...saw the Anvil today...its the color of my eyes..
