![]() The color, even being metallic, is a like shade to the Chief and can definitely bring all the accents together, especially when looking to add more exterior, and even interior Jeep® trim. When looking at the tow hooks, which are not metallic like the decals, Surf Blue was still a great match. That left the Surf Blue Pearl which is a nearly perfect match for the emblems and decals. The Chief Blue comes close to the tow hooks, but is too light to match the hood decals and emblems. What we found, is that Electric Blue is definitely too dark, as is Hydro Blue. We took painted samples of Electric Blue, Hydro Blue, Chief Blue, and Surf Blue to our local dealer and compared them to the hood decals, tow hooks, and badge emblem. ![]() What better way to match the blue accessories on the 4XE than to actually compare painted samples to the Jeep®? So, that’s what we did. To complicate the decision further, we’ve discovered that the hood decals, badge and tow hooks are actually each a different shade of blue! However, in current production, the tow hooks are a lighter color similar to Chief Blue. Several places report that the tow hooks and exterior design accents on pre-production 4XE Rubicons were electric blue. To further confuse the debate, Jeep® notes the Rubicon 4XE to have "surf blue interior accent stitching". However when you click on the Highlights link for a build, it describes “lagoon blue tow hooks”. ![]() On their 4XE build page, there is a photo of the tow hooks with a description of “electric blue tow hooks”. Why? Because Jeep® themselves were calling it Electric Blue, and that makes sense, right? After all, it is an electric vehicle! What we discovered was that even Jeep® doesn’t seem to be sure. Initially we were certain it was Electric Blue. A few places have mentioned a Lagoon Blue, but we couldn’t find a paint code for that. We’ve seen suggestions of Electric Blue (PB5), Hydro Blue (PBJ), Surf Blue (PQD), and Chief Blue (PQB).
