Jeep —and Stellantis as a complete — are form of recognized for having among the finest paint colour choices within the automotive business. For a corporation that is not notably good at many issues, it actually has a stronghold on nice paint selections, and it simply received even higher. For 2026, Jeep is reintroducing its Reign exterior paint colour to each the Gladiator and Wrangler.
This darkish purple colour, to not be confused with Plum Loopy, was first launched on the Wrangler again in 2018 and introduced again in 2023, and now it is coming again simply in time to distract us from the ruination of society round us. Oh, and it is also the primary time it will be obtainable on the Gladiator, which is able to assist distract you from the very fact the Jeep Truck is not getting a 4xe trim in any case.
Very similar to it was in 2018 and 2023, Reign needs to be a Prince reference, proper? Like, there isn’t any approach that Purple Reign is not a Prince reference. Certain, Stellantis will not admit that it’s, however everyone knows the reality right here.
Tons-o-colors
Since Stellantis is a wierd firm, the Wrangler and Gladiator’s 2026 configurators aren’t dwell but on Jeep’s web site, regardless of the very fact the corporate says order books are actually open for the 2 automobiles. Nonetheless, there’s apparently an order ebook floating round on-line that reveals the Wrangler can also be going to be obtainable in ’41 (olive drab), Anvil (gray/blue), Black, Shiny White, Firecracker Purple and Goldilocks (gold/yellow), in response to CarBuzz.
There are additionally just a few “late availability” colours, together with the aforementioned Reign, Hydro Blue Pearl and Mojito (lime inexperienced). You are form of spoiled for selection. Late availability apparently means the colour will not be made obtainable to order till properly into model-year manufacturing, so it is fully attainable Reign is just round for just a few months, which was the case for 2023 model-year Wranglers.
Proper now, it stays to be seen if the Gladiator will get the identical colour choices. It did in 2025, so the good cash says it can, however who can say for positive? Stellantis is a fickle firm. You by no means know what it should do subsequent.
In any case, I am glad to see purple returning to Jeep’s lineup. We’d like extra purple automobiles on this world, and there is an excessive dearth of them proper now. Off the highest of my head, I am unable to consider any regular automobiles outdoors of the BMW 2 Collection and Subaru BRZ that are available purple, so the Wrangler and Gladiator are actually welcome additions.
