Wow - was the phathom blue really that unpopular? It was a great color that had two different personalities when in the sun and when out of the sun.
I find that consumers are very color-adverse when purchasing cars. I always wonder, is that industry conditioning that generates mass thinking or is this the mass driving the market with their votes via $$.
I personally have enjoyed a large number of color options. Maybe I'm a child of the 80s when exterior and interior colors were varied. I remember just about every vehicle came in at least a blue, green, red, black, white, beige and often multiple shades of those colors with the occasional orange, yellow, purple. Interiors were grey, beige at least, and then often blue, reds, and then a few pattern colors.

I went through every single color... every trim level... got the prices on all of 'em.

It was a PITA so I hope someone clicks through and reads it all
I compared 2025 to 2026, colors and prices.
2026 Chryslers: Cheaper Color, Higher Prices | MoTales Now
Even as Dodge cut $5,000 off the price of the 2026 Charger, helping to compensate for the loss of federal rebates, Chrysler has cut prices in their own way—by p

What they say: "We're not dead - see! Halcyon exists!"
What they do in that year after Halcyon is shown: "new weird-looking green color that's probably F8 but looks like absolute *ss on our website bc we couldn't be bothered to do actual photography!" (like every other color)

I don't know why but I see Chrysler fitting this market so well, along with the US. (Eastern Europe, Greece, etc)
The worst part is NO cloth interior option. I despise vinyl seats (leather I despise a bit less) and only have black interiors on the bottom two models is really dreary.
I would have to see the Olive color in person to decide.

What's also interesting is that cars.com (US) has it formally listed as its spanish name: Verde Oliva. Spanish Olive is actually a cool color name.
It's PFP, same as Green Machine. Which is good actually- Green Machine has some bronze, brown and yellow in it.

It means Green Olive. Not Spanish Olive -- That's also what it is in Italian. Italian Olive sounds worse though because of pizza being a thing that exists. lol
Adding a seemingly random location name to it is going to make it sound better than a pizza topping or a Jeep color. lol

Lighter interiors means more heat rejection which means cooler interiors.
I'm fine with light seats. I had light seats in several cars and they looked new after ten years with kids. The trick is either (a) cloth with ScotchGuard from the factory, which is how Mopar did it for years, or (b) leather or vinyl that can be cleaned easily.
Our 300C has light tan and we haven't really cleaned it more than now and then - as in less than once a year. The coating and content are pretty good. Keeping in mind most car seats are more plastic than leather, to avoid wear and fire. The floor mats take it in the chin, though.
A lot of automakers are doing one color interior (black) with different colored seats and sometimes dashboard inserts to save money.
Burgundy looked great but the plastic always turned a different color after a few years. Oncepeople started keeping cars over ten yeras, burgundy wasn't really practical.

Olive green is the second to last color I would ever order or buy or whatever (pink would be dead last). Reminds me of my time in the service (Army National Guard) before they went to BDU's (was transitioning as I got out in '86). Olive Green? Really?
A friend of mine who is a sales manager at the local Toyota dealer says green is the worst color of all. He takes at least another $500 off of the value when considering trade-ins if the vehicle is green because he knows it is going to sit on the lot longer. His next least favorite color is "old man tan", which is what a lot of Camrys and Corollas came in years ago.
They could've at least taken Jeep's sea salt interior. Only black interior except for the Pinnacle.
The people at Stellantis making product decisions don't understand their customers or they've turned all of those decisions over to the bean counters. Either way, they'll lose. Making your vehicles all look like you've just walked into a black & white photograph isn't very inspiring. If you're striving for boredom and mediocrity, buy a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram. I bet they offer more color choices in Europe on Fiats, Alfas, Opels, DS, Peugeots and Lancias than they do here. We're the red headed stepchildren. But it's okay to take our money to support those other brands.
I don't understand how green can be disliked, but blue clashes with just about everything on a car, in my opinion.
Maybe it's just because I'm odd 😂
