Unfortunately, we've only sold about 5 of them in the past 3 years, so it's unlikely we'll be making more of them.![]()
That is kind of crazy to me since blue seems to be the most loved color on this forum.

Blue colors definitely seem to be the most popular in the forum, but there's only 24,773 of us in here, and we (Weber) sell an exponentially larger amount of Black vs any of the colors. Black is what the average grill owner buys. It's important to remember we're in a bit of an echo chamber.That is kind of crazy to me since blue seems to be the most loved color on this forum.

Also, the Dark Blue color was discontinued at the end of 2013, so it hasn't been an actively used color on any models we've sold in 12 years at this point, with the exception of a Dark Blue Performer that was exclusive at Crate & Barrel for a while. Since then, Performers have only come in Black, Crimson (co-op exclusive), Copper, Green, or Slate (Crate & Barrel exclusive).
Indigo is my favorite modern color by far. I bought one at Ace and retrofitted it with legs, wheels and handles from a used MasterTouch I picked up. I like the look and especially the taller stance.I intentionally left Indigo out because it's a color that's exclusive to Ace, but there's no denying it would certainly look cool!
Hi John!Why couldn't Weber have a special order page where you could order the color of your choice, if you have the colors how hard could it be.![]()
What about an OD green with a true white star(not the see through white) in the style of an old Willys military jeep? I couldn’t pass upHi John!
We sort of do have something like that with the Build Your Own Master-Touch program.
It's limited to 22" Master-Touch models, and you can choose from Black, Deep Ocean Blue, Smoke, Slate, Spring Green, Ivory, Burnt Orange, or Fog Gray.
There's a ton of operational and system related hurdles to overcome in order to be able to offer something like this for any different Weber charcoal model.
Special one-off orders simply aren't possible due to the way we operate our lines since we're setup for a mass production scenario. There's things like minimum order quantities to consider when it comes to the material needed to make certain colors, and how they ultimately get applied to the kettles. There's also everything that goes along with having unique SKUs and making sure there's a forecast or demand in the system to drive procurement of all of the individual components. Things get really complex really fast on something like a special order program.
NOW that is a heck of an idea.... The old military roundel, white star in a white circle. You got my vote.What about an OD green with a true white star(not the see through white) in the style of an old Willys military jeep? I couldn’t pass up![]()
