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.

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).

John,
It is a huge blessing to have you on the inside track give us so much helpful explanations. A lot of us here are collector/grill fanatics. We do need to keep in mind that Weber is a business and has to make what sells profitably :coolkettle: .
 
I see these new cars with these new colors and I'm like wow.
Glad to see Weber getting out of the norm also.
 
It really is a shame that the old Genesis 1000 bright red isn’t an option anymore.

I am sitting on my deck drinking a beer admiring the grill I bought in 1993 that still works perfectly and the red lid still looks amazing.

My wife and I knew we would buy a Weber gas grill and the red was the only option we wanted.

Here’s a photo for reference.

Even though it’s not an option, I vote RED!
 
Blue is such an unappetizing color to me. I don't know why people like it so much.

Personally, I have the Smoke 26" and a Burnt Orange Master Touch and many, if I could I'd buy another 26" just to get in Orange.

Edit: I bet the Yellow would look really nice too. I'd buy another 26" in yellow.
 
Burnt Orange. Still my favorite color.

Yellow or Seafoam green would be my second choices. I plan to buy burnt orange for my next 22 when my used one finally gives up the ghost.
 
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. :cool:

Hi 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.
