26" Master-Touch in Color Poll

[Cody Bratton]

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.

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).

Bring it back! lol. I know that black is very well-loved by the average consumer.

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 .

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!

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 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!

From the list ... Deep Ocean Blue .....
tossing out my own choice .... Bright 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.
