So you can make yellow, just slightly different shade, how about slightly different shade of red and orange?

Also my thinking is flat black or olive drab green. A full blacked out version (murdered out) or colors like orange, gray, blue with blacked out anything shiny. Kinda in the car world experience. Anything shiny is black.

Red is really hard because it requires the cadmium. Orange is almost as difficult. Matte black is totally possible, and none of the shades of green present any issues that I'm aware of. Blacking out components, or making them "stealth" as we call it here at Weber is possible too, but a cost adder (which would likely be passed along to the consumer) and it requires new product development participation across the entire organization.

For the purposes of this informal poll I created, I am only including colors we can already manufacture on an existing product line, so no new product development would be required.

I would say the same would apply for the Smokefire.

Was going to post the exact same thing!

Cannot Like this comment enough! Great cooker, love mine. And had zero issues with my LE Red until I got lazy, didn’t use the lid nail, and it fell off a table
 
If I had to choose, Deep Ocean Blue, though I wish we had the slightly lighter Cobalt Blue of the 90's and 2000's make a comeback.
 
I just changed my vote from Burnt Orange to Indigo. I’m about to buy a new Genesis in the indigo color available from Ace Hardware. Would be so cool to have a matching WSM!!

How can I beg for a blue WSK?

I consider this comment to begging for a blue Summit Kamado. :) If we were ever to do a color WSK, there'd be a lot of thought put into which color(s) we picked, since we're talking about a pretty expensive product that we don't want to be just sitting in a warehouse because it turns out the color wasn't as popular as we'd hoped or thought it would be.

I’m fairly confident I’ve influenced a few WSK purchases over the last few years.

Do the market research. I’d definitely buy a blue one. Heck, I’d even special order it if Weber would accept my order.

Man does not live by price alone (women too).

Or maybe do a “special run” where people have to preorder and pay for theirs. I’d do that too.

That is a 22" Smokey Mountain Cooker in Burnt Orange that I had made for Tuffy Stone (per a request from our Grill Academy), who we've been collaborating with on some projects. It's a one of a kind unit made just for him.

I remember when the Glen Blue 26” was a one off just for him too haha. And not maybe 6 months later, we had it
