This is the color of mine......sucks that there's like 10 others in my area so I don't feel unique.

How do you think I feel with a white one? I see at least 2 white ones on the way to work and at least 2 more on the way home, every day....

I rarely see white around here as well, seems like most around me are either black, blue or green

It's really surprising but white ones aren't common here either. These pearl and red is the ones most common.

Well that is odd. Tons of white, black and red ones around here. Cant say I have even seen a silver or brown one around though. Pretty sure I have seen every other color.

Just FYI, in 2001 they changed to a similar color called steel blue Pearl. From the little research I've done it seems that for the 2000 model year neither of those colors were available. Nor anything similar. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's the color of my wife's '01. We also had an '02 wj in the same color. Not sure how much difference there is between those two colors. Haven't had the opportunity to park next to a gunmetal one to compare side by side.
