Doesn't look like they'll be producing yellow H3s much longer...last orders are being put in the next couple weeks. Guess its going to be just like the Green color in '06...I don't think I'd buy a yellow...but they look pretty good with mud on 'em IMHO...

I'm not believing the yellow phase-out. Seems like a popular color in California for both H2's and H3's.

Perhaps the reasoning is that there are too many yellows out there. I'm not sure what the replacement color would be. Yellow is what I thought made Hummer more interesting... Then again, the H1 wasn't yellow until 1997. I'd like to see another green. And the carbon/charcoal black mentioned elsewhere would be really nice. A gunmetal color would be good too.

:iagree: Number 1 color I see for an H3 is yellow and 2nd is grey and third is red. Hummer killing the yellow on a H3 I doubt!

When the H2 came out there was countless yellow ones, Now where i live on the H3 the Yellow and the Black are the two most popular colors with some white ones here and there, I really couldnt imagine Hummer would stop making the yellow! It's actually my moms favorite color for the car she wanted me to get mine in Yellow in the first place. I went with the Slate Blue though

dunno, never seen a white one on the lot or on the road, yet they would still produce it? Killing yellow I doubt, since thats the color everyone equates a Hummer too....

It is true. Yellow will not be available for 2008 on H3.

Just curious, whats the source for this information. Also if there stopping the Yellow will they be adding a color? Becuase when they took away the Green for this year they added the Superior Blue

BlueHUMMERH2
01-14-2007, 03:54 PM
H3 Builder apparently works at the plant so that's pretty much as close to the source as you'll get.

As far as color addition, the green wasn't replaced by any color. The superior blue was always there, but is now named imperial blue.... Orange and Maroon were added as H3X colors.

I hope not, I wanna be unique!! They should just make one color - "black", just like Henry Ford did to all his early model cars...

BlueHummerH2, I just realized that he works at the plant, but also i know the green wasnt replaced but they added that Imperial blue its actually much much much darker than than last years superior blue, I've seen both next to eachother and theres a huge difference betweent the two. But again i really couldnt imagine that the yellow would stop being made

BlueHUMMERH2
01-15-2007, 03:15 AM
I know, it would seem strange.

I noticed that about the Imperial blue as well.... I think I like the Superior blue better.

3Hummer
01-15-2007, 03:20 AM
I actually like the superior blue better as well, But i defintly it was a good idea for Hummer to add a Dark Blue to there list of colors. One color i think would do good if they were to make it would be a gun metal type color like a dark gray metallic color.

Ford wrote in his autobiography, "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black." (chapter 6)

Ford's earliest products were available in a variety of colours, including red (but not French Whore Red :giggling:) but when Ford perfected his assembly line, his cars were all black. Why? The black paint dried more quickly than other colours.

Thanks for the backup --with you actually working in the plant they're produced...no more yellow for Canyon and Colorado, either. And we all know that Hummer isn't the best to update their website...yellow will probably be up there for a while.

I was going to add Colorado and Canyon, but since this is the H3 Forum, I didn't think I needed to add them. 2 other colors will also go obsolete. There will be 3 new colors added for 2008, but at this time, I can't elaborate on them.

Carbon black/gunmetal

Maybe White Diamond Tri-coat.... Maybe Ocean Mist, but I don't know.

Hmmm, the barfy, gumby green is a given....

Maybe an orange?

Is there ANY hope for an Alpha V8? Any smoke in the air?

I read the book about the H3 development and it made me really wonder what's wrong with the management at GM. They started out with a good idea, then kicked it around to fifty different committees and a zillion meetings, changed it all around, fugged it all up, then went back towards the original idea. They spend an ENORMOUS amount of money spinnin' their wheels and self ingratiating jack-off sessions. Just come up with a good thing and build it for cryin-out-loud. They need to get rid of the dead weight. Hell, five people off of this forum and a couple of good engineers could stomp their billion dollar process into the ground. Those of you that have read the book know what I mean.

No yellow = DUMB.

Me, I'd love to have a V8 Alpha in that GM burnt orange color they had a few years ago.

So mine is special? I guess instead of a new H# in yellow I will need to continue my dream of owning a fleet of yellow Hummers. All I need now is an H2 NS n H1. I almost dropped 35k last summer on a 6 year old H1..........

The only drawback with my 5 speed is that I do not having a locker......conversion kit anyone?

I would bet either boulder Grey was #1, with black following, then red and white.

The new colors are:
A nice PURPLE for the H3x in the Hood vehicles (GM will call this new color, "Statutory Grape")

A fluorescent Lime Green for driving through the local Sonic (GM will call this color, "Leprechaun Lime")

A very pretty Powder Blue for sale in San Francisco, Key West, etc. (GM will call this color, "Buffy Blue")

When we bought ours over a year a ago, we were having a hard time choosing between gray (wife) and red (me).

The only H3 that was available within 1000 miles that had a sunroof and side air bags, in the base model, was yellow. Since I hate to wait as long as it would have taken to order one from the factory, we took a serious look at the yellow one.

After living with it for a little while we realized that we wouldn?t want any other color. The visibility is great both for us finding it in a parking lot and for other drivers on the road.

It will be a mistake for GM to stop making yellow H3s.
