The cult of Jeep drivers can seem confusing from the outside. Like, how does a "Jeep Wave" differ from a regular wave? What counts as "A Jeep thing?" And how in the world do you "duck" another Jeep driver? One secret code non-Jeep-drivers may be completely unaware of is the color of the tow hooks in a Wrangler's bumper. I've got a Snazzberry JLU Sport (Altitude) that has all black trim (no chrome or silver).
It came with black tow hooks, but as I'm switching out the OEM front plastic bumper with a steel Rubicon take-off, I'm considering switching out the red Rubicon hooks for some gold/bronze 392 take-off hooks. My question is, does the Jeep community frown on switching tow hook colors, since they are clearly. Just got my jeep in and love it so far, I wanted to get some calipers to match the blue accents but was asked what was the paint code, we looked into the name and found all these odd names like "surf blue" sky blue, baby blue, but was trying to see if the exact paint code was posted anywhere.
To match the red on Jeep Wrangler tow hooks, several options are suggested. The paint code PR4, also known as Flame Red, is the OEM color. Upgrade your Jeep's JL/JT front with (2) OEM painted or hydrographic.

On the outside, the surf blue color traces the Rubicon name on the hood as well as the JeepĀ® and Trail RatedĀ® badges. Lagoon blue tow hooks complete the bold look. I used Maui Blue from Home Depot and think it was the closest match.
I bought surf blue and Lagoon blue also tried them all. Surf blue matches decals. Maui blue best for hooks.
I did a post on painting 2021 Sahara hooks with pictures you can search for. Looking for powdercoat colors. The original poster is trying to match the paint color of the Trailhawk tow hooks for a custom paint job.
While there isn't a specific paint code available, one suggestion is to use a swatch book to visually match the color. It's also noted that the red color may fade, especially on rubberized surfaces. Another user suggests searching for a previous Dakar paint job thread to see what color was.
