If you stop and think, its kind of funny that Ag equipment is known primarily by color. Construction equipment is primarily a shade of yellow/gold, cars/trucks have their limited colors but off some choices, big trucks offer tons of color choices and some Ag companies have taken other measures to stand out versus relying on color.  Valtra has been offering color choices for years, Fendt has been offering them since the popularity of the Black Beauty in 2006.  I am sure others offer colors as well and more seem to be following the trend of at least offering it. It's still up to the person ordering it to decide, but the special colors seem to be a hit with Fendt and NH's Blue Power editions.  For larger custom operators it allows you to promote your own "brand" in a way. Look at sunbelt rentals, order everything in a bright green color, easiest brand recognition there is not to mention theft deterrent.

Fendt's "Design Line" as they call it comes in various versions.  The ones you can price on their site are the Black Beauty (7k MSRP) and the other three mainstream color options which are Steel Blue, Fir Green, and Black Cherry (9k MSRP). The difference being the Black Beauty retains the orange rims while the other four have grey rims. All of them come with stainless grill's and chrome exhaust shields as well as a dieselross emblem on the steering wheel.  You can order the grey rims on a black one as well, and I am sure you can get all of the amenities of the beauty package with plain Fendt green as well like they had at the NA shows this year.  Supposedly Fendt will paint it any color you want providing you give them the RAL color code and the appropriate fees of course.  Fendt's paint quality is top notch, no orange peel and a nice clear coat. Smooth as glass but still thick enough to work with over the years.

I was on NH's site the other day and saw they offered the Blu Power edition, but only on certain models, for a little over 3k MSRP.  I was surprised that for around 1k they will paint it any standard color and for 3k any metallic color you want.

I know Cat will paint your SSL any color on Valspar's powder chart for $900.  Our local dealer wrapped the ones they sent to the Badgers and Packers for grounds maintenance and they looked great but once they went out into the real world the wraps get beat up.
