Awesome color, but where does the name come from?

I'm betting it's a Hawaii thing.

I can't decide if I like this color or not. In some pics it looks nice and dark, a bit like Caspian blue, and in others in looks like "electric" blue, which I'm not a fan of.

I wonder what you might find in the center console of the Kona Edition?

i cant decide if i like this color or not. when it is under real good lighting like it is in most of the pick i think it looks bad a$$, but im afraid that under regular or poor lighting it will just look like a darker vista blue, which i dont like.

I don't know, but back in the early '70s I had a t-shirt with KONA BLUE on the back in big letters.
I just can't get over the name of the color knowing what I know from the old days.

Wolfsburg, you will like this color it is VERY DARK. It's like a midnight blue. I thought it was black when I first saw it

Sometimes I really like this color other times I dont. I kind of wish it were brighter, this reminds me of Dark Ink blue that Ford uses on the Edge and the Explorer. Looks fantastic in that pic with lights on it and all and great in the sun but other wise it will just look black. This color seems more fitting on a luxury car. Oh well it won't be long before they are on lots and in person is the only way to judge color.
