So.....is it blue or brown?

 

It looks blue on the application page, but it is brown on a bunch of the review sites. I know a few of you have gotten the card lately, so hopefully you can answer my silly question!

TU: 732 (11/27/12) EQ: 705 (11/27/12) EX: 723 (1/7/13)

Cap1 Newcomers, $750 (4/2012); AMEX Green, NPSL (10/2012); Discover IT, $3500 (10/2012); Chase Amazon Rewards, $1100 (10/2012); AMEX Hilton HHonors, $4000 (11/2012); AMEX Blue Cash Everyday, $4000 (01/2013); Chase Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus, $6500 (03/2013)

no. perfect question to answer. i have the brown design, and would receive brown design replacements if and when i request them, but new card holders will receive the grey-blue design i believe.

Actually, its not too bad. The card is light blue with a metallic flake, combined with the dark blue logo. It isn't that bad looking, but again it is just a credit card...haha

 

If you click on it in my signature you can see the card you will get, the photo amex provides is pretty accurate.
