I think it would look good depending on the vehicle color. I like the darker accent color that comes on the Trailhawk.

Black Emblems - Plasti Dip
I did my grill this weekend with Plasti Dip. Have already done the wheels. If you do the grill, it's much easier to take the pieces out of the hood. There are two screws holding each piece in, just open the hood and you'll see them. They pop right out. Also each grill insert is labeled 1 through 7. The far left one is #1 so they can be put back into the same spot. Thought that was nice of them to label them. Then I just sprayed them without taping off, so much easier. I'm considering doing the Jeep logos and Cherokee logos, but I'm not sure yet. The little insides of the letters might be difficult to do without some sort of home made template.

To each their own.
My obsession for chrome probably came from 15 years of Harley ownership. My Harley's had so much chrome on them you needed sunglass just to look at them. Hard to break old habits.To each their own.
you can find vinyl overlays on Etsy for all of our emblems. about 10-13$ a sticker (set) I paid 13$ for jeep front and back and 13$ for cherokee (both sides) the 4x4 is about 8$
heres mine. Yes i saw the placement errors on a couple letters in cherokee, they have since been fixed lol.

I have seriously toyed with the idea of buying grand cherokee badges( the red and black version) trimming off the cherokee part and mounting those on the doors.
also, you can get trail rated badges everywhere online. They look slightly different from factory(most are reversed color schemes) though the dealer option will keep that factory look. I was able to get color matched ones for 10$ each from my dealer.

this is the one i'm referring to but only using the cherokee portion. ( i believe they're off the grand cherokee trail hawk)

final thought, tape around stock badges leaving a square that will guide you in putting them back exactly as they came off. you can pull them all off with a plastic squeege, or fishing line, then paint them. reapply using emblem adhesive. purchased at any parts store or walmart. you need not remove all the 3m tape on the back of any stock emblem. just clean off the balled up parts to leave a smooth surface. apply the emblem adhesive to the back( thin coat). wipe car off with 91% alcohol let air dry, put your glue on the badge. let glue set for about 15 seconds, press onto your car and hold firm for about 30 seconds. wait about an hour before driving. then enjoy.
