At first the bronze (sorry ups brown) looked really good but then after looking and waiting I realized it might be more of a novilty then a long term color. Black is nice at first but like others have said its a commitment. To each their own right!!

One of the local dealers managed to have all the colors available on the lot the last time I was there. Stopped on a bright sunlight Sunday to walk around and try and decide what color for the commitment.

Black - been there and done that 3 times, and although the metal flake looks great in the sun ..................

Blue and green - for some reasons the colors just don't stand out

Vermillion red - too red for me, besides, I drive fire trucks for a living, I see enough red trucks.

Bronze – looked good but not my color

Silver and Pale Adobe – don’t like them at all

White – very first new vehicle (1978 Dodge Power Wagon) was white. Nice but a little too white and “utility” like.

The short list was Royal Red, Sterling Grey and White Tri-coat

I am partial to the darker reds, my current GMC is a maroon as well as my motorcycle trailer.
In the sun though the Royal Red looked more brown with red metal flakes. Just didn’t seem red enough.

Had a Tahoe in the grey and liked that and had/have an Avalon and Lincoln MKX in the fancy white.

White Tri-coat in monotone won, hope I like it as much as I think I will.
Being a DRW there is going to be a lot of white in my driveway!

FWIW, the tuxedo black almost looks like a gunmetal in some light. There's a ton of metallic flake in the paint. I've had people ask me if it's dark grey, dark brown, even dark blue (I don't see that). I am partial... but the tuxedo black / tan KR scheme is pretty sick

I do like the Black, even though it is black (everything shows). I will be pulling a black and gray boat, and the more I think about it, the more I like the matching colors! haha My Super Air Nautique (professional) has a ton of flake in it as well...so they both sparkle!

I am partial but like the bronze metallic/adobe combination in a King Ranch as it seems to match the with the KR leather interior the best......

So what are people's thoughts? On everything from options if you had a chance to "rebuy" your truck or just a recommendation on the color?
Thanks in advance!
I vote for the black
