My truck is currently a dark metallic green with a blueish tint (see gallery). When the time comes, I'm planning on dark highland green:
The next best thing would be GM's polo green metallic they used on C4 vettes:
I'm also fond of dark blues, like on my dd Sierra: (this isn't my truck, but same body/color)
The inside of the truck is the same as outside. The bench has black vinyl for the center stripe and sides, but the main seating is a green cloth. that's also in the gallery. While I love red, I dont' think it looks quite right on this body style. Or maybeI"m just used to the darker colors.

Sen as how the "Olde Girl" is a '58, that means her original colour is "Vermilion", which ranges from a rather "Brillient Red" to a "Reddish Orange".
See the colour of my '58 M-100 in my "Gallery".

From the prior threads - how about a tomato soup red with white top ? that was a common combo for that period.

col- thats the color alright... mines just way more faded
id like to change it to a darker color though... not black- just doesnt look right black... maybe a deep dark gloss purple or navy... still trying to decide... but ive got a good long time to decide as i wont have the 2-3000 dollars it would cost to have it painted until at least february- i know i cant paint- at least not so it would look good. i can make about anything work, but i cant make it pretty
hey jrod- i like that color- what is it? is that the stock color? i think i just found the new color for my truck
