Which color

Which color would you consider to be the best "sleeper" color?
Thanks

I've always liked the stock Chevy truck color, red/orange, and red goes faster too!

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

ohre truck owner

No offense taken! I get varied reactions from people that see my truck. Half of them say it's a great classic color on a classic truck, the other half say it reminds them of their kids diapers when they were real little. I wish I could say mine's a sleeper, but with a tired 350 and a th350 that might, just might, be able to move a Geo Metro on a good day, it moves slower than a turtle going uphill...

I'm trying to decide between the factory med green w/white top & graphite grey interior or possibly going all white w/new body side trim & red interior. Decisions, decisions. Whichever I decide, it will be stock looking but 'how does he drive that thing' low, slick( naked except for the fact body mouldings), & simple.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'm not sure what color you call this... but it's so "sleeper" my own truck sometimes falls asleep. How about the dreaded "old mix and match parts non-paint job" look? That sounds sleeper to me. Or, if you throw on some seriously rusty doors like longhornmail's recent "stock car" experience...
