Turquoise? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In the five years of our trucks what is the closest stock color to turquoise? I think the closest Ive seen is a little more green, or a little more blue.

Im thinking more of the color that you could get on 57 Chevys.

Please post a pic if you have one in turquoise.

I have spots on my firewall that color where the paint chipped when I pressure washed it.

That's pretty close to turquoise. From all the searching Ive done on the board I think that medium green is the closet color Ive seen.

Great looking truck too.

This may be the color you mean. Its called turquoise poly and the single paint code is 511 and its 1969 only.

That the same color of the new cab i just picked up , (70) glad i seen this i couldnt really tell from paint chips & it has no spid. Im liking it, 511 . turquoise poly. Sorry , didnt mean to threadjack.

People always call Medium Green, or in earlier years Light Green, Sea Foam Green. Sea Foam is more of a green turquoise or light "agua". There was Terrace Blue and Aqua Poly and they both could be considered a turquoise. I dunno, agua/turquoise? Blue green/green blue? Bluish greenish blue/greenish.................

Im thinking like this color. I believe Livrat painted his last Blazer something close to this. Really hard to tell, when I do an image search the quality of the 57 pics is all over the board.

My updated color with metal flake.

CG · 01-16-2017, 03:13 PM

What color is that, stock GM?

Livrat · 01-16-2017, 03:30 PM

Mark, The wife's Blazer was painted 1958 Chevrolet "Tartan Turquoise" Which is a bit different than 1957 Tropical Turquoise.

I think that looks awfully close to 1967 503 light green. There are a couple of "Post your green truck" threads if you do a search you should locate them.

Ive been through every thread I could find, have a folder full of pics ... just wanted to actually ask instead of search in case I missed anything. I really like the 503 light green.

If GM Truck Light Green had just a drop of blue in it it would be turquoise.
