Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
IMO
Blazers: Hugger orange and white. 67-68 C/K Fleet: I lean to light blue and white for SWB. Even solid blue looks great. Light blue/white or hugger orange/white on a LWB. Short step sides: Tuff to beat hugger orange. With white is great too. "Corvette yellow" (sorry don't know the labels) looks amazing also, though I don't think it's stock. 71-72 C/K Fleet: If I knew what I liked best on a SWB I might settle on a color. Two-tone "medium" blue/white or hugger orange/white for a LWB. 69-70 is somewhere in the mix. Black always deserves consideration.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
Although mine is yellow and I plan to keep it yellow, I've seen some metallic copper ones I really like, as well as some of the darker blues.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
I think GM did a great job of picking colours for the 67 - 72s, and I like most of them. My favourites are Ochre/white two tone, Red/white two tone, and Dark Green/white two tone.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
All the two tone combos work for me on fleet sides and all red on steppers.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
The hardest thing for me to decide on my trucks is the color , Stock ? Stockish ? Or just go crazy using one of the extreme custom colors ?
You really can't beat a super straight black 67 , but they all look good with shiny new paint whatever the color !

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
My favorite is the color they left the factory with.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
While I'll never buy a new vehicle again that isn't black, my faves on these trucks are medium olive/white roof, followed closely by light yellow/white roof(my color).

Exactly. I've been pondering color for 25 years now. At some point in the near future I have to settle. It likely won't be ochre/white two-tone like it was original, but two-tone deluxe remains an option. It's that or hugger/white two tone, or dark blue/white two tone. If it was one of the others described in the OP, then no problem.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
To me they pretty much all look great and i especially like the tow tones. If I had to pick it'd be Orange or Black and to me some colors are just better in two tone Like the yellow white and blue white combos.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
1967 Marina blue and white. I only used the blue because I decided not to use it on my Chevelle, and didn't want it to go to waste
