For me, you have to grow on it, My mom Hates ochre, and my girlfreind is the same way. I think it's a great color though! Probably cause my 71 is Ochre, and i love that thing to death. Whatever.. OCHRE IS DA SH!T!

Not my first preference but over the years it has started to grow own me.
There are a lot of trucks and cars from the late sixties and seventies that were the original greens and yellows that have been reprayed to more popular colors for the times. Now they are the rare colors.

It's not my favorite color, but like was said by useRC10...anything that is clean and waxed looks good. Blazer looks real nice.

I don't think you have to guess very hard where I stand on the color! And all the years I have owned this color, women have always hated the color. I think it is a childhood refrigerator/dish washer/ stove flashback issue. All I can say is, Thank god it isn't avacado green!

It looks pretty good, but I wouldn't paint my truck that color.

I'm not a huge fan. This 71 K20 body is ready to be lifted off to find a new home at a fellow board member.

i like the color when its in good shape and shiny..
the other good thing about ochra is it was popular with the older guys back then.. that means, those trucks usualy got taken care of better.. most the ochra trucks i have seen have been in better shape than other colors... strange huh
