Re: Which of these colors should I paint my truck?

How about the "other" orange... (516)
This would get my vote, except in standard two tone (i.e. white top, solid orange everywhere else). If not, then definitely Hugger with a white top. Bot blue and orange interiors look great - but I love the hugger with parchment houndstooth. Or, better yet orange with orange highlander plaid. You do have a Custom Deluxe, after all. How about a peek at your SPID?

Is that the Okra? Okra is the original color for my truck.

No Ochre (511) is a mustard yellow color or "Spanish Gold" to the sales and marketing people. Shown below is an Ochre Custom Deluxe with the Deluxe Two-Tone (code 463). .

The Orange (516) Jocko and I mentioned is a true orange. Shown below is an Orange Custom Deluxe with the Deluxe Two-Tone (code 483).

Its important for me to mention that the GM paint codes not only describe the color but the application scheme, that is why there are so many numbers. This chart shows the solid color codes of the various factory colors.
