Can anyone tell me the color of this truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found this beautiful 67-68 and wondering if it was a factory color or if anyone could tell me the color! Thanks for any help

No idea what color it is, but I don't believe it's factory

Not 506 medium blue? I'm shade blind, so what do I know? but that's what it looks like.

I do believe that color was used by gm on Camaros. I had a 69 that color.

I probably should not have replied I guess, not much help I reckon. I'm color blind. That truck looks grey to me. If it's any shade of blue I'm way wrong. Haha

Hard to tell weather it is a solid or metalic color, but it is a beautiful truck!

Chris04 · 05-09-2015, 03:48 PM

I love the color that's why I'm wondering what it is! Might be my next color for my truck! I could be wrong but seems like there were some mustangs in the 60's and 70's this color?

Looks kind of like marina blue the 60's corvette blue. My brother Campari is a similar shade to the color of that truck he did 03 Dodge Ram blue but without the metallic

At first glance, I was gonna say no way was that a factory color - and I still don't think it is, however, considering the fact that it's in the shade and we have no idea the camera, etc, who knows. At first I thought it was metallic too, but don't think so now. Pretty sure not Marina Blue either, that is a darker, richer blue.

nice color but looks a little altered to me.photoshopped a little
maybe not but just a hunch

It looks lavender on my screen. Very hard to tell colors on the internet; can't be certain of how the camera and monitors interpret the colors.

sam devlin · 05-10-2015, 10:19 AM

It's definitely not Chevrolet Marina blue from the 60's. it looks a tad lavender/purple/periwinkle on my screen as well.

I agree it looks like it's a light blue with purple in it, my wife exact words was it looks periwinkle! I'm no fan of purple but something about this color looks really good, the wheels and chrome stand out very nice with it!
