Color code and name please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I found a 1977 GMC shorty can all metal body rust free that also happens to be a fairly rare colour for a van it’s that seafoam colour 70s GM Trucks were known for. Now the attached picture is not my truck in my searching for the colour I stumbled on the that colour which is literally the same colour. But when I do a search on Google I don’t see the colour name or code. If anyone can help I’d appreciate it very much and my apologies for using a picture that is not mine . Thank you and take care

Do a search for 503 Light Green. I have seen 70's vans that color - or similar - and they look good.

Guy who bought my old steering wheel has a restoration in that color, with belts - it's at or near perfect esthetics, beautiful. He's just a collector, dude has deep pockets, 300 shirts or something like, in his 60s. He pitched for my chevy, only implying liberal spending, it's not for discussion☺. He buys 67-72 at will, lots of Broncos too. The steering wheel was for his sweet driver blazer, just a bitn rig, patina.

That is definitely the color of the van it’s such good color for a van and I have not seen them much so must be on the rarer side especially since it’s GMC short van

There are a number of YouTubers and regular folk who are big fans of 503 light green. I am also a big fan of light green, but I like 507 light blue a little bit more.

Thank you for posting the GMC colors for 1967. Very interesting the available colors for the GMC's. Palomino tan is an interesting color that origainates from the 1960-1966 GMC trucks. I think it is an interesting and beutiful color, not faded out to the "pinkish" color.
