Blue original paint I guess? Any way to decode what paint was used?

Can't tell if that Blazer's paint is metallic, but #34 Misty Turquoise from 1970 looks pretty close. I picked Chevelle, but it was also available on the other cars in the line.

My 72 . Husky edition had the truck interior gunned and it came out as code 53 which in 1972 was Placer Gold .

Good thought. That’s a nice resource. What about 1968 Island Teal? http://chevellestuff.net/1968/paint.htm

For some reason, I was thinking that the special paint selections were usually limited to the same model year (of any color that GM offered that year on other models) or special mix fleet colors for a large fleet order. Argo's Blazer kinda looks like 72 GMC Terrace Blue to me - which I believe would trigger a special paint code when put on a Chev (if it was a GMC-only color, like Terrace Blue was). Not sure though...
Sharp Blazer, wow, would look great with the original gray plaid again Certainly a one of a kind Blazer.

This truck isn't mine it was posted on another thread by Already Gone but, north of the border for 1971 you could get a Sierra in Ice Coral pink. Here are some pics of that truck.

Another Blazer. The feathers example that’s been floating amongst owners for a while and now on CL.
