Anyone know what these paint colors are?
Need to paint the truck per my useriD. I like blue or orange, but I'm not familiar with the colors. Anyone know if these colors are stock, and if so, what years? Color codes would be awesome. I looked for the codes, but came up empty. Maybe they weren't stock for 1971. Couldn't be because I'm color shade blind. I also welcome comments on which color you like. Thanks.

Re: Anyone know what these paint colors are?
You got your correct colors now. You would have really liked my two '72 K/20s I had to sell. The Cheyenne Super was red orange/white and the Highlander was medium blue/white. They looked great together. Ended up with the white '72 GMC K2500 as my keeper because everyone who came to look at it wanted the blue & white one. When a good friend made an offer I couldn't refuse he got it. I don't hate the GMC, but would like another color. The white will be gone once restored...one day

You must have meant to say "...on these trucks", right? Because I think a Cadillac wouldn't look too good

www.autocolorlibrary.com has actual pages from chip books, but as with all chips they can also be off. And monitors vary,too. You're best looking at an actual truck. That one you showed in blue looks spot-on
