**Elliot949** · 11-10-2013, 02:20 PM

I am really just starting to get going on my truck but I am trying to decide on the color... I have it Between these two colors... First is just a light Powder Blue/Bright White two tone... second is a 1966 GM color called lemonwood yellow/ white...

Ol rusty · 11-10-2013, 03:56 PM

I like the blue myself.

allons · 11-10-2013, 04:01 PM

I'm yellow and white. My '72 is (525) light yellow with a white top. I like it.

**DreamRyder1963** · 11-10-2013, 04:27 PM

I prefer the blue myself.

swamp rat · 11-10-2013, 04:38 PM

It's hard to pick colors man! I'm very "man challenged" when it comes to even seeing all the colors there are.

Besides, we can only tell you what we like, not what you like. I'd get some samples, paint them out like you've done on a spare fender or on cardboard, and then make a decision.

For me: all black, all yellow (my truck is yellow), or 2-tone blue/white or red/white. But that's me. I tend to like darker colors also. I realize I am not helping you.

*Mister-B* · 11-10-2013, 06:18 PM

What blue is that? In 67-69, they did 507 light blue, which I'm biased towards. Your sample looks different though. Too "Mylanta" blue for my taste

That being said, I've seen that yellow color in person, and it looks nice too

**Elliot949** · 11-10-2013, 08:27 PM

The Blue I have picked is a Corporate color not General Motors... I saw it on a Sterling Truck and really liked it... then I saw my old 66 Chevy II and remembered how muck I liked the Lemonwood Yellow... Now I have a delimma... LOL... I am probably going to go with the Yellow but who the heck knows...

big_al_71 · 11-10-2013, 08:39 PM

blue!!

Mr Chevorlet · 11-10-2013, 08:43 PM

507 blue.

**Elliot949** · 11-10-2013, 08:54 PM

if I go blue it will not be the original 506 or 507.. It would be the blue that I posted...

67ctener · 11-10-2013, 09:02 PM

The blue you posted is awesome. Looks very similar to cloude 9. I vote blue but I don't like yellow

You probably can't find a topic that is more personal taste than what color people prefer. That being said, if you can't decide either way, that blue sample of yours does look like a spoon full of mylanta when you feel like crap, and it does sorta look like the painter mixed a batch of 507 blue incorrectly. That yellow is correct for the truck and year, and is a very nice, fairly unusual color. Then again, is that 522 light yellow, or something close?

Actually this is a lighter yellow than the 522 Light Yellow... this is passenger car color code YY Lemonwood Yellow...

jdw · 11-11-2013, 08:04 AM

The yellow looks better with the white. I like the blue more, but it gets lost in the two tone. Solid blue or yellow and white is my vote.

That's interesting. Not sure.

sboris · 11-11-2013, 12:38 PM

Lemonwood for me.. Would make it sharp and very unique. Not a blue fan, but that would look awesome I'm sure when all done up. Have fun choosing!

swamp rat · 11-11-2013, 01:55 PM

Like mentioned above color is a personal choice. But if you want honest feedback to me that blue is so light it reminds me of the same baby blue you find on little infant boys pajamas, just too light.

**Elliot949** · 11-11-2013, 09:30 PM

Guys keep it coming... I really appreciate the input... Swamp Rat you make a good point...
