What color would you pick, if you could actually pick a color?

[truckless]

FIL had a '68 Coronet 500 in "Light Turquoise" (close to 11) that he factory ordered and paid cash for as a 21 year old. He had it until a few years before I came into the picture (2004) but he sold it to his cousin. Body and color just work.

That said, color depends on the vehicle.

My wife might disagree, but metallic brown looks great on a truck:

I'm also really happy with my Cayenne Red, which isn't quite a burgundy, but also not a "LOOK AT ME" Red:

I loved the dark brown that ram had for a few years. The dealer had one on the lot with 12,000 miles on it with the tan leather interior. I was strongly considering it but decided to order a new one instead. Sounds like a dumb reason, but only ordered because the used one didn't have a 33 gallon tank.

Wait, I thought that was Anvil.

Right. I guess I was thinking Anvil was the same gray color. I change my answer to ceramic gray based on confusion.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Kinda the same reason mine's on order. I wanted an EcoDiesel 4x2 with 33-gal. That's a tall order in the Used market.

I drive about 200 miles a day, I just wanted to eliminate a few trips to the gas station per month. Otherwise, that dark brown Limited was perfect.

Agreed. I nearly bought a 22 Tundra 1794, and the Smoked Mesquite was the only color I considered.

I'll go out on a limb here and say they may be damn close to the same color. That the difference could simply be metal flake. It's been a while since I looked at a 69 Coronet color chart (had one) . But I don't recall many being metal flake. Run of the mill cars just didn't. I'm thinking it's possible that 1970 and cars, like the Challenger was about the beginning of their common factory use outside of a limited number of colors. Someone will know...

Yep depends on car and lighting

Yeah, I will have to check. He actually built a '33 Ford coupe and did it in the "same color"....but the 33 has metallic but I not sure about the Coronet tbh. Painted himself (used to be a body man). Built a booth in his garage and piece by piece..... Was funny seeing doors, trunk lid, hood, side panels, fenders, and running boards take over the living room after finishing each one.

Amazing how a car without orange peel just....pops. That said, like you mention lighting, went to Barrett Jackson and was blown away with how some of those cars actually look like absolute **** in person when they parked off-stage for up-close viewing. Then when watching the show when we get back home and they are on stage.....you would never guess they were the same car.

From that chart:

1. Ivy Green Metallic
2. Lime Green Metallic
3. Blue Fire Metallic

Of any color?

1. Audi Sonoma Green Metallic
2. Patriot Blue
3. Ford Dark Jade Metallic

 

[mophead]

1. Lime Green Metallic
2. Citron Mist Metallic
3. After that I am seriously conflicted. Bunch of great colors there.

A solid navy blue, like the code 904 blue Mercedes used in the 70's through 90's. I wish they had not discontinued the green. Burnt Orange, like on the old Mopars of the later 60's

Why Is Dodge Killing Destroyer Gray?​

Why Is Dodge Killing Destroyer Gray?

Dodge’s Destroyer Gray color was a much bigger hit than Dodge calculated. Now that it’s gone on the Charger and Challenger, what’s replacing it?

My 2014 Tundra (sold to buy the Rebel) was Sunset Bronze Mica, the brown which preceded the Mesquite. Really liked that color.

 

[ManchuWarrior]

The Built to Serve Navy edition came in Destroyer gray. Although Ram calls in Ceramic Gray. I got one of the 1000 they made. You can possibly find a used one

Wow learned something new. So that color is how my eyes view the silver in the builder website. When I went to build and order one the builder site showed that exact color, but when I checked out dealer inventory and YouTube videos it was clearly silver. Someone needs to update the builder site. I love that color it reminds me of the Lunar Rock on Tacomas.

 

[mophead]

Yep I really like that Ceramic Gray too

 

[puba08]

Have a ceramic gray BTS, destroyer gray Durango and a Sting Gray Cherokee so I’m biased. But if I have to pick a color other than those it would be the olive green.
