Picking a color


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm seriously contemplating ordering a '14 Silverado but is it just me or have others had a hard time choosing which color to get?

 

I think I'm going to go with the Ltz z71 but not sure on color yet. I've never had this hard of a time trying to decide on a color for a new vehicle.

 

I really like the blue topaz metallic but it's really similar to my current Chevy truck and I probably want something different. Also looking at the silver ice metallic or black. Maybe even deep ruby metallic. So many choices!

 

I'm planning on lifting it and getting a set of black/silver XD wheels and trying to picture which color would go best.

 

Obviously it's my decision and I'm the only one who can choose but did anyone else have a tough time choosing what color to go with?

I went to Texas A&M, so Aggie marroon, aka Ruby Red was the obvious choice for me. With that being said, I have an LTZ and I really wish it had the body colored handles and mirror caps instead of the chrome. The chrome just seems to look a little too flashy on the dark red, but thats just my opinion. My neighbor just got a white LTZ and the chrome looks a lot better matched to the lighter colors to me, like white and silver.

It was super easy for me lol

 

I literally walked on the dealer's lot, looked at all of the different trucks, narrowed it down to a couple colors, decided which would be easiest to keep clean and maintain, and then made my decision (took ~ 45 min). I'm also partial to silver so that may have swayed me a bit lol

I've had nothing but silvers, grays, blacks for a number of years and decided I was old enough to control my speed and settled on Victory Red. I walked on the dealer lot and said, I want a red truck, and that's where we started.

I love the Ruby Red option.. it's similar in color to my old 2000 Trans Am..miss that car. I have owned a grey F150 for 12 years, so when i get a new(er) Silverado/Sierra, it's going to be anything but grey...lol

Personally my favorite color is white, looks good and easy to clean. on the k2 that metallic brown or whatever it's called is a really nice color

I went with Deep Ruby Metallic as something different. Had a lot of blue trucks and most recent was a 2011 Silverado with Blue Granite Metallic (aka Stelalth Gray). Also, black was very hard to keep clean. Try something new!

I was pretty much decided when I ordered my blue granite metallic which I love it seems less blue this year and more slate depending on the light. That being said after I ordered it I was considering changing to the bronze, not sure of the actual name, and the white diamond always catches my eye. I am very happy my color and people. comment on it all the time but if given the chance I might reconsider and change to the white diamond it looks easier to keep clean although it is a pricey color option.

I like silver for ease of maintaining (doesn't look dirty as bad as dark colors). My next one will probably be the blue granite my 2nd favorite color

My 2010 Sierra was Fire Red. When they showed off the 2014's the first time and I saw the A/T I knew I had to have one but later found they didn't offer the A/T in Fire Red so I settled for the Onyx Black this go around. Still a bit peeved about that but what can ya do.

always bought used so i had many different colors over the years, Bought 1 new truck in 11 wanted Black couldn't get it with the options I wanted without ordering, so settled for Blue.... everyt time I looked at the truck I wished it was black so when I bought this last one I decided to only settle for Black. took a little bit to find it but I'm so happy I got the Color I wanted. Don't settle if it will bother you in the future....

    • Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.    
    • I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.
    • 2015 Sierra 1500 here. Leaks from the sunroof to front driver side and soaks carpet. How do I fix this? Thanks!
    • I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.
    • An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
