There are several names for this color on lots of different vehicles.  Regardless the color code if GJI.  I have searched high and low to find a powder coat that would match but to no avail.  I really want to color my chrome bumpers.  The local bedliner shop that does kevlar spray said they could color match kevlar.  Its kinda cool, and would be tough as nails on a bumper.  Its a little rougher than I like though.

Refers to the internal designation for the new generation/new body style that started in 2019.  There were also 2019 double cabs in the old body style during the change-over process. 

Your 2017 is a K2

 

Before that there was GMT900,

before that the GMT800 (which was the first ones to use the hydroformed front rails in the frame)

Before that, different frame supplier and the 400 series....

 

Fwiw, GM refers to paint colours by the order code. (RPO code)

Sometimes chev and gmc (and the other divisions) will use the same paint colour, and same rpo code, but label it with a different name.

It's common for the shade of the colour to change every few years, and some colours are one year or part year colours.

In any case, correct colour matching is done by the RPO code (order code). Pictures often 

 

 

GMC calls   GJI  Dark Sky Metallic    
Chev calls GJI  Shadow Gray Metallic

So this thread could have been called Dark Sky Metallic / Shadow Gray Metallic

GJI wasn't available on 2017.  

 

 

Is yours 'Graphite Metallic'?

If so, it's RPO code is GPA.  (GMC called GPA Dark Slate Metallic) 

It's no longer available. 

 

The 2017 should have the label in the glove box that lists the RPO codes.  They have moved the info to a QR code on the door post --- that can be read using a phone app.  Of course any dealer (or gm chat / social media) can also run the vin and get a list of 'as built' codes.

My dark sky Denali. First saw it on the lot the way the salesman said it was blue and the way the sun hit the color I almost walked back in and said there’s a gray one out there but I don’t see a blue one

Not the best picture, but I found some AT4 wheels local and swapped out my RST 20s. Much better, but the Duratrac tires are going to have to go.
