2018 Color Options - Terrible
I went to my dealership to discuss ordering my 2018 before GM stops taking new orders. I currently have a Tungsten Metallic - love it. I've had that color variation on several trucks Chevrolet and GMC over the years.
I see it is no longer offered, so I go to see the replacement outside. There's a lot of blue mixed into the "Graphite something or another" color. Can't stand it. Fire engine red is out. White and silver seems a bit boring. The blue is 'ok' but 'eh. Havana Brown - nope.
It came down to black or the Cajun Red Metallic. I don't mind the red - I think it would look nice with black rims and misc pieces. However, I've always owned dark colored trucks and have enjoyed the metallic over the years. Not sure if I'd like a red truck.
Not a big chrome person, I prefer the color matched bumpers, etc.
The Midnight Editions look nice but everyone seems to have one.
Any suggestions or have you seen a truck and thought - perfect combo? I was caught off guard on how much I do not like the color options on the 1500's.

I have never been a Red guy. Always loved Blues, and Grays on vehicles. When they offered 14k off the sticker I was able to live with it lol. Honestly I actually really like it with the wheels I have now. I will never own a Black vehicle ever again. With our winters it is horrible to maintain.
I'm fortunate enough that I am ordering my vehicle from GM and my dealer will hold the truck until the big rebates kick in to move the 2018's off the lot.
I like the GMC's a lot and that color, but I cannot stand the gap on the center of the grill, at the top, where the grill and hood meet. It looks so bad in my opinion.
