It's really teal, but everyone else calls it green. GM doesn't do the NBS trucks this color but it was requested by the guy who ordered the truck. It's the same teal as the older GM vehicles, pics don't do the color justice.

I was gonna say, I've never seen a NBS truck that color ever. I never knew you could order colors that weren't available

BADMOFO, I never knew you could either. But I still got the window sticker that came with the truck and it also says "Custom Color"... I have seen ONE other NBS truck the same color. It was an extended cab fleetside of about the same year.

Personally, I really like the color. When it's kept clean it looks nice and shiny. I believe it'll look good with some chrome on it too. Low light makes it look really deep.

The cameras just can't capture the depth of the color for some reason and that's the only drawback to me.

Thanks
Brandon

I wasn't doubting you, just never knew it
I'm familliar with the color, I had it on a G-Body (Olds Cutlass) for many years. I loved that car, but sold it about 3 years ago to buy my Belair. Here's a pic, it's not a truck, but wtf!

BADMOFO, its all good. Didn't think you were doubting me. The color doesn't look bad on a G-body either. My trucks in the body shop, just hit a deer. Tryin to get a few aftermarket/upgraded parts on it with the insurance. If that comes out like planned I'll try and get some fresh pics up on here.

How much did it cost for the "Custom Color" option on the truck?

I didn't order the truck, but I'll see if it's on the window sticker when I get the truck back from the body shop.
