Re: Butternut Yellow

Here's the only one I know of. It was a favorite of mine even though I am not a big fan of yellow.

Re: Butternut Yellow

I like it. Close to a factory color for these trucks. Just a little different. There is a step side here in town almost that color. Look forward to seeing it done.

Re: Butternut Yellow

I'm not normally a fan of yellow, but love Butternut Yellow. My dad has a '69 396 SS in that color and it seems to look really good on most cars. It doesn't have that in-your-face look of most yellows. More subdued. Never seen a pickup in that color, but I think it'll look great. Should have a stock sorta feel, even though it's not a stock color.

Re: Butternut Yellow

Me not being a huge fan of any yellow vehicle, I actually like the butternut yellow on that camaro and nova.. Its very subtle and doesn't jump out at you.
