Another color I keep pondering is the military uniform colors. A semi-gloss Air Force print would look cool. I'd have to make it on a larger scale considering all the blocks that would have to be cut out. It would be a heckuva nightmare but some nice rewards at the end!

are you a half full or a half empty guy? Half full, light fun colors. Half empty dark serious tones. Dont like to wash your rig stay away from white and black. Planning to play off road then expect paint damage so stay away from metalics they wont match come time to fix something. Want some one to ohh - ahh your rig and to impress the girls get light bright colors. The easiest way is really to decide what tones you dont want and what colors you hate to narrow the field. I know your pain I got mine down to a few colors and then just grabbed one and ordered the paint so I couldn't think any longer on the options. When all else fails 2 tone it, that way you can only dislike half of it. If you get brain lock just clear coat the primer and be done with it. That way it will look like most of us.
Good luck with your choice in the end it will be the right one for you.

I am really liking the Orange one from Wild Horses with black trim, rims, rings, bumpers, naked lady sillouette, top, roll bar, etc.

It depends on what your truck is. If it is a mild build or stock then go with a classic or original color. If it is a semi custom show stopper go with a more wild bright color. If it is a trail only crazy rock crawler go with a simple color that is easy to touch up. I like the more classic colors on broncos but that just me!

Red is the best color for resale and blue second. Hardest colors to sell I think are greens and orange.

suggestion.. go to some car shows.. nothing like seeing paint in person and how the light reacts to it.. take your time in picking.. but I like intense blue pearl ..
also you may want to pic a newer factory color so you can get a touch up paint at the local parts store..

Mid 1990's Factory Ford Bimini Blue Poly. Call me crazy, but I wanted to go with a factory Ford color. I remembered really liking this color on the F-150s in the mid-ninetees, so I went with it. The original Bronco color was blue, so I stayed in the same color family :)
