depends
if it is lowered then something flashy like a silver flake base and a green candy paint job
If it is stock then a stock color
high preformance a nice tutome or tri tone black silver and red is my favorite
an when in doubt flame it out

OEM looking truck needs an OEM looking paintjob, even if it's a little different color (like the two-tones with the Wimbledon White on the bottom half).
The faster the truck, the faster the paint should look.
Unless of course you're deliberately TRYING to make a sleeper...

Gun metal grey...Or... old faithful ... Black with Powder Coated rims...
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

re: What's your favorite color for your truck? Or paint idea
Lunar green, red, blue, it really doesn't matter as long as it has a white cab roof. I don't know what it is but to me ,ever since I was a kid (Born in 1963) I always thought that the 67-72's looked the coolest that way...
The 73-79's look even look good with the 2 or 3 tone color scheme.
I've owned a 74 LWB and a 75 SWB F100. My 76 Bronco was Dark Green with a white top.
