Sy/Ty's don't have clear.
I'm almost positive my SoGT (Bright Teal) is Base/Clear, why wouldn't the TY's be the same? I can see that the SY's were a year earlier so possibly not.

My TEAL SoGT seems to be somewhere inbetween the two.

If you look inside the door near the hinges on the second pic... It seems to be a different color. I wonder if it was a repaint? Did a good jon on the firewall if it was. I think some of the other pics on Ebay show color varriations better but I dunno. Just my

They didn't start using base/clear at the factory on S-Series until 1994,the 2nd gen body style.

Re: what color?

FWIW, I was looking at the PPG paint samples for 1992-1993 GM trucks today, and they have 5 or 6 different teals. "Bright Teal" is the one used on Typhoons, though Merk has mentioned that a different teal may have made it onto at least one Typhoon as a test-color.
I would say that the reason for the differences in those pictures lies in the condition of the paint, the lighting, and the photo development.

Re: what color?

it all depends on the camera/lighting. teal is a strange color....looks best in very low light imho.

I think it looks good, but I'm known to turn gay at 10:30PM every night, so take that for what it's worth.

Re: what color?

so mine may have been "Bright teal". Nothing gay about that. :D

and these darker green teals were just HOMO Teal? ;)

I'll trade my dark green metallic for a teal anyday. I think besides the white/white Ty's the teal runs a close second along with the blue Ty's looking the best. And my booty is EXIT ONLY......FO SHO. I've just always liked being different. Since age 16 having 2 yellow S-10's and 1 yellow S-10 Blazer.

Bright Teal is the gay color. I don't know what the other teal looks like. PPG also had "Dark Teal", "Dark Teal Metallic", "Light Teal", and maybe another one as well listed for GM in '92-'93. I don't know which of these supposedly made it to a Typhoon as a test-color.
