That doesn't look to be a factory color for '77.

Mariner Blue is a metallic paint, but not that deep. Hawaiian Blue is similar to Mariner, but it is a solid paint with no metallic.

Id say yours "was" most likely mariner blue, but either way im positive thats not the hawaiin blue. Im sure that color did not come out until early 90's but i may be wrong and it may not be the original paint. So forgive me if im mistaken

I've only got that one and one for the 1979 Chevrolet cars. The truck booklet is pretty cool because it also says exactly which models that each color was available on. 10-30 series, 50-90 series, LUV truck, Suburban/Blazer and also Chevy Van.

Who the heck knows to be honest. With a respray of a different color, it could be whatever they picked. Looks darker than Mariner Blue though.
