Friends: 40 | That looks like Phantom Pearl Grey, but that's not an available color for the Prius. Interesting...

Friends: 0 | It is a tideland. The tideland looks very different based on weather conditions. The picture indicates it is very sunny out. This is when the tideland looks the grayest to me. On very cloudy mornings, my tideland looks much more green. Jeff |

Friends: 18 | Camera's white balance can also affect how "gray" it appears. I've shot mine and gotten it to look that gray, when in person, it still appeared quite green. |

Friends: 0 | The tideland by me in Boulder (the demo car) looks silver gray, just like the photo. I couldn't believe it was "green." I remember one day in 1990 when two brand new red MR2 turbo's rolled off the truck at the same time in Michigan. They were the same color code, but were markedly different shades of red. Very evident when parked next to each other. At least the car matched itself all over... For those of you with too much time on your hands, this company http://www.xrite.com specializes in matching colors on different materials. They make that machine at Home Depot that scans your sample and mixes house paint to match, also they make a machine for body shops that scans a painted car and tells the technician how to mix to make it match. This accounts for the factory variance in batches as well as fading, lighting conditions, angles, pearl coats, flex agent (for flexible body parts), and the material being painted. Way cool, they hold the patents for all this stuff, too. Nate |
