After looking at the colors on Toyota's site, I went around San Diego to see what the colors really looked like "in the flesh." I then narrowed it down to Seaside, Tideland and Driftwood (this was in 2005).

Blue is my favorite color so it was easy to choose Seaside Pearl.

Careful ... you don't want to rile up the Cool Chicks in a Black Prius membership. :P

I've always thought black cars looked sharper than others. Seaside is a beautiful color, though.

No right or wrong answer here, as color is just a preference.

I opted for a Seaside Pearl, based on nothing more than the color chips on Toyota's web site.

Were I to do it all over again, I'd get another Seaside Pearl. My wife, who would love for us to get another Prius, informed me that she'd like the second Prius to be a Barcelona Red.

My favorite color in general is blue, but for a car... I like it dark. I have a black Prius, and I think it's sexier than all other colors I think blue in a car would look pretty, but black (or gray) looks elegant.

Of course the red cars are much faster while using less fuel. A recent study also found that the owners of Red Prius were universally intelligent, good looking and smell good too.

I would've also liked green, which is my wife's favorite color, but that wasn't available (although it was for the Gen I Prius). I know, whatever color the Prius is, it's still green. :P

I like Seaside Blue Pearl. I have a sweater that's more or less that colour. I ended up with Tideland Pearl instead.

You know bhaynnes... I've heard the EXACT same thing about the owners of Seaside Pearl Prii! There's also an added bonus when the color matches your eyes!

We have two seaside pearls and both still love the color. Although, now everybody in Madison seems to have a seaside pearl Prius, or so it seems, so we don't feel so unique anymore.
