What Color Is My Prius?!

AJMasterson · 04-21-2007, 01:04 PM

I am the proud new owner of a Prius, but I have no clue what the actual name of the color, or what option package for that matter, that I have.

On Autotrader, the color was listed as "light green", but on the sticker it said "gray". I have looked at color options for 2005 and it does not appear that Magnetic Gray" was available at that time, but neither Tideland Pearl or Millennium Silver appear to match the color I have.

As far as the options package go, things seem pretty basic. I know that I do not have GPS or JBL, no leather and nothing else, so I am assuming it is most likely whatever the lowest package is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A photo would help...

It's probably Tideland...if there's a greenish hue it is....it's a fascinating color as it changes dramatically depending upon the quaility and direction of the light.

I'll second the speculation that it's probably Tideland Pearl, which is what most cool Prius owners drive :P
A quick Google search of "Tideland Pearl" brings up THIS pic, which might look familiar to somebody on this board.

"Light Green" could also mean Silver Pine Mica, but it's hard to mistake that as gray.

The toyota / prius web has all the color options there. Look, and let us know!

Don't know about color. Rear wiper now standard for 2005. My info for 2005 packages follows: P1-front side & curtain side airbags; P2-smart keyless entry/starting, univer.garage door opener, alarm; P3- P1 + smart keyless entry/start; P4- P1 + antiskid system, smart keyless entry/start, auto day/nite rearview mirror, xenon headlites, fog lites; P5- P1 + JBL Sys w/ cass & 6 CD changer, univer.garage opener,alarm; BJ P6- P1 + smart keyless entry/start, JBL Sys, NAV Sys, alarm; BC P6- BJ P6 + antiskid sys, xenon hdlites, fog lites.

Hope that helps. Also, dealer should be able to tell equipment from VIN.

It's defintely Tideland Pearl, as I too recently bought a 2005, and thought it was Magnetic Grey, only to find out that Magnetic didnt come out until 2006. Silver Pine Mica wasn't out in 2005 either.

Thanks, guys! Bohous, that picture you linked to is EXACTLY what mine looks like!

The first link, that is... The Tideland Pearl.

And thank you, Priusincc, I do believe that mine is Package 1.
