But so are a lot of the other colors!  That Tideland Pearl though... only a mother could love![/b]

The green? Geeky, which is its main attraction for many.[/b][/quote]
Yup, definitely geeky. Saw it in person side by side with a Seaside Pearl. While the brochure and website seem to make them similar intensities, the Seaside was far brighter than I imagined, and the Tideland far more subtle.

Although, if I had the choice, my overriding first preference would be the dark blue with the charcoal interior that is available in Japan.

Seldom have so many agreed over so little on this forum.

If not for the problem of keeping it clean I would love a black car with tinted windows. Other than that School bus yellow is my favorite much to the horror of my wife.

I just realized that I have never seen the original Tideland on a G2 "in the wild" . I've seen it on the classic, though. Seen a lot of the '05 version, though. I like it much better. Still love my Salsa, though, I also like the Seaside a lot.

I don't believe that Tideland Pearl was available prior to 2004/G2.

Please refer to John's very handy color chart: http://john1701a.com/ under "Prius Info"..."Colors."

Well, whatever they called it, it was similar to the green offered on the 04. Maybe the Tideland is a little darker. Only saw it once at the dealer.

Okay, I've seen the Aqua Ice classic.

Electric Green Mica?

Prius in yellow might look nice?

AnOldHouse posted earlier comments referring to John's web site for an example of colors. When I went to pick up my Tideland Pearl, I was really unhappy and ended up with the Red Salsa even though it did not have leather. (Add later) It is hard to get a look at the color before buying. The color charts are really misleading on the Tideland Pearl and John's color display does nothing to aid this. Although his whole web site is wonderful. I would have probably ordered the blue which I think is beautiful after seeing one. But I am really glad I back-doored into the Red Salsa.

Before I bought my Prius, Toyota gave me sample blocks with the real colors. The Internet pictures are quite different than the real stuff for most colors.
