    I'm new here so this may have been answered.
    My wife and I liked the Seaside Pearl on the 2009 Prius. The new blue, from the pictures posted, seems much darker, like a navy blue.
    Can anyone confirm this?
    Thanks.

    The new blue is indeed much darker. Same paint color as on the current Camry Hybrid. Name is Blue Ribbon Metallic.

    The new blue is very similar to Spectra Blue Mica that is on the '08s and '09s.

    No Seaside Pearl for 2010. Blue Ribbon is a deep blue and is offered on the Camry for 2007 and 2008 (for some reason, it was dropped in Canada for 2009).

    Thanks everyone. The darker blue was not available in Canada for the 2009, so I was not familiar with it.

    Spectra Blue was never offered for the Prius in Canada, however it has made it's appearance in the 2001-05 Celica and 2001-2005 RAV4.
