    I have a dark grey (winter grey in the US?), but that is not my favourite, it was the one I was left with after I excluded all the other ones...
    I never like whites, and I really wanted black, but it is not metallic and matte black to me is dull. Audi and BMW have wonderful blacks with hints to deep blue or super dark brown that shine and make the car glow. Matte black....a "no-no".
    Blue is too electric (I would say it is a Japanese blue) and I could never see a Red live, so I didn't want to risk it - maybe it is a nice colour, but I have still never saw one live to this day, not even during my trips to the US for biz.
    Plain silver looks very classy and it is certainly good for the dirt marks, but everybody has silver... ;)
    What the Prius would need IMHO is a dark metallic green (with a tinge of blue in it), a decent fiery red, a classy metallic blue (not something that looks like a video game - sorry, do not want to offend anybody - it is simply to "electric" for my taste and for this type of car), a nice metallic black (they could get one from Lexus!!).
    For sure I don't miss the metallic brown used by BMW to launch the X1 in Germany - it looks like Nutella (a chocolate spread very famous in the EU) or well, like...s**t....
    So, to finally answer the question - I have no favourite colour for the 2010 Prius. It could be red, but I never saw one live...so for all I have seen, I have none.

    I thought my car was Sandy Beach Metallic, but now I realized it must have some sort of stealth paint on it. Just today, I had three people pull in front of me like I wasn't even there.

    The best Prius color is one that most of you have probably never seen.

    BAM.

    The best factory car color ever goes to Lexus' ultrasonic blue.
