    It's not a Mac thing. I downloaded it and have attached it.
    That's really sharp.

    How do I vote "All of the above"?

    Manufacturers should make cameleon cars so that your whole family can choose their own choice of colour when they drive the same car. Cool idea, eh? Whoever make this idea into reality will become filthy rich. Just don't forget to give me a cut for my originality.

    I think so too. I miss the 2002 Prius color "Blue Moon Pearl". Only sold that color in 2002. :(

    I would choose the one I like best.

    For me I like classic colors. Hence my burdensome choice of picking "black". But I'm not much into any "Candy Shop" type of colors. So my personal choice would be none of the above.

    When a color for an automobile is described in culinary terms or attached to adjectives that usually describe fruits or vegetables...usually it ends up being a color I personally wouldn't want. The longer the name, the worse the color. Do I really want Donner Party Blizzard Starvation Canibal White? Or Manic Depressive Stormy Winters Day Grey?

    I would call your entire line-up the "I'm going to get beat up and my Car will be vandalized" color pallet. Good Luck with those...

    So I took your last color and applied a similar treatment to a Gen III.

    You should grow (by a bunch) and reshape your polka-dots to make your car look like an Orca. Considering the shape of the Prius and where you live, that would be a natural.:cool:

    Being from Texas, the pink one just makes me think of manly, rugged, Texas cowboys. And, yes, I'm serious.


    There is a breast cancer awareness campaign in which Wrangler (blue jeans) participates...are you tough enough to wear pink? The premise is that only the manliest men can successfully wear pink, and Wrangler-wearing cowboys are the manliest around.

    You'd definitely have to be tough to pull up to the local gun range in a pink Prius...heck, Bubba and Cletus already look funny at me when I park between their trucks in my white Prius.

    The color you created is almost ideal for the breast cancer venue. Might be a different way to successfully market it?

    Okay, today in Olympia, we saw....

    are you ready?

    ...a PURPLE Prius. Purple. Eggplant. Aubergine. Dark, deep, vibrant PURPLE.

    It was a Gen II... and PURPLE.

    It was GLORIOUS!!
