    White would have been the second choice for me.

    Back in the summer of '11 when Prii were in short supply due to the earthquake & tsunami, I had a Barcelona Red III on reserve, waiting for delivery. However, I found my first choice, a Blizzard Pearl II, at another dealer and bought it.

    I have Barcelona red, but if I had a real choice when buying a used prius, I would have wanted sea foam green.

    I had a 2010 Prius III in Barcelona Red. I liked the color. One of the better reds out there. Now I have the Black Cherry Pearl Persona, so I guess I go for the colorful models...

    So most of you Barcelona Red owners would rather get something else than the other red color, Black Cherry Pearl, as 2nd choice?

    You have to want a Persona for the BCP so that may eliminate a lot of potential fans of the color...

    I bought a red Prius 4 three weeks ago, and the red was my first choice. For some reason I love it with the bisque interior but not with the gray. (And yes, I know the pillars and headliner are still gray. Weird, but I can live with it.)

    IMG_0102.JPG When I had my Barcelona Red one guy said it looked like Ferrari Red... (It's just not as fast). I really liked the color and still look at other BR Prii as one of the more interesting colors.

    Does red fade? I see a lot of other red cars out there with faded paint, including one I owned a long time ago.

    mine is red also. I did have an 11 and traded for a 12, same color. My mom did buy a 12 white. That would have been my second choice.

    Dear Toyota,

    Please bring back green as a color on the GenIII Prius. If not, please adopt the orange from the Prius C into the
    Prius GenIII line. The available colors are MUCH too sedate!

    I guess I'm just not keeping up with the latest releases...

    I just looked up Sea Glass Pearl. I would have preferred a bolder green like could be found on the GenI Prius. The colors in general are more pastille than I would like.
