    Actually I’ve found the blue magnetism on my 2020 Prime to be quite strong and resistance to paint issues

    Not a Prime color, but my favorite Toyota color is Tideland Pearl on my 2004. Supposedly green, but more of a grey aside from at sunset when the green does show through. It barely shows dirt unless it is filthy. Give me a Prime or BEV in that same form factor (including storage) and I'd be all over it.

    The Magnetic Grey prime definitely shows more dirt, but is much better than the black. From what I've seen, Titanium Glow is the best at hiding dirt. Overall, I like the look of the magnetic grey the best (even more than black), though for laziness about cleaning, I would have considered the Titanium Glow.

    Heck yeah! I bought my 07 Tacoma lightly used from a dealer and it was heavily discounted because it was desert sand mica and no one wanted it. I love the color, it stays cool in summer and hardly shows dirt. 10 years of tight 4x4 trails and it shows pinstriping but thats about it.

    I have a Prime in magnetic grey and while I think it's the better looking color it does get hot, so does the black interior. I wish there was more color options honestly, I would've loved to have the car in Lunar Rock.

    I want a color that is conspicuous. I want other drivers to notice me before they pull out in front of me. I do not want a car that is fog colored, or cloud colored, or forest colored here in western Washington. If I lived in the desert I would not want a car that is hill colored or sand colored.

    I think the aqua and white are the most visible Prius Prime colors. They are also the best-looking colors in my opinion.

    I am also keeping my fog lights on with the lights in the automatic mode. Some drivers seem to ignore the small headlights of the Prius Prime and the fog lights greatly enhance the visibility to other drivers. Of course, they are only available on the Limited trim, which is the right trim to get for anyone with sufficient money as far as the safety features are concerned. The XLE trim omits the crucial blind-spot monitor as well as the rear-cross-traffic alert. The LE trim further comprises the safety by omitting the auto-on headlights.

    More money can enhance your safety and increase your life expectancy—if you have it. ;)
