Featured Here's Why This Toyota Prius Changed The World

Can't beat the gen 1 deep green. Sorry.

 

Forgive his ignorance. He's sorta new here

 

I agree, it's near same color of house I moved into last fall.

 

I meant your tideland jewel by aquamarine. Blue magnetism is turquoise jewel as my signature says. LOL

 

(sigh)

 

Seems you are thinking color example for tideland pearl looked like on Toyota's website. That wasn't the color. I that was actually one of the gen1 ones used there.

The color chip the dealer was almost black. Scared me off, and I went with driftwood, which I regretted after seeing a tideland in the wild.

Tideland pearl is a dark grey/olively green. It is one of those colors that shift with lighting. On overcast days, it can appear like a charcoal, with more green as more light comes out. Reminded me of the color of the bay where we spent summers, which is likely where the name came from.

 

Ah, you are right! By the “best Prius color ever” (perhaps only second to my Gen 4 PHEV Blue Magnetism), I was thinking of the Silver Pine Mica, which is a light green, not the Tideland Prius, which is too grayish for me (although the latter would make a good color choice for house sidings). (Sorry, @Tideland Prius.) Light green is perhaps the safest color because it is the most visible, and it keeps cool because it is light. Light green was very popular in the past, especially on Honda Civic, but now, it has all but disappeared.

Here is the Silver Pine Mica Gen 2 Prius. Another jewel!
