    Great Pictures!!
    I really like the Tideland Pearl color a lot... it's not at all what I imagined after seeing the color on the brochure. I chose the silver, but if I had it to do over I'd go with either the Tideland Pearl or the Seaside Blue.

    I am a very fussy person about color and only wanted a silver or something with the burgandy/gray interior. I was on a waiting list and offered Tideland Pearl. I was hesitant, since I dislike greens, but pleasantly surprised that this is not at all greenish. It is a steely gray, dark gray to me, and goes beautifully with my waterfront home with gray aged siding. I still would have preferred the gray interior, which I have since seen with a silver in a parking lot. The beige worries me--I keep thinking it will soil more quickly, although others love its fuszz feel and feels luxurious.

    I have taking a few photos by the marshy areas near here and am waiting for the perfect light to show it off it the natural waterfront "tideland" setting for submission for the calendar.

    I just noticed... for some reason this topic is appearing on the calendar as a repeating event, every 15 days. Did Danny really want this topic reminding visitors of its existence every 15 days?

    This is STILL showing up on the Calendar. Could a mod please edit this topic, to unclutter our calendars?

    My wife the artist picked our color -- Tideland Pearl.

    It looks gray-green on cloudy days and in low light and green-gray in the sun.

    We finally got to pick it up this week and we both love the color. :D

    I had the chance of getting my Prius a few weeks earlier, but getting a Driftwood Pearl instead of the Tideland Pearl. I am so glad I waited for the Tideland.

    Plus... it hides dirt really well! :D

    i just took delivery of a 2005 prius silver in color. i wanted the grey interior and this was just one of two or three colors that came with the dark interior. that ivory and tan just will show all the dirt. this is my second prius so i cant sing the praises of this car too much. i love the car and all the tech that comes with it

    Interior

    We have a silver 04 and a tideland 05. The silver has the gray interior and the tideland has the beige interior.

    I love the tideland exterior but the beige is a little too "classy" for me. It looks really nice but I'm afraid to let anyone sit in the car, or put anything in the back without a protective layer.

    The gray interior is more forgiving, but doesn't look as "mercedes."

    I think the tideland is much more distinctive than the silver, more personality.

    That's also because I've been looking at the silver for a year at the tideland for a month...
