    Aqua Blue Metallic on order - pretty sure it`s a color not available outside of Japan so probably won`t help you much. :)
    I`m 28, my husband is 29. Our color preferences are pretty much the same. Didn`t want black because a past car was black and got VERY hot inside - white is the color of "business" use cars here so also out. Don`t really like straight silver as a car color (way too common), and hate red cars. Our current car is blue and we wanted a change so blue was also out. That left us with the Iceberg Silver (Also Japan only) and the Aqua Blue. We checked the sales figures and found that the Aqua Blue was the least popular color, so chose it.

    64 Male - Blizzard Pearl. All my other cars are basically silver in different shades.
    I like silver because it is easy to maintain and keep looking new.

    Red IV solar on order

    I tried to like the silver and blizzard, but I saw the RED at the dealership and fell in love.

    Can't wait until she comes in.

    Blizzard Pearl.

    Had a choice between Black and Pearl as they were the only two available cars in the state when I called around. I much rather take care of a white car than a black one. Silver would have been an alternate acceptable choice.

    49, Blizzard White, Originally I was looking at a Silver Prius then realized I've been driving Silver or Grey Metallic cars since 1981 and I needed a change. The only 2 reasons I got the Blizzard White is they didn't have a Red available during the C4C promotion. And the second is I also thinking about a light color like Silver or White to save on gas and AC usage during the summer.
