If you could own any color Prius...

No fair.

I want a color that isn't listed.

I want a deep indigo....a deep blue that almost turns to violet but not quite.

You mean I have to limit myself to current colors? What if someday the Prius is made in my dream color?

And no mention of interiors.

I would like a blue with a gray interior, but gray interior isn't offered for blue.

 

Deep indigo...almost violet! I want that too!! My favorite color is purple

If tideland came with the grey/burgundy interior that would have been my first choice. I really like how, at least for me, it is hard to tell if it is green or grey. It is always changing depending on the light. I like to think of it more like gunmetal.

 

I would have rather had the blue. They had a blue the following week, though I think it was lower package.

Anyone want to trade a 2004 Salsa Red with 23K on it for a Seaside Pearl?
Better not, that would create havock on extended warranty and financing.

 

I voted for the Salsa in the poll, but we're getting a Silver (hopefully next week). I picked the color for our last car (Malibu), so wife gets to select this time <g>

 

DanMan32, our Seaside Pearl AM has 24K on it, and my SO has said the red is really nice! Maybe a roadtrip to Florida...we have friends and family somewhere on the east coast of Florida...do a little bartering...a little sun and surf...

Silver was my 1st choice, but the Seaside (her first choice, go figure) came in with the right package for us. Now a Silver AM tops the list for my SO. She's not at all hard to figure (sarcasm).

 

In compliance with the rules of this poll, since I don't already have a Prius, I picked the color I want, which is Tideland Pearl.

I saw a Tideland and a Seaside side by side at a dealership this week, ready for delivery to their respective new owners. The Seaside (blue) is nice, but much a brigher blue than I had imagined...reminicent of my first car, a 1972 Opel Rallye which had matte black hood and striping. The Tideland (green) is far more subtle than I thought, and like it even more, confirming that as my color preference.

I've only seen one other Prius ever...on a street in Hartford, in Driftwood, which was certainly a nice color as well, and would be my second choice at this point.

I hate white cars (I call them "nurse wagon white"). Interesting that the poll reflects at least a lack of interest in white as well.

 

I voted for Salsa Red (please don't tell my Tideland Pearl).

 

I'd take the black if it had a metalflake. I love both the red and blue, but took a silver because I had to have the gray interior...

I absolutely second that. My ideal combination would have been the Seaside Perl with the gray interior, however since that is not offered I went with the white exterior, since the interior color was more important to me than the exterior.

I want electrostatic paint that changes color according to my mood.

The longer I sit in a traffic jam, the redder it gets.

Otherwise, various shades of blue...

 

I would want black with lightning on it.
You know how drag racers like black with flames shooting back from the front, well I want that with lightning instead of flames, with obvious implications.

"MoodPaint"! (think: MoodRings...remember those?) What a great idea!

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(onerpm\";p=\"87156)</div>

I generally prefer a dark, charcoal interior (not sure about the "burgundy" part of that on the Prius) but it's not an overriding necessity for me.

I have a tan "Oak" interior on the truck which is nice. Prior to that, most of my vehicles have had a dark, charcoal interior.

 

No love for the super white? OK, I guess it is a boring color. I like blue, but like the others, prefer a indigo blue color. Picked white because it was on the lot with the package 6 I wanted. Also light color cars are more practical for Bakersfield, where the summer temps are often in the low 100s .

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(finman\";p=\"87148)</div>

Thanks Finman, but I'd rather stick with package 9 (now sold as package 6). I've gotten fond of the NAV.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(LOLGuy\";p=\"87154)</div>

Exactly my sentiments.

The Salsa Red is the first red I've ever seen on a car that I liked. Sort of a merlot color -- and like all the Prius "Pearl" colors, alters in different levels of sunlight.

 

Isn't the Seaside kind of, well, girly? I don't know if I've ever seen one in person, but I always get the impression it's "robin egg blue". The brochures and online samples do NOT give you a good idea of the colors, and of course seeing one in a dealership is mission impossible.

Edmonds.com puts in a "color adjustment" when you do used car pricing. The most neutral colors (rental car colors, I call them - Silver, Tan, medium blue) gave higher prices. Black was neutral, white took some dollars off. It sounds statistically accurate, but not necessarily individually so.

Wish I had seen a Tideland in person, sounds like a very cool color, not so flattering in the brochure.
