MFD screen color

Well mine only has green or orange. I like the green a little better because the orange is too bright.

 

I like the orange because I think it goes better with my driftwood pearl and the bisque interior! :lol: (it is all about color coordination, isn't it?)

 

Well, being a Virginia Tech Hokie, I feel obliged to keep the screen orange. I actually kind of like it!

 

Mine is blue, since the car is Seaside Pearl. I didn't like the beige, although it does go well with the bisque interior.

OT, Skwyre7...but what is that fish emblem on the back of your Prius? Just curious...

 

i had the blue for a similar reason to p21... but played around and decided the beige went well with my interior so i switched to that.

 

My current favorite color is Orange because it matches with my woodtrim. Excuse my reflection on the radio -- I just realized it, now that I upgraded to LCD monitor. Wow, the contrast in the old CRT must be really bad.

It's a Science Fish.

Ahh, thank you. I thought it was a darwin fish but it didn't look quite right....darn these 40 year old eyes

 

I'm curious . . .
Did Toyota take into account color blind people with the color schemes for the MFD?

Any color blind PriusChatters have an opinion?

Mine only has green or orange too. Were the color choices reduced from four to two for 2006?

 

Blue is my favorite color. My Prius is Seaside Pearl and the MFD is blue.

I am not colorblind but my brother is. Anything green looks grey to him and anything red looks orange. He can see different shades of green as lighter or darker grey or lighter or darker red. He is an auto mechanic and has no trouble with wiring...he has learned to compensate.

I would guess he would see the green screen as black and white and the orange screen would look orange to him. I will ask him to look at the display and tell me what he sees the next time I see him.

yes, I picked up a 2006 Saturday for my wife, and searched around for quite awhile looking for the 4 background colors you could choose from in the '04s and '05s. Also, the two-color choice you get now isn't really for the full background; instead, the background (depending upon the screen) is mostly dark/black, and the orange or green is the outlines of the buttons, etc.

 

We try to alternate between them every few months to keep it more interesting. Probably the best IMO is the blue, but it would get old after too long.

Nice wood trim! How did you get it?
