    Other than Touring or not, the color is my final decision. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Ron

    I have a Silver Pine and love it. I get the same reaction from everyone who sees it... first, when I tell them it's like a light green, they say "light green?" like I've lost my mind. Then, when they see the car, they say "hey... that IS a nice color!"

    You have two choices, actually: Magnetic Grey, or a second-rate color.

    We strongly favor the White, although the Barcelona red looks supersharp as well. You can see several good pictures of the white in the superwhite thread below.

    We have a super white, and I really like it. It's sharp, it doesn't look dirty right after it's washed, and it's very visible on the highway. It also looks BIGGER next to any of the colored ones...

    Silver Pine Mica is superior to the most casual observer. Green for a green car, what else! Silver is a precious metal and the pine reminds us of forest of trees replenishing our atmosphere with breathable oxigen.

    Watch out for Magnetic Gray. Metal objects will come flying toward your car and greatly increase the incidents of rock chips (from metal shards).

    Super White will be busy fighting crime to rid the world of evil.

    Barcelona Red is an alian color from Spain.

    Seaside Pearl will get washed away by the high tide.

    Mine is a "Red Mica Metallic" 2007 Prius, the color code is identical to that of Barcelona red. My GF picked out the color and we both think it's the nicest color one can buy a Toyota in.

    The car had been mine for two hours when this picture was taken:

    Some want to exaggerate the cars futuristic look with magnietic grey + tint and that looks cool
    The Pine is a bit too colorless in my eyes.
    The White is surprisingly cute
    The Red stands out too much
    The Black stands out too much
    The Blue is soft and I like it

    For the 30th anniversary we have:

    Vader Black
    Imperial Guard Red
    Stormtrooper White

    The answer is: This color hides Toyota's primer the best.

    Alex, What is white?

    How about a Super White with stripe and tint.......well, maybe I'm a little biased?

    "Super White, Barcelona Red, Silver Pine Mica or Seaside Pearl?"

    White isn't a color it is primer.
    Silver and Pearl? They are sort of colors.
    Red - great color
    Black (not asked) person can't make up mind and adds all colors getting black.

    White is the most classic, timeless color.
