    Any of you Mag Gray or Tideland drivers got a pic of the two colors side by side?

    Of course I can tell them apart from the badges and grill, but the colors seem very similar. Tideland seems more green, but I still haven't seen them together.

    Magnetic Grey is solid darkish grey. (or light charcoal if that helps).

    Tideland Pearl is grey-green, more cement (on the greyscale).

    You can see all the colors here. Yeah, Tideland Pearl seems more greenish.

    The bottom line for me is that both are lovely. Both are Priuses.

    The Tideland Pearl (great name, BTW) looks grey in every light but in bright light looks greenish-grey.

    The Magnetic Gray (don't you love that name?!) looks anywhere from grey (bright light) to black-ish (dimmer conditions & far away).

    What really counts is what you like & what you want. As far as I know, they both drive exactly the same. :)

    Yeah, I ordered a Classic Silver, but a Magnetic Grey with package #7 (which I ordered) happen to come in first, and I fell in love with it immediately; I think I like it even better than the Silver because everybody where I live has a Silver one (well, everyone who owns a Prius, which is quite a bit for a small town).

    Actually, a Driftwood Pearl came in before that, but I didn't like it at all. Beige I can deal with, shiny I defintely like, but shiny beige is just wrong (no offense to you Driftwood Pearl owners; this is just my own taste).

    Come to think of it, with the above exception, all the colors are great. At least on the web page there and in the brochure.
