    Not bad. Maybe a reddish sunset orange.

    I was going to make it pink, but it looked fruity

    It makes it look like a cheap and cheesy econobox. Yuck

    I think Bugs Bunny would disagree with the poll.

    I just changed it to hot pink and even tried purple. Those colors don't look good on the Prius or any car in my opinion. Orange or yellow is decent if you get the right shade.

    Did you intentionally pick an orange you found unattractive?
    From where did you get this color?
    Certainly there are more attractive versions of orange you could have used.

    I didn't think about what orange it was, just picked the first orange from the color palette

    try a Hunter Green to see what that looks like. I've always thought that would look good on a Prius. I think the Gen-1's had that as a color option.

    Another one that would possibly look good is a Black Cherry like the Scion's have.

    I know you are experimenting with the lighter colors but those two I just mentioned would be kewl IMO.

    Wood paneling anyone??? :lol:

    I really liked the "estate green" from my old Sport Trac, could never tell when the thing was dirty. I do love my Salsa Red. Mom had a purple Duster back when I was in High School (long ago and far away....)

    Perfect for Denver Bronco rallies and games, otherwise, best used at Halloween.

    Can I ask to see the purple, without anyone casting aspersions? B)
    I was thinking of a dark shade, sort of like the Salsa with a bit of blue added to the palette.

    Oh, dear.

    Just my opinion, but if that's the color I've seen on other cars, I have to say that I find it repulsive.

    I've named it "Bad News Urine Test".

    (For the record, I am not a fan of a purple Prius.)

    Not really digging the "Aveo Orange" too much....

    But to be honest, you did a great job on those pics and the purple really rocks!!! B)
