What color is your C? What is the worst color for the C?

I think White or Grey is the best color to make the blue C n blue toyota sign pop !

 

Grey, but I won't say the worst color...let's just ay habanero would not be my top three. I won't knock it, it's just not a color I could coordinate my outfits around and doesn't do my skin tone justice, hahahahaha.

White is great, whenever I see white it just catches my eye. I usually consider white a rental car color, but on this car it looks great. I've seen just two red ones in over a year and that color really pops as well; I found myself doing a double take to make sure it was a C.

 

Me is silver, the worst one the light blue in my opinion.

 

Super White, stands out with chrome pillar posts and custom wheels.

 

best is citrus orange mica metallic.

worst.. is a grey or silver.. too dull.. blends in with the rest of the cars on the road.. and in poor weather conditions.. they're pretty much invisible. (at that applies to every other car on the road)

i owned silver cars in the past.. never again.

 

I have the Prius C II in Magnetic Gray Metallic and I love it. The metallic flakes in the paint make it glisten in the sunlight and it is more unique than many of the grays out there. I think the Habenaro is awesome also, but for me was a little too bright for my daily driver. The Blue streak metallic is pretty fantastic also.

 

I have a 2012 Prius C 2 Moonglow. After one year, I am happy I choose Moonglow. I think Black Peral is the worst. it's hot in the summer (does not reflect the heat) and for night driving being black it is hard to see. This gives me safety concerns!

 

to add to my previous post, since i did mention MGM was not my personal favorite due to its visibility issues during overcast or poor weather conditions.. yes.. it certainly does glisten in the sunlight and stands apart from other gray colors on the road.

i actually didn't like habanero at first and thought it too bright, but seeing the gold flake glistening in the sunlight and realizing it wasn't just a flat color.. that's what drew me in.

silver is just... at the bottom of my list. BSP, though nice.. too much a pain to maintain cleanliness and it'll get really hot in the sun.. SW is also nice, though it's flat color compared to moonglow.. yea.. moonglow has it beat.

so sure.. how about i just put it all in order of my preference?
1 - habanero
2 - yellow (damnnit US.. why didn't you bring it over?!)
3 - absolutely red
4 - blue metallic
5 - summer rain (a very unique color..)
6 - moonglow
7 - magnetic gray metallic
8 - super white
9 - black sand pearl
10 - classic silver

after owning colors i now list towards the bottom.. i realized the advantages of having a bright colored color were more important to me.. it started becoming a safety thing more than asking for attention.. a basic one.. never lose your car in a large parking lot (i've even been able to spot my car through a large SUV's windows)

and you're very visible on the road.. if someone can't see you because you're a smaller car.. at least for me, they have no excuse missing a bright traffic cone colored vehicle..

take a look at the majority of cars on our streets.. every other car is either silver, gray, black, or even a dark color that just doesn't stand out as much.. even the dark blues and reds tend to blend in a bit.. you want to stand out from the rest? that's a personal choice.. perhaps you want to just drive and not be noticed. it can still be a good thing.

but for a vehicle this small, dealing with idiotic drivers... especially ones that choose to drive large vehicles that can crush you and have large blind spots that would make you already invisible to them even if you stood out color wise.. that little bit helps... in theory anyway

yeah.. i've been cut off by large suvs because they couldn't see me.... umm.. HELLO?!?! i'm the same color as a traffic cone dude.... Wth?! but mostly it's from drivers being idiotic.. the large semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are better drivers and haven't had any problems seeing my bright car. lol.

 

I chose summer rain because it was different and would stand out, and is different colors depending on lighting.

I think the worst color is super white. Plain white just reminds me of fleet vehicles and appliances for some reason. Moon glow is a nice color though with the pearl in the paint.

 

Testing has consistently shoewn black, grey and blue are the 'worst' colors because they are harder to see, especially at nite. Red attracts the police more than other colors.

 

Ironically, I can confirm that red attracts more than other colors... in two different cars.

In my old car, a 2001 bright yellow Saturn SC2, I was travelling down the highway playing with a Mustang. I accelerated and passed the Mustang just as we both passed a cop sitting in the median. I knew I was toast, so I slowed down and pulled in behind a semi to wait on the cop. He pulled in behind me and then took off after the Mustang. The mustang had slowed down in front of the semi and was doing the speed limit. Not sure why he chose the "red" car that day, but I'll take it.

In my PC Habanero, I was boxed in by two cars doing the same speed (55 in a 60) and cruising next to each other for over 5 miles... I knew a 3rd lane was coming so when it did I romped it and passed the new Camaro that was in the left lane holding people up. I guess he didn't like it as he tried to not let me pass, but I had surprised him and his heavy v6 wasn't quick enough. Unfortunately, as I was moving left to pass, I saw the cop but was already committed. When I moved back into the slow lane to continue on at the speed limit like I wanted, I saw the cop pulling over the Camaro in my rear view.

 

Note to self: Stay way from Z on the road or risk a ticket ; ).

 

I think you're safe. Your car isn't red.

 

But sounds like if it came down to a 50/50 chance we'd know who gets away Scott free and who'd have police issued TP; ha ha!

 

After decades of blue, & one gold Intrigue in the middle…I went with silver. I'm aware that there are plenty of other cars in that color on the road, but it's what I've wanted for a long time. Especially after finding out that Moonglow would have added even more to the bottom line, and a light blue-ish color was all the dealer had.

 

If they ever make the C gold I'd puke. The liftbacks I've seen in gold are horrible. Mint green would be equally as wrong.

I've had gold (77 Camero); blue; burgandy; white; and red. So far the metallic grey is by far my favorite of my cars. Luckily the C has a pretty fair color lineup.

 

I like super white which is what I have. Wanted the Habanero, but, the Irish wife nixed it as too orange. Thank goodness we're past the early Model T days when you could order any color as long as it was black (which I also like).

 

Silver is my favorite.
