    I just purchased 2011 Prius III. Winter Grey exterior and Dark grey Interior. My confusion is the dark grey interior? The more I think about it, it doesn't seem all that dark grey. My code on window sticker is FB10 and from other postings this looks like correct code for Dark Grey interior. Can someone please verify that I received the correct color interior or am not going crazy?

    Thanks!

    Do you have a different color arm rest and what's on the doors than the seats? If it's all the same color it is dark grey. If it is two tone, it is misty grey. Misty grey is almost white it is so light, if it's even medium looking grey to you, it is dark grey.

    All are the same color, so that ends the confusion of the color. It is Dark Grey. Love my new car, but wish Toyota truly made it a dark grey.

    That's why Dianne Whitmire calls it "charcoal" so her customers won't expect dark gray when it isn't really dark gray.
