    I picked my Moonglow up a week ago and it is beautiful in the sun!! It's slightly off-white with sparkles that have a greenish tint in bright light. I never owned a white car before and never intende to, but when I saw it I really liked it!

    Looks pale green on site and I like that. Not so sure about white. Can anyone upload photo of actual car?

    It's actually pretty difficult to see the green glitter from pictures. You kind of have to see for yourself. I only noticed when I was a few inches away from it. From afar, you would think it's just white.

    Hello everyone. We picked up our Moonglow Prius C 2 last night around 6:00pm. It had 52 miles on it then, Now 15 hours later it has 680. I took it on a little drive today. :) Mixed driving up and down the hills in PA. Averaged 49.8 mpg. My daughter and I took it for a 6.4 mile drive to the local Walmart last night and got an amazing 98.2 mpg down 42.4 back we have a nice long hill to contend with. Anyways, we love it. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

    I have a moonglow 3, it looks pretty damn white. If you try real hard you might see some green but it looks more of a bright white. If don't like white stay away.

    I saw it at the dealership and thought it was a white car. This was around dusk. If I look at it at weird angles, a tiny bit of shimmering color would show up, but it's really hard to see. At night it definitely looks white. In fact this is so white I wonder why Toyota even made an actual white Prius C.

    I went to the dealership thinking I'd buy anything BUT moonglow. But I saw and I was just like hey, this is really cool in person. You can see the sparkles here and there, and it's really cool when you do, but it is mostly white. Pretty though.

    When I first went to see the C - I asked what Moonglow was. Salesman showed me a car in Moonglow (I think it was the C) and another in Super White right next to each other - told me the Moonglow has "glitter" in it.

    The Moonglow has a very slight glittery or sparkly appearance to it but the main thing I noticed was that it was a "softer" white - kinda "creamy". I agree that when it's by itself it just looks "white".

    YMMV

    I never intended to by a white car either but when I saw the Moonglow I really liked it as well. It does look different at different angles and lighting conditions, I really love it under bright light very sparkly and beautiful!

    I have stared and stared at mine, even when covered in pollen I have hard time seeing the green glitter.

    ^ Soooo pretty! I have yet to see Moonglow in person. Just the Super White, which was my 2nd choice of color. However, the Moonglow is not as in your face it seems. Judging from photos, I like it!

    During my shopping for a C the salesperson and I walked and drove thru the whole sales lot under the hot sun for 20 minutes just looking for this color unable to find it. Then after driving back to the office the manager pointed out the moonglow just outside sitting next to a regular white C. The white and moonglow were so similar the salesman couldn't tell the difference.

    I was washing my moonglow at dusk and was amazed at how EXTRA moonglowy it became with water refractive qualifies seemingly making the green pop. I love it, but then again I searched seven dealers just to get this color lol I knew I wanted it
