    I was so happy that Toyota Prius came in dark Blue. It's my favorite color. Honestly, I never liked the color of my 09 RAV4 Pacific blue. So when I saw the blue Prius I traded the RAV. I'm so much happier for many reasons.

    Love my Sea Glass Pearl... it was the closest in a new Prius I could get to Silver Pine Mica (my favorite color)... but that Black Cherry Pearl catches my breath every time I have seen one in the sunlight...

    :DAnything but black. Just too much effort to maintain. My all time preference is silver. Classy, sleek, and easy to keep. My Prius is winter gray . Wasn't my first choice or only choice, but different from three straight metallic red vehicles. Since I've added the Prius 5, 17" wheels, and medium tint, I'm very happy with the color and look.

    If you could tell Toyota what color to include in their next Prius would you suggest?

    I love the Nautical Blue and wished I would have gotten it, but it was only in the 4 and the only colors they had in the 3 was red or gray. I chose the red.

    Classic silver metallic. Shows the lines of the car well, and very low maintenance.

    That bluish gray it came in back in '04

    It is easy to keep, inconspicuous, and professional looking.

    Silver with the standard 17" rims always looks clean even when dirty and the rims are the easiest to clean ever.

    I went with the Winter Gray Metallic, it's not black and it's not silver.

    I love my winter gray. My favorite color has always been silver gray but my wife's car is silver gray.

    Next in order are the Barcelona Red and the Sea Glass Pearl. The new Sea Glass Pearl really looks nice.

    Sea Glass Pearl, nice clean looking color. The best part is it does not show the dirt hardly at all! :)
