Brilliant Blues

Count me in. I take no offense to the term "Baby Blue". (Checks pants): My masculinity remains intact.

You know, speaking of colors, many people feel that their vehicle is an extension of their sexuality, yet others feel its a complement to it.

Case in point: The ultra-macho biker will paint his custom chopper in a beautiful shade of purple, a color he would never wear, but his woman will wear the color to match.

I chose seaside because it was friendly and seemed to fit the character of the car. Yet I was startled once when a guy at the auto parts store came out to see it because it said "It sure is a pretty color." (No, he wasn't gay). He looked at it the way I look at a girl, and suddenly, I understood.

Count me in the club. ;-)

And I noticed you put another car in between it and the vastly superior Magnetic Grey there!

 

Actually, that's an Aztec Bronze. Is that what the US calls Tideland Pearl? Picture was taken in 2005, so predates Decuma Grey.

 

Awesome! I just joined Priuschat a few days ago, and didn't know this "GROUP" existed. Roxanne says "Hello!"

 

Hmm... I just spotted this thread myself... don't know how I missed it. I want in too!

When I was shopping Seaside was my first choice and Barcelona Red was my second. Really, any colour would have sufficed - as long as it wasn't SILVER. I see way too many silver cars on the road, and did not want to contribute to that colourless epidemic! B)

As well, I think I have seen a total of only maybe three or four other blue Prii in the 11 months I have had my car... if you can believe that! But then again there are very few Prii around here to start with...

I do think Seaside is the nicest colour for this car, though that is probably a biased comment. :lol:

 

Here's another:

Two more...

 

Last weekend I took Roxanne on a trip to commemorate her first 25,000 miles and a new set of tires. Here she is parked next the beautiful dunes of Grayton Beach, FL.

The lady and I also took her to some caves, and a canyon...no pics of that, though. I'm gonna give her a bath tomorrow.

 

Well, please add "Coastie" to the list of Brilliant Blues.
Coworkers all name their cars, and "Coastie" seemed a natural -
first to honor the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, which uses a similar color,
and second, since I spend a lot of time coasting to regenerate battery power
in the coastal hills.

 

Here's my "brilliant blue" after a wash/wax today, with the sun going down quickly.

 

[attachmentid=7257]Hmmm. So that's its official name. After seven years at Westwood, I thought it was Bruin Blue.

 

Finally... a group that showcases the best looking Prii out there. I'm in. Here's mine... looking a little dusty out in Death Valley National Park.
