    Yes. Not too many people took the "Misty Grey" option in the Gen 3 (which was a very light grey with purple door inserts and centre console armrest) but it is leather so it will see colour.

    I do like Moonstone (even though it's not offered in Canada) just because of its contrasting design.

    You can get exactly the color you want with a Silverado pickup, a Ford F-150, or Chrysler 1500 pickup. Go for the color, the metal art work that matches your artistic goals.

    I see your point that the white with moonstone interior is a "too-bright" combo. I went and looked at a regular Prius in white and they all had black interiors, which seems to make sense. What is with the name "Blizzard Pearl" anyway? I keep seeing an oyster driving a hybrid in a snowstorm. Blue and red seem like the best colors for me. I'll likely get blue unless I see one and hate it before I commit. Has anyone gotten blue and regretted it?

    Not one person who commented about the color of my car said anything negative and I get a lot of comments:D

    Well the paint that is replacing Blizzard Pearl (it's been 15 years now) is called Whiteout. Now it's a polar bear in a blizzard with just two black eyes showing.

    So I finally saw a blue one. The color didn't wow me. It looks distinctive, though. That will have to do.

    Gray.

    I have a red car and can't deal with it (not the Prius). I feel like I need to match the car. I wish I was kidding. That limits me to black. I don't have this issue with my gray Prius. It's only with the red car, the blue and plum crazy purple ones don't make nuts like this.

    If not matching your car isn't an issue, get which ever color you like best.

    White is the most visible color from a distance. My past 2 purchases have been white.

    Only if you get rid of that big black grille. :eek:
    Otherwise black or another dark color looks better to disguise it. I like the newer blue color too.
