seaside blue or another color

After looking at the colors on Toyota's site, I went around San Diego to see what the colors really looked like "in the flesh." I then narrowed it down to Seaside, Tideland and Driftwood (this was in 2005).

Blue is my favorite color so it was easy to choose Seaside Pearl.

 

Careful ... you don't want to rile up the Cool Chicks in a Black Prius membership.

I've always thought black cars looked sharper than others. Seaside is a beautiful color, though.

 

No right or wrong answer here, as color is just a preference.

I opted for a Seaside Pearl, based on nothing more than the color chips on Toyota's web site.

Were I to do it all over again, I'd get another Seaside Pearl. My wife, who would love for us to get another Prius, informed me that she'd like the second Prius to be a Barcelona Red.

 

My favorite color in general is blue, but for a car... I like it dark. I have a black Prius, and I think it's sexier than all other colors I think blue in a car would look pretty, but black (or gray) looks elegant.

Of course the red cars are much faster while using less fuel. A recent study also found that the owners of Red Prius were universally intelligent, good looking and smell good too.

I would've also liked green, which is my wife's favorite color, but that wasn't available (although it was for the Gen I Prius). I know, whatever color the Prius is, it's still green.

You know bhaynnes... I've heard the EXACT same thing about the owners of Seaside Pearl Prii! There's also an added bonus when the color matches your eyes!

 

We have two seaside pearls and both still love the color. Although, now everybody in Madison seems to have a seaside pearl Prius, or so it seems, so we don't feel so unique anymore.

 

I love all the colors ...I thought I was ordering the "green" car and was surprised when Seaside Pearl was Blue...but I LOVE IT!

I saw a bunch of them "in person" at our Long Island Club meet yesterday...they are all stunning.

My Camry was silver and I always remembering how hard it was to locate in a big parking lot.

The Seaside Pearl really stands out!

Black is great, too!

I'm happy with the blue...

Hey! I can make my eyes match my (red) car also.

I was afraid you were going to say that...

 

I have seaside and love it. I was overly analytic about it, believing that blue is going to be the "in" color in 5-10 years and would help my resale value. I then saw the Salsa red and fell in love with that one as well. I could be talked into Salsa over Seaside, but Barcelona does nothing for me.

 

I have my Prius on order with the Seaside Pearl color as blue is one of my fav colors. Of course, to be flexible I told the dealer that I would be open to the other colors too (except white). So whichever model and color that comes in around Nov I will go for. I like the Metallic Grey color too.

I'd have to agree!

 

I think we need our own "Really Cool Peeps Who Drive Seaside Pearl Prii Club" or something like that anyway.

 

I saw one sitting in the restaurant parking lot while out at lunch today. Very nice color. Even the non-Prians commented on it.

Prians. Now we're even our own race. I love it! HEE!

Speaking of Race....... Did I mention that the Red cars are faster while using less fuel?
