    I received a call today and I have a #4 Silver Pine Mica on the way in about a week. The dealer actually called it Silver Spruce.

    This was my second color choice after Classic Silver and from what I can see on the Toyota website, I think I will like it as well as the Classic Silver. I live about less than 1/2 mile on a gravel road so I'm thinking this color won't show the dust as much.

    Does anyone have a better picture or know where I can find one?

    Thanks! Looks silver to me with a hint of green.

    I think tideland pearl was silver with a hint of green, I think this is definately greener. Here're my pics:

    I saw this color when signing up for mine. And while sweet it's a little to green in my mind. I would have bought one but the first they had coming in (that wasn't black, red or white) with the package I wanted was driftwood.

    Can someone post pictures of the driftwood? I liked it at the store but now I'm afraid it's too beige and bland :-(. Please convince me otherwise

    I agree. These aren't great pics, but you can see how in overcast weather it looks greener....

    actually the green in your pictures makes it look sweet. The green can look a little washed out some times (it did at the dealer). I still like the color because it stand out.

    If you can get your hands on the 06 brochure it has some great picture of the Silver Pine Mica. It was not my first (or even second) choice but after seeing it at the dealer I decided that it's the color I want. Also it's the only package 8 that the dealer is getting anytime soon (possibly next week). Good luck with your decision!

    Actually, Tideland was more of a gray (darker shade than the silver) with a hint of green at times in the right light.
    Strictly for comparison's sake, Tideland Pearl:

    Here's a SPM I saw the other day. It looked great in this early evening light. Better than the other SPM I saw in harsh high noon light:

    I just got my SPM yesterday! I love the color. The Touring handles the roads around here so nicely.
    I've been so thrilled, I could hardly sleep thinking about learning all the controls and such.

    A pic I found (not of mine) showing Tideland Pearl (2004?) with lots of winter sun reflecting off it, which brings out more of the "green" than the "grayish":
