Black or Blue - Toyota Yaris Forums

CrashRescueFF · 07-19-2007, 01:46 AM

Does anyone have any pics of a black hb w/ trd rims, maybe a straight side shot? I cannot decide which color to get. I like the blazing blue alot but have always been partial to black. When I was a kid I had a Schwinn Stingray that was the exact same color as the blue, it really stood out in the sun. Is the blue metallic? Any thoughts?

I have a Blazing Blue LB and love the color! It's the best! Go for it !!!

I think all vehicles look their best in black.

That being said, my first car was black and I will never buy a dark colour like that again. It shows every scuff and speck of dust, like how white shows every dot of rust. Go with the lightest colour you like. Silver is the best for showing no dirt.

We bought Pacific Blue in the sedan and it seems ok for dirt etc.

Be wary of bright non metallic colours though, they will fade and suddenly your bright red car is a nice shade of pink!

The Blazing Blue is metalic and I love mine. If you decide to go black avoid rag car washes and plan to use a quality car wax to keep her looking her best. Both colors kick@$$.

Just keep your car washed and waxed regularly and non-metallic red will look like new for years and years... even under the Florida sun!

I say blue too and since you seem to really like the blazing blue then get it! The blue is an awesome color! and still looks new after two weeks.. even though it needs a wash but you can't tell that much

nsmitchell · 07-20-2007, 02:24 PM

Blazing Blue rocks! Black just looks dirty all the time. Seriously, all the time...

brickhardmeat · 07-20-2007, 02:49 PM

I say if you are going dark go with the black but I l think white is best. True about silver it looks the cleanest even when it's dirty but I didn't want a metallic color myself and that leaves you with red or white. I am not fond of red.

CrashRescueFF · 07-20-2007, 03:15 PM

Thanks for all the input. I think it is going to be the Blue. I'm gonna go for it.
I will be shopping this weekend.I'm going to try to play the Dealerships againest each other.

Blazing Blue FTW!!!

uncleyaris · 07-20-2007, 07:28 PM

Bayou blue; looks smokey grey in overcast light and at night and a different brighter blue in the sun, it rocks!!

grampi · 07-21-2007, 06:55 AM

Since we're all giving our own subjective opinions, absolute red is the ONLY color for the LB.

*kimona* · 07-21-2007, 07:32 AM

Gee, I think the HB looks good in just about any colour!!!

CrashRescueFF · 07-21-2007, 09:26 AM

It is cool to get peoples takes on different colors? Why they got them,what their tastes are. It is almost like the car(and color) is an extention of your personality. BBlue for me please! Today is D day at the dealership. Wish me luck!

sherryberry · 07-21-2007, 10:51 AM

GOOD LUCK!!!!! X 100000000000000
