Jolt Yellow - is it as bright as in the brochure? - Toyota Yaris Forums

dave n · 09-27-2009, 09:23 PM

Hi - new here, and my wife is thinking about buying a new 2010 Jolt Yellow Yaris. We haven't seen it in person, only the brochure pictures and the color chip -- and have heard that the yellow isn't as bright as in the brochure. I saw some pics in another thread and at least there the color looks alot more washed out than in the brochure. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Thanks
Dave

NO it isn't as bright as the pictures show. It looks like a piss yellow. There are pics of the car on here somewhere. Let me see if i can find some.....

I saw one, and I had a 78 Pinto that exact color. I loved it for about two weeks, then it embarassed me. Sorry if it hurts anyones feelings.

it looks yellow, its not INSAINELY bright, but its still a bright yellow, and it does look like a giant pacman.

just like a white one, looks like a storm trooper helmet...

and mine (black) looks like a darth vader helmet.

let the force be with you.

looks like a well faded version of yellow.... maybe the jolt after 10 years of sun soaking.

uncleyaris · 09-27-2009, 10:38 PM

Looks more banana than Jolt yellow.

PETERPOOP · 09-27-2009, 11:01 PM

more of a pastel or easter egg yellow then bright yellow

Yeah... The US Version of the yellow was a fail

Hate how it's faded. It's like some kind of aged funky 70's muscle car color

To dave n: see if your wife would agree to a repaint to a brilliant yellow after purchase

The yellow is the same in Australia.. the promo pictures are way over saturated.

It's a pastel shade of yellow. I would've gotten the yellow if it looked like my '92 Sunburst Yellow Miata.

Oh how I loved that color.

IllusionX · 09-28-2009, 09:55 AM

hehe, PK you remember that one :) (my picture)

Anyhow... zaino it, it and it'll look pretty much alike. Echo_hrs' yaris is much more of a bright orange than faded orange than it should have.

right?

puetato89 · 09-28-2009, 10:57 AM

well i dont understand why the didnt use the same paint code as the 1g xb yellow, it would have been cheaper, and more of an eye candy

thebarber · 09-28-2009, 11:23 AM
