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

dave n · 09-27-2009, 10:23 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.

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

Looks more banana than Jolt yellow.

^ This. It's not so much that the real color is bad, it's just that it's nowhere near as cool looking as the advertised color. But in my opinion, even the real yellow is better than a couple of the other available options.

more of a pastel or easter egg yellow then bright yellow

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

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

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

Mouse · 09-28-2009, 09:34 AM

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, 10:55 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?

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, 12:23 PM
