That's wierd if true. Under our pacific blue it's black on the bumpers.

I prefer silver for looking clean and showing marks the least, but we both agreed that pacific blue looked best in our opinion on the yaris sedan. I don't think there's a colour which looks bad on our cars either.

I wish it was a little more silvery like the mercedes blue, but it stays surprisingly clean looking compared to other colours and doesn't get nearly hot as my first car which was black with no a/c.

Absolutely Red!! Because Toyota makes a red that truly looks red!

Meteorite Metallic, and I agree, it's easy to keep it looking clean, even if you haven't washed it in months. My husband has an '04 Pathfinder that's silver, and we've gone months before we asked eachother "when was the last time we washed it?" One good rain, and it's just like new! Plus, I want to blend in, not stick out, the 5.0 look for those who stick out... Plus, the scratches don't show anywhere near as much as one the solid colors, and RED is an anxiety color for me, I get stressed out just looking at red cars. No offense to those of you who like it, It's just a little much for me.

Blazing blue because that's what my husband brought home for me

I got a Pearl Black LB because I actually got to pick! The only car I've ever had (for the last 5 years, damn station wagon!) was Blue, and I've always wanted a black car ^.^

My is Black because i hate to see my car shadow next to another clean wax looking black car.
Black will look good with any Window tinting Percentage. It's even look good with mirror tint or two tone tint.
It's can help em girls adjust their clothes when they pass by my car.

black...i wanted to make it as manly as possible!...no lie

We live in Redding and it gets VERY hot in the summer. White is the best color for our area. The paint will last longer hopefully.

Meteorite Metallic--doesn't show the dirt or scratches as bad as the darker colors. Didnt' want white 'cause I had a white car for 14 years before the Yaris & birds seem to target white cars ;) Didn't want red (though I love red cars) 'cause I've wrecked every red car I've owned, Black is too hot in the south and figured I'd get bored of the blues too quickly. And the green is hideous!

POLAR WHITE= SIMPLE,CLEAN,SMOOTH AND ILL...........................

[solarVitz]

i got blazing blue cause ive never had a blue car before. and blue was my true favorite color.

Copper Orange Mica, because it is unique, bright and the most importantly I like it.

[adamschneider]

I wanted a real color: not black, white or gray. So it was down to red or one of the blues. I got Bayou Blue because my wife's car is already red, and I thought the Bayou Blue looked a little classier than the Blazing Blue.

Barcelona Red with light interior...because my brain is preconditioned by the ads of the 4-door sedan...most of the time is shown as Red. I love it. It's very shiny...wife loves it too...so one less battle.

Is someone taking a poll/note on the colors? I think it will be interesting to see what is the most popular colors for the LB and the sedan.

I've ordered my car but I haven't received it yet. I have "paint issues" with my current car (96 Civic) so that greatly effected my decision about what color to go with. My Civic is forest green and trying to get a proper color match for repair work is really difficult because of slight natural fading that just happens over the years. Basically I got factory matched paint but that doesn't help that it's slightly lighter than what it was when new.

So here's my reasoning when I ordered my Yaris.

- All colors other than black or white are off the table because I don't want to deal with paint matching issues ever again and I dig black and white cars over other colors anyways.

- I live in coastal NC and it gets very hot and humid during the summer and we have an insane amount of pollen around here. That crossed black off the list right there.

- White will hide dirt very well and all the little scratches that are bound to happen should hopefully be minimized on a white car (I hope). Also, white with black tinted windows does look really good.

Black Sand Pearl... it came like that since I got the car used with 10k miles. Almost bought a used Blazing Blue.

If I had a choice, maybe polar white...

[Thai_Dang]

I chose meteorite metallic aka silver, because it resembled luxury to me and makes the car look more expensive. Lol even though its just a yaris not a lexus. Second choice would've been black, black looks very cool. Blue/red made me think the yaris was an RC car.
