    Despite the inconsistencies in the picture, the highlighted ones are the same that are listed in Canada.

    040 - Alpine White / Super White
    1D6 - Silver Sky (Metallic)
    1G3 - Magnetic Grey (Metallic)
    202 - Black
    3R3 - Barcelona Red (Metallic)
    4V6 - Beige / Quicksand
    4X0 - Inferno
    8T0 - Blazing Blue (Metallic)

    The interior colours are an interesting thing, for Canada they seem to vary based on model (and transmission in some cases??).

    This color just looks too red to be inferno. I don't see the orange tint that you usually do with Inferno. Anyone have an opinion on this.

    I agree. It doesn't look anything like inferno.
    I'm hoping they didn't change the inferno color to a super red/barely orange color. I think they will make a lot of people mad if they do that.

    I would be quite happy if they took some of the Orange out of it. But that's just me.

    Depends on the lighting. Thats the inferno.
    They did. They call it Barcelona Red.

    Yes they do. I was really hoping for radiant red like they had from mid 90's to mid 2000. I just sold an orange jeep to get this truck so I'm not really interested in Orangey red and I would rather not have a metallic red.

    I've always been a white or silver kind of guy. But Absolutely Red (code 3PO) was always a great color.

    That would be a better colour then the Barcelona Red for the Tacoma.

    Yes, Radiant Red rules!!! But they made it long after that on the Taco or at least it's some kind of true non-metallic red. I've seen them rolling around for years. True reds seem to be fading out of popularity, even amongst pickup trucks.

    Why do you guys pick the colors you do?
    Is there a thought process behind why or do you just go with what you think looks best?

    I reay want to see this truck in the gray. I'm having a really hard time deciding on a color.

    Sometimes I get the color that's not my first choice, but may have been a better deal. But I'm about tired of that. My 2013 TRD Sport LB was white and I loved white on that truck. Easy to clean too. I kind of like that inferno red long bed a few posts above.

    I will only buy white. It's the hardest paint and the coolest. It's also the brightest color on the highway, as well

    I think white will look good on the 16. A DCLB OR should make a pretty sweet stormtrooper.

    I'm leaning in white. Both my trucks have been white so far. I like it, goes with everything. It also is the easiest to paint match and repair.

    The inferno is cool, but it's too close to Bears colors buy.
