    Might be a millenial thing that Voodoo blue is smurf blue. The new smurfs are super blue. FJ looks good with it tho. I love that noone can tell i haven't washed my Quicksand in about 8 months.

    Yeah, I should think that's at the other end of the spectrum from black for showing dirt and scratches.
    It's something to consider.

    Another consideration is color fading.
    Some have mentioned reds exposed to intense sunlight, such as in the Southwest.
    Not that I know it from experience, but I've seen mentions of it from time to time.

    I've often wondered why I see so many Silver Tacomas.
    Particularly 2nd gens. (Mine is a Silver 2nd gen). :anonymous:
    It had what I wanted and was a decent deal. It just so happened it's Silver.
    It's a pretty uninspiring color, but they've made a lot of them.
    I'm guessing it's one of those colors that...hmm...don't readily show dirt/ scratches/ imperfections in the paint?

    If Toyota would have tweaked the BBP just a tad and named it UK blue they would have sold millions more Tacos.

    When I first bought QS, I was somewhat regretting it.
    Then as I started blacking out all the chrome, and adding TRD Pro style decals, it became my favorite color.
    Still dislike other stock QS Tacomas.

    I guess it would be like Voodoo Blue, on an FJ it looks hot.
    On a Tacoma, it just look overwhelming...
    TRD Pro decals do not help either.
    Maybe white decals?

    I voted black. Just because black is a hard color to keep looking good. I liked quicksand (only in OR) but now when I start to see it, it does start to look a little like puke. Guess it’s like all the old tan colors. They just look old and uglier after a few years. Old man tan they call it. After having my inferno for a bit I’m starting to not enjoy the color so much. Just too bright and sticks out more than I want. I do like the Metallic in it though. Most of the Toyota colors are flat. Those blues aren’t too sexy. I do like BBP. Cement looked good at first but now it does just look like primer.

    Just fyi its Inferno Orange not Inferno Red. I voted for Barcelona Red, and black would have been my #2. The stealership by me said that the Barcelona Red did not go over well in terms of YTD sales when I bought my Tacoma. In fact, I don't think I ever saw one on the lots I went to now that I think of it...

    I feel like the OP should have specified that not liking the maintenance of black is not disliking the color, and thus it shouldn't be voted for if that's the reason. lol

    So what you are saying is the hatred of a couple of the colours is seething, as they have no such maintenance issues?

    What I'm saying is after reading through this thread, is seems pretty clear that most voting for black are doing so because of maintenance (which is not disliking the color). And yeah, no other color is a dirt/maintenance concern.
