    Very happy with my Barcelona red. I enjoy the rare Voodoo blue sighting but I already have a Porsche in a similar color (Riviera Blue). I think the Riviera blue is just a little nicer and if I had them both the two would fight In my garage when I am not there to keep things peaceful.

    I always liked BR ever since I rented. T4R in that color. I liked Cement a lot too and if I didn’t want a chromatic that would be my choice. I think they should still make Cement it’s that good- really the perfect neutral for the Tacoma especially with black trim.

    I had color envy for years. I always tried to “play it safe” with black, silver, gray, and white. I had those neutral colors from 1997 to 2018! I let so many people get into my head about resale value and what other people will think.

    Now I realize life is short so why not get what you want?

    last night I had dinner with my Aunt and to my surprise when the valet pulled up her car it was a RED Lexus (pretty hard to find). I complimented her on her color choice and we agreed life is short get what you want.

    The only color i'd swap with is Army Green but i love a clean black taco (although i'd never want to take care of that color personally)

    Was suppose to get a White truck, wanted Inferno, then ended up with Quicksand. No regrets.

    Army Green and Cement are very nice colors though, would be my 2nd and 3rd choice.

    bought a certified 2016 a few years ago in Quicksand, I get a bit of buyers remorse when I see a clean Cement or Calvary Blue, but not enough to consider getting rid of mine.

    I always loved the color on my 2008 Speed way blue. When I was looking at the new 2021 the voodoo blue was the closest but it was too much of a sky blue for me so I chose the B Red instead. I still not crazy about the color but got to live with it and it growing on me slowly.

    Had a Thunder Grey Tundra for 21 years and wanted to mix things up. BR is a perfect look with the Tacoma Access Cab. With the black aluminum running boards, it looks great. I see to many black, white, and grey Tacos and my friends say I am a red ass anyway.

    One of these days when I have a spare couple grand, I'll have my incognito gray wrapped to a satin red.

    It's cheaper than trading.

    Lunar Rock wasn't an option yet when I got mine, but after seeing it in person I like it a lot. Cement and Quicksand both appealed to me a lot too after seeing them in the wild.
    But something about those colors makes me question if I'd still like them in 10, 15, 20 years of ownership. MGM is a color I know I can live with long term... as long as I don't think about missing out on AG.

    More like this. If the dealer hadn't put a 9k markup on the wrap alone, I would have been driving this instead of the Tacoma.

    Same. Got the OR LR, that was my top choice.

    I do like Cavalry Blue, Army Green, Cement and Quicksand.

    I have one of the most common colors, MGM but it looks great dirty or clean and I love it. I like all the muted colors but the only color I'm actually envious of is army green.

    My previous 2nd gen was MGM. I really liked the grey "gunmetal" look. But went they announced the AG I couldn't go back.
