    We already have at least one "Best 3rd Gen Colors" thread which is nice and makes ya feel good so I thought I would make a worst of thread because bashing things on the interwebs is a good time. Lets be honest, the 3rd gen had a lot of bad colors esp when compared to the 1st and 2nd gen catalog.

    Anyways, pick 3 and if you want, post about the colors that you find inexcusable.

    I wouldn't call it inexcusable, but I personally don't care for electric lime, solar octane, and quicksand (Taliban tan). After all if the entire world liked the same things and thought the same thoughts it would be a boring place to live.

    Not splitting hairs, but should you have both Black and Midnight Metallic Black?

    Midnight Metallic Black was only from 2018(or19) thru 22. I think…

    I think electric lime green is the worse… they should have done a nice metallic forest green.

    I wish had the blue crush metallic. I know it would show deficiencies just like black but man.. that color is just, lost for words, it's my favorite color

    Not to muddy your thread, but I’m heavily debating trying my hand at wrapping my truck with a color that’s close to it. Just need to convince my wife that I should spend $600 to try something that I might be terrible at :rofl:

    mrh2727says "...and quicksand (Taliban tan).":rofl::rofl::rofl:
    I had not heard that before. I live in Phoenix and have always referred to it as Desert Sand because Quicksand is stupid. Anyway, it's just perfect for living in the southwest!:tumbleweed:

    My 3 choices are any of the 4 blues. This is a color you would pick if you can't make a decision.
    However, according to Edmunds.com blue has a 10% market share. Which seems pretty crappy but then...I notice brown holds only 1.3%.:anonymous:

    I like all of the colors, except one. Some I like much more than others,but I will say Toyota really does a good job of making attractive colors that appeal across a wide range of tastes. I think they do that better than any other automaker.

    Quicksand is just a fancy name for Old Man Tan.
