Spruce mica.....

OK, so I'm getting close to getting the price and configuration that I want from a few dealers but honestly, I'm still unsure about color. I tend not to care for the neutral colors like white, black, silver or pyrite mica. I prefer "colors" and in order, I think I like the spruce mica, the blue metallic and the red (don't know what Toyota calls it) in that order. I've seen a handful of photos of the spruce mica Tacoma but I can't really tell if it's more emerald green or more olive green.

If there's somewhere on this site to see such photos, I apologize in advance and would appreciate being directed to them but if anyone has photos of their spruce mica rig, I'd sure like to see it, particularly if it was a 4X4 DCLB with Sport package. Oh, you guys with blue or red can show me yours too I suppose. Thanks in advance if anyone can show me better photos than I've seen on the Toyota website.

spruce mica is kinda like olive and emerald mixed IMO

 

If you don't like washing your truck don't get spruce mica. It is just as bad if not worse than black. Everything shows on it




but so nice when cleaned...

 

Thanks for that link to the previous thread with photos, it was very helpful. I love it but my wife says, "meh, too army for me". I think it's going to be spruce mica but I still haven't ruled out the blue metallic or the Barcelona red.

 

Take her to see one on a nice sunny day. Really shines when the light hits it

 

Mine:

 

It all depends on what kind of day it is (sunny/cloudy) and how clean or dirty the truck is. It can be anywhere from almost black to olive to brilliant emerald color.

 

Best color in my opinion, though I am have some bias. Looks completely different in the shade and direct sunlight. Agree that its like black and shows everything, here is mine.

 

Best color in my opinion as well (Spruce Mica) It's your first choice so go with it!
