    HAAAAAA!!! not bad my friend, not bad :laugh:. . . . yeah it's not like major, i can see stop lights and all that. but i can never see the green in treated lumber, richard petty blue/green is just a grayish blue, stuff like that. light pink is my worst though now that i think of it. can't see that at all.

    Nautical Blue Metallic v Indigo Ink Pearl....wonder how big of a difference. The pix of the new 4Runner looks like an indigo ink to me. Probably very close to the same paint color...Nautical Blue sounds a little more modern:notsure:

    I saw my first 2012 Spruce Mica Tacoma yesterday on a dealer's lot in Tampa.

    I was prepared to hate it, but it's not that bad. What I wasn't prepared for is how the metal flake shines in the Florida sun. Wow!

    I've had three Tacomas and the Spruce Mica has way more metal flake shine than either Barcelona Red, Timberland Mica or the Evergreen Pearl metallic they used on the '98 I had.

    Worth a look if you like a green truck.

    I like the new green, saw one at the dealer the other day, but the Timberland Mica is a nice color- I love the fact I rarely see another truck in my color... I have only crossed paths with 2 TM trucks in 3 yrs!. Should stay that way since it was only made for 2 yrs...:cool:

    I love any shade of green. Ended up with silver on mine and very happy with it. I would have taken SWB or the Timberland mica if I could have found a good used truck in my price range when I was looking. Now I gotta go buy a new 2012 to get the green.

    I've had 5 Toyota pick-ups the last 30 years all white and one silver. I was tired of those colors - they're everywhere, so I wanted a little color in my trucking life. The color is similar to the Timberland, but has gold metallic instead of silver:

    I guess the reason they make so many colors, is that everyone has a different favorite.
