    When I was shopping pyrite mica was what I was looking for but couldn't find an DCSB OR locally. Settled on a spruce mica and I'm pretty happy.

    You'll never get tired of super white. Scratch marks don't happen or appear easily and it looks great whether clean or dirty. It's a worry free color with the best re-sale value.
    I regretted owning a 2nd gen in black. If you even looked at it wrong, scratch marks show. And don't even think about taking through an automatic car wash.

    I have Sky Silver (or something like that) and have had MGM, Kinda Gray, White and Red ... Red was my favorite for "road visibility & accident avoidance by other driver".

    FYI ... The hardest color for me to visually see on the highway (not color blind either) is MGM on an wet asphalt road ... color tends to blend into road color, especially on a hill. ... :eek:

    It would be interesting to see which colors were in the most accidents with age of drivers and conditions factored into study.

    I love my MGM and don't regret getti it at all. That said the more I see BBP and Inferno in the wild the more they become a very close tie for second.

    Silver is the way to go. Easiest to keep looking clean. Plus doesn't show minor scratches as much.

    Have had too many silvers, and my 2013 limited was magnetic grey. Got the inferno. Wanted AC and tech package, and this one had flaps and steps. Loved it. Have never received so many compliments…..

    I choose the Inferno and have no regrets. I choose it because I love orange and my wife doesn't, so I don't have to worry about her driving it. And the Inferno doesn't alway look orange, it depends on the lighting.

    2016 Inferno 4x4 AC TRD OR
    I have an inferno and it's kinda bright, but it's so easy to spot in a big parking lot. That I like. When I originally bought mine, I asked for either quicksand (the color of desert dirt) or inferno and the orange is what came in first. I suppose I'd also like that cement color, but it isn't available yet so orange it is.

    I went with white and don't regret it, I love it. Hides dirt really well. When I went to go wash it my wife even said "why are you washing your truck when it's not even dirty." I told her it's been 3 weeks. That's how much dirt it hides lol. Also I don't think mine looks like a work truck.

    Once they are modded they look FAR from a work truck, SW for the win.

    I try my best to keep it Clean, Wax Once A Year. That is about it ,Not a Show truck ! All my other Tacoma's were Black and I do know what you mean .I think the Blue shows that Less. Just My opinion

    I knew I wanted Quick Sand as soon as I saw it. I have the TRD off road so I have black over the wheels and I blacked out all the chrome. People walk up to me everywhere I go just to say they like the color.

    I kinda wish I had waited for a SSM. It's funny because I had a 06 indigo ink and really wanted a MGM at the time.

    Offensive stickers and stuff the wife doesn't know about.
    Mad love for my BBP. Although really with the 16s there are many good options, was torn between the Inferno and the BBP with Quicksand being a close third. But the white looks sick as well and red doesn't look bad either. To me the blacks/silvers/grays etc are just kinda boring and played out but that's prob just because those are like the top vehicle colors and my bimmer, which I love and was beautiful was silver, so I am just burnt out on the typical colors. Although would be interested in like a cement like matte color or something or a green.

    We went to the dealership to look at different colors. I was leaning toward BBP until I saw a Barcelona red Sport. I bought that very truck with no regret
