    I love the DSM color and did some investigating about the use of this type of color on Tacomas. According to the site gtcarlot.com:

    2005 to 2008 - Desert Sand Mica upload_2017-5-5_9-4-16.jpg


    2001 to 2004 - Mystic Gold Metallic upload_2017-5-5_9-4-47.jpg


    1995 to 2000 - Sierra Beige Metallic upload_2017-5-5_9-5-22.jpg


    After 2008, the closest color to DMS is Pyrite Brown Mica upload_2017-5-5_9-12-0.jpg


    (only called that in 2009), which was then called Pyrite Mica from 2010 to 2015. upload_2017-5-5_9-7-6.jpg


    But the Pyrite Mica is darker than DSM or the two previous colors. Once you hit third gens, the closest color is Quicksand. upload_2017-5-5_9-7-39.jpg


    But still not DSM!

    Just a little FYI.
