    I was going through the same conundrum, lol. I wanted white as a first choice and grey as a second. Eventually the grey grew on me and finally I just decided to get whatever color I found first/could get the best deal on.

    Wound up with a Grey TX Pro. And I still do love white.

    It's really not as bad as black. I had a black car previously.

    I think I'm going to go with super white and I'm ordering it so I can pick it up when I get home.

    Was also in the same situation when I was in the market for my Tacoma. Fortunately they had a white and a MGM TRD Sport at one of the dealerships I visited. Automatically fell in love with the MGM when I saw them side by side. Nothing beats MGM =)

    You and I are/were in the same boat. I though I would go with White until I drove one. The hood just seemed to shine right in my eyes the day I test drove. And it was over cast. Figured I would need sunglasses all the time. Had a yellow '69 Chevelle that did me the same way. Ruled out White (no offense to the Stormtrooper crowd - I still like looking at 'em). MGM is really what caught my eye to begin with. After surveying all colors minus the B-Red, I went with MGM. Excellent color!

    Now, unbeknownst to me my father - a long time Tacoma owner- traded for a B-Red the same weekend I got mine. We didn't find out until we talked! I finally saw it in live this past weekend and I have to say the B-red is well done by Toyota. Not a sportscar Red, but absolutely not dull. Had I seen one while I was shopping I may well have chosen red.

    Don't rule out the Spruce Green either. A guy here has one with a 3" OME lift and it looks sharp. Again, much better live than on the website.

    At any rate trust your gut and go with what you like. My .02.

    I think white looks really good in pictures, but just looks plain weird in person. MGM!

    When I first started looking, I was dead set on black or silver. Wound up with the MGM, and think its hands down the nicest color. I get a ton of compliments from random people on the truck.

    I didn't want MGM and the dealer had a nice pyrite so its what i got and love. Changes colors in different lights almost. I'm a fan of the earth colors category!

    Didn't happen with me. :D

    You can't go wrong with either. I have had too many black cars and I'm just done with them. Silver would have been my choice, but the gray looks better to me and is a nice change although will show dirt more than white/silver. Like others have said the only other color I still like equally is the super white. Those stormtrooper'd out ones are gorgeous.
