I'm going to get a Celica and the following are my top three choices as far as colors go.
1) Absolutely Red
2) Liquid Silver Metallic
3) Super White
I was wondering though what are your favorite colors?

The toyota red paint is already for years known for the fast fading in the sun. That will happen within a few years.........so...... my vote is for spec blue

I can't believe so many people picked the blue's. Those are the least two eye-catching colors in my opinion, well the spectra blue is kinda nice. The carbon blue sucks

Where'd you hear about this? Are you serious??? I might reconsider my colour if this is true... But you gotta remember, if you don't take care of your car, and you leave it out in the sun all day, of course the colour will fade...

Well, I have had two red toyota's ( one corolla and a celica ) and although I took good care of them the color faded quite fast. I also owned a red Toyota Corona Mark II and that car was just hell.
When I ordered my new celica I asked the dealer about the red color and he told me that there are still the same problems.
The red celica was most of the time in my garage, so very little in de direct sunlight.

It seems almost every single car I see around Toronto is Liquid Silver...Maybe colour choice has something to do with region?
Spectra Blue is the best.

i chose carbon blue over spec blue b/c your getting two colors (carbon blue during day/black during night). but it does get dirty easily. i guess i like darker colors cause they make the car look mean :mad:

I find Spectra Blue looks different in direct sunlight than it does in the shade. I think the average non-Celica owner looks at Carbon Blue as just plain black.
I'm not doggin CB Celica's. Sh*t, I almost bought one! (It was a dealer demo - didn't want to take my chances on it though)

I've always like white cars :biggrin: cause they tend to be cooler (temperature wise) and, well, I dunno, they seem to be pretty eye-catching IMO.

*I think red makes the Celica look cheap. Its not a good shade of red for the car.
*I think silver is kinda nice but everyone and their mom has silver.
*I dont really like white cars cause they are so basic and blah, i like color.
*Black is hard to keep clean and not as sharp looking on the celica
*Carbon blue is kinda blah
***I think that Spectra Blue is by FAR the best color. It is real sharp and an awesome shade of blue.....not a lot of people have it so you dont look like ALL the rest of them on the road.....I am not saying I like Spectra Blue cause thats what I have..I HAVE that color cause I think its the best

Spectra Blue is my favorite, but I wish it was a brighter blue, like a Yamaha motorcycle blue. Silver looks really nice, but too common. White looks good, but not as exciting as spec blue or silver. Carbon blue may as well be black. Black hides the lines of the car too much and makes it look kind of boring. I never like factory reds. I think red cars are sweet but only when they are candy or pearl reds. I've seen some knockout red showcars. I also wouldn't generalize about Toyota red paint. Paint technology changes alot in 10 years, and while I've seen old red Toyotas and they look like crap, I highly doubt the dealer really knows about the new red cars. Most dealers are idiots.

You forgot yellow man... But that would be just here in Canada.
Otherwise I would say Carbon Blue is the nicest colour (but it's not available here anymore...:( )
First Choice (obviously): Absolutely Red!!!
Second Choice: Spectra Blue

I'm going with spectra blue even though mine is red. I was going to get the blue, but then they said they'd give me 5k off the red since it was a 2000 so of course I took that :biggrin:

Silver...really brings out the lines. Hopefully when I get the 2nd Celica I can get Spectra Mica. I hardly see them and being unique is always best.

1. Liquid Silver Metallic
2. Black
3. Carbon Blue
4. Spectra Blue
5. Red
6. Super White
I'm debating about trading in my 2000 GT Liquid Silver for a GTS. This thread is helping me.. I know I do not want the Super White. I would want Black, but in Arizona, Black is the worst color to go with. I'm not out in the sun a lot but my girl already has Red (S.Menchavez) and if she trades hers in, she'd get black.. so.. ahh!! I'm not sure. I guess I'm down to Carbon Blue or Spectra Blue.

I simply love the Thunder Silver (if i remember right, kinda gunmetal like that on the US IS300) on the European spec Celica T-Sports.

why is black the worse color to get?
it doesn't get as hot as my last car(which was red camaro).
because of the tint(helps a lot)
i can stand the heat with a black car.
i dont think its a problem at all.
the only problem is keeping it clean:ugh:

Keeping it clean, and because it gets so god damn hot and the heat attracks to dark colors. Black car with black leather seats. I love the black care look, but just not in Az. http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/ups/mtk/biggrin.gif

the hard part is keeping it clean.:AF:
the heat's not a huge deal if you've lived here your entire life.
i like my cloth seats better than the leather anyway...

ive seen a baby blue celica here in san jose
i swear i was gonna puke - it does NOT like nice in my opinion
im sorry, but if you have a baby blue celica, and you're a guy, either you're gay or you're trying too hard to get laid

I was 'this' close to ordering Absolute Red until I saw a picture of a Spectra Blue Mica somewhere on the internet.
I changed my mind that minute and decided to wait the 3 months to have one specially brought over from Japan.
No regrets.

you're right. we should all drive typical colored cars so no one will think we are gay.

I'm sorry to say this but Carbon Blue is THE color. I love it :)

Ok, everyone voted for Spec blue, but how come all the celis I see on the road are silver? Where are you blue celi guys??? Did you guys who voted for the colours actually own that colour?

I never expected SBM to be that popular. Before I bought my Celica I only ever saw ONE spectra blue. Everything else was Silver or Red. Could have bought a 2000 Red GT but instead I ordered a 2002 SB GT...with a 2 month wait! Worth it for sure.
