If you haven't seen Jasper Pearl in person, I would strongly recommend doing so before you decide to buy it. I saw one for the first time recently....it is an interesting color. I can se someone liking it. I can also see someone absolutely hating it--even if you like green generally.

My dealer actually discouraged me from considering Jasper Pearl.
Thery are the least manufactured color but I will omit the
actual term he used to describe the color. I do know two of his
cars where the original buyer balked on delivery were JPs.
I went with Desert Sand Mica (aka Beige) the wife's XLE-V6 is Titanium.

Gee, and here I thought green was the new black...

Let's face it, all TCH's are beautiful, no matter what the color!

Like I said before, it's a matter of personal taste. Ask your dealer if they have the book with larger swatches of the actual paint colors. Take the book outside and look at the swatch in sunlight. It's not the same as seeing it on a car, but it's better than just that tiny swatch in the Camry handout.

ETA And there may be another reason a dealer would discourage you from getting Jasper Pearl: they are NOT easy to come by. When I picked up my TCH it was only the FOURTH JP TCH To be delivered in the NE region, and the ONLY one in CT. The inventory manager at our dealership had to preference my car in two allocations before it was finally allocated, but as you can see IT WAS allocated. Some dealerships don't want to preference a car. They just wait around til they finally get something that matches, and since there are so many people waiting for the TCH they can be sure that whatever they get someone will take.

I have just posted a pix of my Jasper Pearle, taken in bright sun, which might help with this...like Lilareinne says, this color is hard to get. I was lucky that the person who ordered it in had become unable to take delivery of it do to health problems. There has been a thread in here before about colors and have discovered that JP is only about 3-4% of the TCHs being made...at least at this point. That might change once they start production in the US...???

Oh, pix is at http://www.greenhybrid.com/share/fil...3/IMG_0927.JPG

A good example of "History Repeats Itself".
The color reminds me of a "AMC Gremlin" of friend of mine had way back
it the late '60s or early '70s.

I believe the bright yellow plate on the front bumper really distorts the attractiveness of the Green.

I'm still undecided if I could live long term with the color but had that been my only choice when I bought I probably would have gotten use to it. I pretty much like all the colors offered.
