Automobile color choices are fewer than they were in the past. These days, and especially with a hard to procure model like the R4P, color options are few. Since my garage already held my wife's 2019 RAV4 Hybrid in Blueprint, AND my new RAV4 Prime in Blueprint, I wanted to make a change. Today, it came home from the wrap shop and I'm very pleased with it. I won't have trouble locating it a big parking lot now.

Wow
$3600 will buy a lot of hookers and blow.

Now we know what Pat measures money in. 
My wife was on a (the first) waiting list for a Gen II Prius, and settled for max trim but wrong color because it was available. She was very un-happy with the color, until I convinced her that she should consider throwing some $$ at the problem and make it the color your want. In the end she kept the color and Silver Prius (as it was known) drives on today with a friend of the family in it’s original silver color.
Bottom line; You can’t put a price tag on somebody else’s feelings, if they feel their car needs to be a different color.

I do think it looks good, but also a color that I think I would get tired of fairly quick.
Toyota only offers one color: red.
The blue is almost black, and everything else is just a shade of gray. Toyota offers virtually no color choice. No orange, yellow, green, a real blue, purple, or anything in between.
I've considered wrapping mine in a matte "Army Green", preserving the glossy black accents and roof.

XSE Pearl White (aka Winter Blizzard) is lighter color and very nice.

I wish they would make the R4P in Cavalry blue.
It's still not a color, just plain white like every other car on the road.
If I don't wrap mine in army green, I may go for a bright copper metallic with green flake. Or maybe a psychedelic wrap.
Or their lunar gray! That's a modest AND fun color that's actually a color! It's my favorite that Toyota offers. A lunar gray with the XSE black accents would have been a fantastic offering. I wouldn't consider wrapping my RAV4 if it had that.
Yea definitely not cheap but on the flip side if it saves the paint from a few chips/scratches it could help justify the cost a little too.

Never got stimulus money, or at least not the last two go arounds.

I don't have a new RAV4 yet and I am not really a fan of the black roof design used on a lot of cars now. If I buy a new RAV, I may get the red and do a silver roof, or a grey and do the same. When the RAV came out I saw a blue flame with a silver roof and it looked great.
