    For those that have taken delivery on their truck that was blueprint -

    I have not had a chance to see it in person. I have a shot at getting a 1794 in blueprint with the TRD Pro package.

    Many of the pictures I have seen the blue comes off almost purple in nature when the sun hits it right. Not a fan at all when I see that. Is it a distortion due to the photos. Is it more of a navy blue, Does it have a shine-metallic look to it.?

    Thanks for any help

    This is an SR5 but same paint. I have a blueprint on order as well so I was trying to gauge colour as well. I really like it and it doesn't have that burple hue from either the side facing the sun or the dark side. Enjoy.

    I’m considering a blue print platinum but I’m trying to figure out if any other model has blueprint color wheel arch moldings so i can swap out the gloss black ones on the platinum, also I think the trd sport grill in blue print will work for me

    The SR5 sport has colour-matched fender arches (at least here in Canada they do) and the SR5 sport comes in blueprint.

    What I would like to change most is the black tailgate top lip into paint matched. I actually really like the platinum grill and I guess I’m an outlier here lol

    I thought I was gonna hate Blueprint on the Tundra, then my neighbor brought one home and it’s my second favorite color to lunar rock… it’s a pretty sleek color and quite the head turner! Stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw it lol.

    That is an excellent color!
    I like that it's on the DL, but the more you look at it, the more it reveals. This is the only color of a 22 that I have seen in person. When I pulled into a parking lot and saw it I said, "oh, there's a 22'... that's pretty cool, but what color is THAT!" I walked up to it and really didn't look at the truck as much as the paint! Good stuff

    What color is that? Is why I don’t care for it. I really like some of Toyota blue options of the past but when you first see this color it doesn’t look blue it looks almost black or purple to me. Then when you really look at it you can tell it’s blue.

    I have a platinum in blue print on order, the highlander comes in the same colour so that might be easier to locate on a dealer lot to see the colour in person.

    Saw a new Rav4 in blueprint the other day. Looks awesome, but yes it can be a bit purple-ish. The trade off is that it looks like this awesome midnight sky in the right light and makes the vehicle look so cool.

    I saw one two days ago at my local dealership while picking up a oil filter. It was at dusk but it looked great. It was a plain Jane SR5 Tundra. I would buy that color in a heart beat and it didn’t seem to have the purple hue…

    I think it looks best with blacked out trim.

    completely agree which is why I’m getting it with the platinum that has the dark chrome in the front and piano black trim everywhere else.
