There are plenty of first drive videos from the Toyota event in California. I find video is a much better way to get a true sense of the colour. Here's one. I didn't watch because I find this guy irritating.

He's got a professorial cadence which I find interesting. He reminds me of a college prof really getting animated about, e.g., American History.Thanks very much Skdaddl I also find him irritatingcheers
Nice to see the color better, but yeah that guy is an annoying moron.

He is full of himself. We are getting bugs in NW MT now that spring is here. Heritage blue will look good when the bugs get thick here.Thanks very much Skdaddl I also find him irritating
Compliments the blue sky with a few clouds. Light roof is nice in the TX heat as well.
Saw one today in person. I was surprised by how different it looks. In pictures the roof looks white and the blue seems bright. But as mentioned above, the roof is definitely grey, and the blue is a more muted blue-grey.
I took a picture on my phone and looked at the picture then the truck. Something about how cameras register the blue.
I also saw an Underground and in person it looks like a dark shiny thing with no colour at all.

Lighting makes a big difference. Also not sure how much these new phones "enhance" the colors.
Great picture some of the press pictures make it look completely different I almost change my order for the Sand
here in the UK Heritage blue is called Smokey Blue maybe thats a better name for it ??
cheers Dave

Image from Toyota's Japan web site, where the Heritage Blue FJs have matching roofs. Can't quite put my finger on what this reminds me of . . .
A lot. A camera phone sees gray-blue and grayish white and tries to make it into a pretty blue sky with white clouds. The amount of processing that goes into camera phone images is staggering, the sensors are so tiny the raw pixel data is junk (or in technical terms, swamped by shot noise). It's amazing what they get out of those sensors! But the processing has a lot of assumptions, and retro blue-gray colors is not one of them.
It’s funny, I saw this photo and immediately thought it was my neighborhood but then saw you are in DFW area. I guess all Texas houses look alike.
The iPhone 15 Pro has a 1/1.28" sensor, which is not that far behind compact mirrorless cameras with 1" and micro 4/3 sensors. It's definitely not collecting junk. I'm a photography enthusiast, and every year I use my "real" camera less and less. Optical quality + the processing is getting really fantastic. I sometimes wish i could somehow use my real camera but with the iPhone for processing.
To stay on topic for the thread - here's a full 48MP shot of my heritage blue from this morning at the trailhead. This color representation is pretty close to accurate to my eyes, maybe slightly saturated. I think it's also important to remember that phones have a lot of settings, someone might turn on an over-saturated filter and then leave it on without ever thinking about it again.
Feel free to pixel peep! I don't use the default pixel binning in daylight, so this is the full 48MP resolution... if the forum uploads the full resolution image, that is.
EDIT - nope, the upload got downsized. sorry!
