Default rare Corolla colors

Has anyone seen a Corolla in Desert Sand Mica or Cactus Mica on the road before?

They list these colors on the Toyo website but of all the corollas I see everyday, I've never seen one in either of these colors before.
Anyone have any pics?

Cactus Mica.. Seen one once.. was ugly as hell so, I can see why nobody carries em.
Desert Sand.. I see all the time. no pics, but it's very common here.

On the 03's they had "Moonshadow Metallic" that was a grey speckled color.. not sure if it's the same as the "Phantom Grey pearl" on the 05's but that color has always been somewhat rare.

Moonshadow is not the same as Phantom Grey. Phantom Grey is a little darker than the Moonshadow. I had a Moonshadow Corolla before I got my xB.

My mom wants either Desert Sand or Red but she'll have to look at it in person.

I like the Cactus, but the desert sand is not so pretty.

I used to have a Black Metallic Corolla before my BSP tc...

the paint is almost identical except my tc has other colors reflecting like red and green...my corolla was only white metallic particles
