In my admittedly very limited experience in Australia (I've done it three times twice at the same dealer), orders are generally done based by contract date with your dealer.
When you deposit you sign a contract for the car, with a condition like pending finance and test drive.
The VERY first batch of cars is quite often pre-allocated BY TOYOTA with a range of colours and spec variants that are a little bit dictated by the size of the dealership. And its not going to be many cars - like a dozen for a big dealership
In this batch you chosen colour preference may not be available, but the cars will be offered to you in order of your contract. I've not had any issues in the past when I have done this, but I admit I find out where I am in the list of pre-orders with my dealer and get them to advise me in an email, I then tactfully remind the dealer than "hey you have 5 cars, I know I'm number 2 on that list!"
If you don't get your colour, you will almost certainly get one not too long from that point in the next batch of dealer ordered cars.
The long story short is (in my experience), that yes you can, but the first batch might not have your colour and you will have to wait a bit more or buy a different colour.
