Default Dorado Gold Pearl

I've got one coming in next week in Dorado Gold,
but I've never seen this color in person. Has anyone?
If so, what do you think? Any photos? I'm not sure
you can tell the real colors from the Lexus.com website
or brochure.

My first choice is Sand Dollar, but second was Dorado
Gold and this will be here sooner.

Don't get me wrong, I love the darker colors, but
I have a black sports car, and I have enough trouble
trying to keep that clean as it is, so I'm leaning to
the lighter colors. Silver Pine is out, since the last
SUV my wife had is basically the same color and
she wants a change.

Default Dorodo Gold

The Lexus site doesn't show a true representation of this color. I saw one of these at my dealer the other day, and the color is much lighter than I expected (more to my taste, actually). The Sand Dollar is a nice metallic creamy color, but a little too light for my taste. Best thing is to call your dealer to see if they have one on hand. I went to mine three weekends in a row in order to see these colors.

Default just saw one...

at Hennessey in Duluth, Ga.

and now I like the Dorado Gold better than the Sand Dollar
which they also had.

They also had an Ash Blue Mica that was very nice.

The Sand Dollar looked kind of pinkish, not at all what I
expected after seeing various photos on the net and
the brochure.
