Default Help identify this color...

Comments says Silver Metallic but there isnt a Silver Metallic according to Lexus' site. Only Liquid Platinum and Atomic Silver would be closest. Any idea? Im sure the lighting that is shining on it has quite a bit to do with the color but its looks nice!

That is definitely Nebula grey under auto show bright lights. It's my favorite color in the Lexus lineup.

Man now this is making my car color decision thst much harder. Started off with going for ultra white then liquid platinum now nebula grey. The nebula grey on the site is way darker than the video. Video shows almost a purplish tint under the lights which is nice. Tough decisions within the next couple weeks.

If it's convenient, I would suggest making a trip down to the dealer and have them bring up the car in the 3 colors and park them side-by-side. Look at them in the sunlight and in the shade to make your decision. A call beforehand to your salesperson would probably work better than just walking in. If not, you can search through dealer inventory pics to get a better idea of what the car in each color looks like in the real world.

I think the color of that car is probably Liquid Platinum. I think the lighting makes the color look rather odd.

What Exterior Color Is Your GS 350? Note: You can add your car's color to the poll in the poll in this link.

My car is Nebula Gray Peal as well and it's definitely darker (you can definitely tell it's a GRAY), but I believe the car's exterior color in the video is also Nebula Gray Pearl but just under some crazy lighting to give it a slightly purplish hue.

Just my guess,

It is Nebula Gray for sure... it's too much LED lighting at show!

If you asked me, I would say LP. Nebula Grey certainly is darker than the two silvers. Among the three AS is the most changing color as the light changes. All colors are nice but I think UW is the nicest

This would be what I would do if I were the OP. Deciding a color off the web or video is just not practical imo.

100% no. it is clearly not liquid platinum and there is no especially strange lighting situation.....

the color is silver metallic just like the person who shot the video said. does not need to be on the lexus website this was at a show.

With that being said, this is a special color that was used during this auto show to attract attract customers but they aren't able to select this color upon purchasing?
