All four colors are available on the HS.The Tungsten is the one that looks the most like a silver color.

Tungsten is the one that most matches the true silver. Starfire Pearl is a pearlescent straight-up white. Aurora White Pearl has an interesting bluish tint to the white. I have not seen the Silver Opal Mica in person but we should be expecting one at the dealership sometime in 2-3 weeks (I work in sales at Lexus of Orlando).

BTW, we have a few different HS colors on the sales lot now. Currently we have a Matador Red, Black Sapphire Pearl, Aurora White Pearl and Obsidian. We recently sold a Smokey Granite Mica and a Black Opal Mica.

Tungsten Pearl = Silver

As for the other colors...

Starfire Pearl = Pearl White
Aurora White Pearl = Pearl White with blue
Silver Opal Mica = Greenish silver.

Here are a few shots of Silver Opal Mica I have taken in different lighting situations...


HS250h World Debut, on-stage @2009 NAIAS - Detroit, MI.




[b]HS250h on the turntable, a few hours after the press conference @ 2009 NAIAS.




Silver Opal Mica under overcast skies @ Pelican Hill Resort, Newport Coast, CA
