Default Need help finding paint code

Hi guys im new on here but i dont own a lexus i own a 06 RSX type s.
Today ive seen a IS300 and it had the best color ive seen around (to me) it was a very light gold(maybe with a lil metallic) Does any one have pics of this color on their cars? I dont know if it was a custom color. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I dont know if the guy that owns it is on here but if u live in shreveport,louisiana then ur the person im talking about with it.

It might be the alabaster metallic. I will try to find the car with that color

Here is a color chart for 1st and 2nd gen IS






EDIT:

I found only this pic. The pic does no justice. Its one of the hardest photogenic colors out there. This color is the rarest colors out. It came out in 04 in the SD.

Yea....Alabaster is one of my favorite colors on the IS, but its like the hardest color to find. So, I settled for the BO SD

Thanks for the color chart info. Also when you hit the link it shows the color chart for every toyota, scion and lexus. They even have color info on the Toyota 2000gt. I have only seen one Toyota 2000gt in my life, a white one.
