I like the color, even if people say it's more of a feminine color.

Thanks for starting this thread, I certainly don't mind.

It really is a pretty color, hence the reason the wife picked it out (since it is her car). I would have chosen Tungsten Pearl, Starfire Pearl, or Matador Red Mica (and I would have gotten the IS350 too...). However, this was a gift from me to her, so it was whatever she wanted.

Being we live in Arizona, this color really hides the dust well and the lighter interior makes a lot of sense. We especially appreciate the ventilated seats! The other thing she really likes is the fact that she doesn't see very many Cerulean Blue Metallic ISx50's running around and when she does, they never seem to have chrome wheels. Makes her feel like her car is special.

Same here. I didn't know they had this color either.

Nice car though!

jorgee88-

Yours (like mine) is Break Water Blue, not Cerulean (a 2011 only color.)

BWB = a silvery blue.
Cerulean = a blueish GFM (though I haven't actually seen one in person.)


And I think he may be alone - while BWB wasn't a popular I have seen ~10 or so that weren't mine in the last year. I don't think I've ever seen a Cerulean blue IS but perhaps I can't tell them apart.
