Default What Color is your IS and Why?

My 2011 IS350 is Matador Red because when I bought it (end of 2011) is was either red or dark grey (think rain cloud about to pour - no offense to others with that color) to choose from with the end of year model pricing.

What color is yours and why?

I'd prefer Starfire with black interior but couldn't find a leftover 350 Starfire with black interior so I went with my second choice.
Black interior is a must for me.

I ended up getting black, mainly because I bought the car used, and got it for a screamin' deal ($5,000 under bluebook) so I didn't have much of a choice. The only other color I would have gone with is Blue anyway-I absolutely love my black with black on tan interior though-I think it looks way classy and when it's clean it really does sparkle. (Please don't judge me on the wheels, I'm in the process of trying to find new ones!)

SGM - I saw one with a tan interior and I really liked it. Plus SGM is easier to keep clean than black.

SFP - Because ever since the first time I saw the color in the light, I fell in love.
My second choice was GFM, but I couldn't find an IS in my price range or with the options I wanted with that color.

I picked SGM because I like dark metallic colors. It hides the dirt nicely to an extent as well. Second choice was Obsidian or SFP. I would really go for a black color if it was metallic black like they have for the RX here or the IS in other countries.

Wanted either starfire or obsidian, with black interior for both and NAV was a must. Found a black one. Either color was my favorite. I love SGM too but my is300 I just sold was basically the same color.

I got SFP because that's the sexiest color for a girl IMO
