Looks like there may be a red and a darker red available. Can anyone confirm?

It's the same car in both pic. Someone here mentioned that it's the same red as in 4GS.

The red from the 4GS is called "Riviera Red" (Color code 3S8). Matador Red Mica is NOT offered in the 4GS ...

If the red on the 3IS is the same as the 4GS - it is Riviera Red

under strong light it is lighter, during night it looks darker... you can literally see effect in the pics above... you can also check out GS with same color at the dealer or various pics on the internet... it is really nice color..

From what we were told by the Lexus execs at the debut, it's a one off red for now. It actually pops more than Riviera Red in person for sure. We'll know more down the road when the rest of the official color chart comes out for the new IS.

When do you think the color chart will come out? I remember someone posting photos of the color samples when the new GS was unveiled.

Lexus hasn't posted anything yet on colors. I do know for a fact Ultra White and Ultrasonic Blue will be available for F SPORT models.
