All the prior press materials point to Ultra Blue which is an existing color we know as Ultrasonic Blue 8U1. The early photo looked to be a different blue, but in full light, it looks to be the same UBM we know.

Not sure if this is a typo... 65 mpg according to the official UK press materials:

I thought I was right, I live with a USB and in certain light it can look very dark. Glad I don't look crazy now

I got confirmation from my official sources at the show. The blue on the 2014 IS 300h F SPORT on the Geneva Show is in a one-off Blue Opal like the LF-LC Concept car.

So I am crazy LOL Wonder what they would look like side by side because in pictures it is really hard to tell the difference.

Love the pics, thanks,.

What color are the rims? They look too light to be graphite.

32.8 UK MPG should be around 27.3 US MPG (hopefully this math is right...)
so 2014 IS250 will get 27.3 MPG combined? That's 3 MPG better than the current IS250.....

no, it is not the same standard for measurement of MPG... so you cant compare them directly... it will probably get 1-2 mpg more at best.
