Yeah, I was also hoping for something like Electric Blue or that GS pic. (Actually, the 3rd gen GS has a fantasic Blue Onyx which the IS has---can't wait to see)
Come on, Lexus, this is the 'young' 'hip' '3-series fighter' -- can't it have some cool, slightly less serious colors? I mean, the design is fantastic already, very flashy and eye-catching....how about them colors?
(I reserve judgment, after all, the other colors are yet to be seen---but can't let other luxury car makers have all the fun in colors!)

Exactly, the following GS pic is killer...
Before that, an IS colors chart...all real photos except the bottom corner one, a photoshop by someone on CL (thx, sry forgot name)...

Gold/cashmere is probably the worst color a sporty car can have. Lexus should've kept the original bright yellow of the IS, which has always fit the sporty character very well.
(Nice shot, 4NTOY)

heh....i should know this, but what is semianiline leather?? I know the LS430 offers it, but I never seen it.
I know, I'm just a little slow right now.

Blue Onyx is the same dark blue you find on the new GS. Not quite Spectra Blue Metallic or Indigo Ink, but it is a nice colored dark blue.

My ES is Blue Onyx and I love it for its rich and noble look. But if one day (probably sooner than I think) I decide to switch to the new IS, I want it to look sporty and neither the Blue Onyx nor the Breakwater Blue will do well in that regard.
Spectra Blue Metallic or Indigo Ink would've been awesome.
