From wikipedia...
The first generation LS was both a critical and commercial success, selling between 21,000 and 42,000 units annually.

Ultimately, the UCF20 model was a sales success, although not as voluminous as the original model, reaching just over 110,000 units during its six-year production run.

In its first year of sales, the third generation Lexus LS again became the top-selling prestige vehicle in the U.S. and 31,473 units were sold in total.[18] With continued sales success, the LS 430 retained this title until its final year of production, and over 157,000 total units were sold in total.

The references for those numbers are from the Lexus website according to their credits section.

For specific numbers, I would try contacting the Lexus corporate headquarters. They should know and be willing to share the specifics.

Okay...a few pdf's here...
Total units produced is generally on page 2 below the performance numbers.
Colours are on the last page.

1990
1991
1992
1993
1994

Here you can find the other years and models as well.

I'm not entirely sure how accurate these PDF's are, or if there is something else odd about them. For example, the 1997 model was offered with optional HID headlamps according to this.

even better, they say that my 99LS is 0.1s faster 0-60mph and in the 1/4mile than the 98 or 00 LS
