Post Rank the most desirable color combinations for the LS430

How would you rank the top 5-10 more desirable color combinations that came from the factory?

My top would probably be:

Flint on Saddle
Black on Saddle
Flint on Black
Black on Black
White on Saddle

Edit: I'll tally up replies as they come in and keep this post updated. 1st on your list will get 10 points, 2nd gets 9, and on down.

Updated up to post #23

White on Saddle - 27
Black on Saddle - 21
Flint on Black - 17
Briarwood on Saddle - 15
Black on Black - 15
Blue on Saddle - 14
White on Black - 12
Flint on Saddle - 10
White on Tan - 9
Bordeaux on Saddle - 9
Bordeaux on Tan - 9
Mercury on Black - 8
Blue on Ecru - 7
Tan on Beige - 5
Bordeaux on Black - 1

When I was shopping my color priority list was:

1. White on saddle
2. Black on saddle
3. Flint mica on black
4. Black on Black
5. Mercury on black

I really dislike the beige/tan/grey interiors. I passed on a few perfect ones because I hated the interior colors. Glad I stuck it out and found my black on black. The right color combo changes the whole cars image.

First post updated, also moved to a scoring system on a scale of 5 since no one posted more than that.

So far Saddle is the clear interior winner, followed by black. What surprises me is that Briarwood and Blue are the top two exterior!

I like the blue exterior. Does not go well with the Saddle interior in my opinion. The two colors don't compliment each other.
