Default Florida "Special Edition" paint?

Is there a special factory paint color available only in Florida? Some sort of bronze-ish pearl flip-flop? My wife's friend has some sort of Lexus (seems like LS460 from the very little description she gave me) and the friend says it's a FL-only color. So I'm curious....

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of...the gold is awful, couldn't be confusing that? I sense a little salesmanship perhaps, haha

Sounds like the factory Fire Agate Pearl paint. I think that color is special order, but don't think it's Florida exclusive. Really nice looking color though; have yet to see that color on an LS460 in person.

Looks cool in pictures though:

Thanks! My wife thinks something was mentioned about "plum". I googled images for "LS460 Plum" and what came up definitely isn't it, she says. Agate could be it, though the car looks so different from various angles (and so do the pics Google shows for "LS460 Fire Agate Pearl") it's hard to say. I'll look for the car next time I'm at her office....

I figured the "Florida special color" was unlikely. Yeah, in Texas you can get a pickup truck from most American brands with special Texas trim, but that's a whole different thing....

Upon further reflection, it's probably definitely Fire Agate. Has a Flaxen interior. Thanks all!

BTW, here's a little story. The car got keyed pretty badly. Insurance estimated $4k to paint damaged panels. Dealer told friend there was no way it'd match, and full repaint was the only way to go, @ $7K. Dealer called insurance, insurance agreed. Whole car repainted.

It is an extremely rare color.... Have only seen pictures on Autotrader. Typically has the saddle interior.....
