I suppose it's this one GS3rdwow took in the Houston Auto show ? He did mentioned it's dark grey with a brown hue, & flipside later added it's called truffle in THIS THREAD

I guess they did keep the name Truffle for the exterior and Alabaster for the Ecru colored interior...just like the LS460 we sat in an. So much for whoever called it Sable Pearl in the first place.

Heh...isn't it nice to know we can count on CL to get the true sources, rather than 3rd party ones at auto shows.

I think the Black Opal should be the best Black color because it's exclusive to the LS600h. The only other black paint is the Obsidian. I think the Black Sapphire Pearl is probably a very dark blue.

Well, it's harder for you not to get the LS600hL now, since the exclusive black opal paint should be better than the black obsidian on the LS460

That Black Opal is niiiiiiiice. It's the same as the PB SC430 from 2 years ago, black with sparkly mica in it.

Yup, it's call Diamond Black , with sparkly bluish flakes, much better than the Black Onyx on the regular SC430.

Do you know the color of the flakes on the Black Opal ?

Uh oh, my mistake. I thought it had mica in it but I just checked outside in sunlight and it doesn't have it, just regular black. Damn color xerox copy. Difficult to see anything.
