There are a lot of options in each color area... Four exterior black colors and 3 off-white colors for the interior leather...

i have to say, i haven't really paid much attention to color. i just read everything and i am confused. the pic and liz scanned, is it for ls460 or only for ls600h? i don't see anything associated with it.

and the black onyx on most lexus, they are just the plain black right? i do like the one with some metal flake in it. so liz, are you saying the black opal has flake or not? very confused little kid here

I think Obsidian is regular LS black color and Black Opal is hybrid LS black color. They are both black.
And I have one word for you Henry......Tuesday.

To my understanding, I think the scanned color palettes is for BOTH LS460 & LS600hL, but the black opal is for "hybrid only " according to Liz's post below :

Here's the colors in order of the picture above:

Smoky Granite Mica, Mercury Metallic, Opaline Pearl (available Sring '07), Verdiger's Mica

Obsidian, Golden Almond Mica, Heirloom Pearl

Noble Spinel Mica, Black Opal (hybrid only), Black Sapphire Pearl, Truffle Mica

Interior:
Cashmere, Light Gray, Black, Alabaster
I think that subscript below on the brochure refers to "hybrid only "

Just saw the LS600h at the NY Auto Show in the Black Opal color and although
it does look absolutely stunning, I am not a huge fan of the Purple/Blue tones in
it. I would go for (Black or Smoky Granite Mica).

The more I looked at the dark car the more I liked it. I was for at least 15
minutes and all other cars disappeared from the showrrom

Are you 100 % sure it's the Black Opel paint on the LS600h in the NY Autoshow ? From the pics, particularly the close-up shots, it looks like a very dark blue to me instead of black.
Is it possible that it's actually the Black Sapphire Pearl instead ?

The lady giving the presentation said this is the "Black Opal" color that is exclusive
to the Hybrid, so unless she made a mistake, I am pretty sure. To me it does look
dark blueish

Well I guess the Black Opal is not a truly black paint color then, I think I just recall that Mercedes has a black opal paint too, it's also a very dark blue, not jet black. Sometimes these fancy paint names can be a little confusing, at least as a gem stone, opal does not suggest blue/purple, it's a multi-colored stone
