I think it looks like Truffle Mica too, but Verdigris Mica is also possible. Sometimes it's not easy to tell apart subtle paint colors like these in pictures, they can both look gray in pictures.
Similarly, just from the pic posted above, you can't really say for certain whether the Prince of Monaco's LS600 is Black Opal or Black Sapphire.

Now that the LS 600h L is more expensive than the Century, perhaps if they make a Lexus replacement for the Century it can still retain a 'Century package' for the traditionalists. 
I liked that too! Air Force One--Ichiban--Numero Uno--etc.
Also noticed that the Monaco royal LS license plate looks like 'MC 01' I guess "Monaco 1"

Come to think of it, I remember sitting in the back of an LS 600h L exec at Taste of Lexus (yes after I drove once, the next time was back on the ottoman chair like a king), and I seem to recall a different shaped floor mat there.

Hi all.
There's a Japanese armoring company called Securico who armors cars like the new Lexus LS. Here are some pictures of a 600hL they are working on.
It seems that for the doors, they are using brand new parts for modification. May be they don't want to ruin the Black Opal Mica.
The site has not been updated for a while. If there's an update, I will put up the new pix.
enjoy,

Very cool, thx for the pics! I wonder who the armored LS 600h L is for? And is the very last pic a W126 S-Class?
I found one of the U.S. sites I was referring to with armored LS 430s available:
Here is the website link:
http://www.lascointl.com/vehicles/06lexus.htm
And a second website:
http://www.mushriquiconsulting.com/sm01_a.htm
Both have 'B-6' level armored Lexus LS sedans.
