Might as well add Smoky Granite/Alabaster, I did not include it & the Truffle/Grey in the poll because I went by the color combinations listed as available on Lexus.ca, & at the time, & that's already too much for me to type when I started this thread for fun(almost immediately regretted it )

The brownish hue of the Truffle Mica does not always show itself even when seen in person, depending on the lighting, & pictures often do not capture that brownish tint, they often just look gray in pictures. Here's a Truffle Mica LS460L I shot when I visited HK last November :




I notice that both the HK & Singapore versions of the LS460 have side marker lights on the fender in front of the front doors, which are absent on the North American models ...

Yes, it is a MASSIVE list lots of hard work.

I added Smoky Granite/Alabaster, and to keep the Smoky Granite choices together I moved them all down along with the new Alabaster option, it's too much work to move the whole list one by one.

Those Smoky Granite pics (funny not 'smokey') look nice.

Those pics are not Smoky Granite, its Truffle Mica...and I prefer the car without the side marker lights. The amber reflectors on the headlamps are useless they don't illuminate at all unlike North American models, they should have just made it white like in the case of the North American Lexus RX and the European and Asian ones (the North American RX don't come with the side marker lights too)

Ah, thx for clarifying for me, the Truffle Mica LS is very nice...

I saw several GS 350s yesterday and they incorporate the side mirror turn signals, we might see that on the LS 460 one day...

I wonder how it will look. The GS has the side mirrors attached to the front windows while the LS has mirrors attached to the car body and the shape of the mirrors are very different. Maybe it will look like the Honda Civic's but a more luxurious version of course.

Just saw a Glacier Frost LS460 for the first time ever, it's a LS460L with a black interior, in my neighborhood. This paint is not offered in the US or even in Japan(I think) for the LS.

Default Two-tone looked good...really

I saw a gangster movie one time where the well-heeled bad guys were running around in what looked like a 2002 LS. There was a trim piece along the tops of the wheel well.
Everything below the trim looked like a pearlescent silver and above the trim was a dark metallic blue.

Really did look good.

I don't see a difference between Glacier Frost and Opaline Pearl. I think that color is available in Singapore as Bluish Pearl Crystal Shine (074). IMO, the color names here are not creative at all they sound like names that belong to a Toyota, they should just stick to the American names.

Exterior Colors
Starfire Pearl = White Pearl Crystal Shine (077)
Mercury Metallic = Premium Silver (1F2)
Obsidian = Black (212)
Truffle Mica = Sable Mica Metallic (4T5)
Noble Spinel Mica = Dark Red Mica Crystal Shine (3R7)
Golden Almond Metallic = Beige Metallic (4T1)
Verdigris Mica = Jade Green Metallic (6V0)
Black Sapphire Pearl = Dark Blue Mica (8U0)
Smoky Granite Mica = Dark Grey Mica (1G0)

Interior Colors
Cashmere = Ivory (00)
Alabaster = Mellow White (01)
Light Gray and Black are the same
