I tried looking up paint colors for the RX and did not find a dark green. There is a color called Black Forest Pearl, color code 6T3, but it is not what I would call a forest green. It is a grayish green. Nor is it listed as being used on the 2008.

So what you want to do is go look at the paint color code. It is on a sticker on the left side B pillar. Open the driver's door and look on the pillar between the front area and back area that has the door latch. Look on the black tag, the lower left corner. The 2nd line from the bottom starts C/TR. This means Color/Trim. following this are the codes for the paint and trim colors. In the example below, the paint code is 1C0, which is a silver-gray color that Lexus calls Silver Metallic.

Once you have that code you should be good to go, unless the car has a custom paint color.

There was Desert Sage Metallic in 2008 that I've seen on RXs and ISs. Super rare color, we tried to find one when shopping for our RX but none were available locally at the time.

took the car to the dealer this morning, order touch up from them, a lot cheaper then what I found on line, one small spot on the hatch, no big deal, hope it matches.
