Default 1997 SC400 What color is this?

Hello all,

I just bought this, awaiting shipping. Can you help me figure out the name of the exterior color? Thanks very much.

PS-I think it is :"Bluish Silver Metallic" code 1A0???

I believe this is called "Shadow Rose Quartz". Rare color. Beautiful!

Thank you. I was wondering, as you don't see many of those. I am over the moon at finding this car. One owner, FL car. I will post pix when it arrives.

Nice find, one of the few exterior colors from the SC's palette that came with a factory tan/black interior.

That's definitely one of the more elegant colors. Something doesn't look right about the color of the rear bumper and side spats, though. It looks like there's paint damage around the muffler tip, so maybe they were just re-sprayed and were too difficult to color match?

The deal feel through. When viewing more detailed pictures. much of the clear coat on the roof, hood and trunk was degraded. Would take a major respray and way too expensive.

Too bad, loved the color scheme on this car.

I live close by this dealer. They have a fair amount of Lexus cars for sale always but they’re almost never as good as they seem. Unfortunate.

I believe this is my new favourite factory color. Pure class. Wish my LS was this shade. The way luxury cars are supposed to be. Now you get to chose from a hundred different shades of black, grey, silver and white. In other words ... non-colors.
