Hi,

If you go to the Picture Gallery (above) and search under my user name - MJB - you'll find a set of pictures I posted of my Midnight Amethyst Pearl SC430 here in the UK.

They're not fantastic - it's hard to capture! But they'll give you an idea.

All the best,

Martin

Pictures of SC430 with this colour can be found in the 2002 brochure which depicts it quite well.

I think you can try to download the 2002 SC430 brochure at lexus.ca, the Canadian site:http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/experience.../ebrochure.jsp

Here's another place to try: it's an English online Toyota brochure site in Japan. Scroll downabout 12 cars till you find the Soarer S430.

There's a photo gallery and you should select Blackish Mica Red, which is the Japanese equivalent:-

http://www.gazoo.com/eng/auto/frameset.asp

It's not brilliant - but in my opinion no photograph has ever yet
done justice to the colour, because it actually isn't 'a colour'.

It's a wondeful canvass that changes as the light changes. In low light it looks black. In strong sunshine it's the deepest, most gorgeous purple you can imagine! At other times it's somewhere in between.

You have to try and find a dealer who can show you one in the flesh.

All the best,

Martin

Not bad at all.

Those last two show the true 'purple' side of the colour quite well.

Compare those with the cloudy day 'black' shots of my car in the Picture Gallery and you get a pretty good idea

Those pics posted don't look like the Twilight Amethyst color on the 2005 SC430. Does anyone have pictures of this color, or does it really look as dark as the pics posted above?
