Default Satin Cashmere Metallic exterior

I would like a good description of the Satin cashmere Metallic on an RX350 2018. . .Does it look tan or something much richer than tan?

This is one of my favorites colors from Lexus.

Hands down the easiest color to keep clean and maintain looking great.

If I was to describe how it looks, think of like a watered down tan. Not nearly as much "gold" in the color as a tradition tan color. It's like a blend of tan and silver. A middleground color.

My boss HATES tan or gold colors more than anything, but he loved this color as much as I did.

We have several customers at the shop I work at with RX350s in this color. We worked on them when they were brand new (paint polishing and ceramic paint coating application as well as PPF install on teh front ends). These people usually come back to us once a year for their annual maintenance detail and even with neglect, these paints hold up EXTREMELY well.

Lexus is known to have soft paint, especially on the darker colors. This color is an exception. Other good Lexus paints that hold up well are the pearl whites, silvers, and medium grays.

I would get an RX in this color in a heartbeat. It never look dirty and when you give it a fresh detail, it has an amazing "glow" to it that you usually won't get with silver or white.
