That just can't be real......there is no way they actually named a color that lol!

 

For years my wife has called these beige/gold colors "old people colors". She's even got me saying it, AND we're both old!

It looks pretty good on the GL450.

 

Of course it’s not the real name of the color. lol

here’s a list of the real color names.

 

I was gonna say, that can't be real.

BTW gold LS400 looks great.

Gold LS430s looked awful, pre-refresh.




It's not an ugly car but it's not pretty either. It is regal and expensive looking, however, so there's that.

2004 LS430 refresh one of the best refreshes ever.

Here is the refresh, I rather like it.

 

So Jeep apparently had a color called "Hearing Aid Beige" for a SEMA show a long time ago.

2009 Jeep Wrangler JT Concept

 

Hahaha!! Never heard of that before.

Maybe these days "Long Island Gold" or "West Palm Gold" would be a more appropriate names lol.

 

The color is called “old man tan “ and I say that as an expert having owned one

 

I think the pre refresh LS 430s look ugly in any color.
The refresh looks much better, but only with the 5 spoke wheels.

 

Haha! Yeah, that thing is giving me Toyota chaser vibes.

 

That's a great pic Dave. That LS is beautiful. Looks slightly lowered.

 

"Old man tan" I've never heard that in my life, lmao.

 

I think a black or blue pre-facelift with chrome rims both pass the test. But still, refresh looks a million times better. Pre refresh was absolutely out of the question.

My lawyer's parking garage has a black one just like this.... looks still dowdy, but nevertheless expensive and has presence. Haven't been in years to see him, wonder if it's still there.

 

i first heard the term when peter jones and theo paphitis (guys from dragon's den) were the guests on top gear... clarkson says how peter bought a beige maybach 62, and theo corrects him 'no no it's jewish racing gold'

actually speaking of top gear and hearing aids, when clarkson and hammond attempted to design a car specifically for the elderly, this is how they decided on the paint color

 

the pre facelift 17" wheels on the 430 (as pictured in your post) are probably my favorite wheel upgrade for the 400! the 5 spoke 18" wheels look great of course but the 17s are still pure classiness without starting to be sporty



i think this car actually belonged to @billydpowe who was in the LS forum years ago

 

Finally saw the new Z this morning. It was a dark blue. I couldn't get my phone out in time but it looked really good.
