Default check out this funky hs color!

I should have gotten the real white hs parked two cars down to compare, but it appears that this HS is actually a really really light blue/light gray white color. Very very unique...funky. Not sure if I like.

They call it "silver opal mica" and it's a cross between a cloud blue and that old school pearl/gray lexus used to have and baby blue. FUNKY!

Not feeling it even though it is very unique. I like the color of my car more

It's interesting but I doubt it will be very popular.

This color is absolutely fabulous in person. It looks amazing with overcast, it has a silver, blue white hue. Just stunning.

Saw a RX 450h with it and my pops and I could not stop looking. It is a BEAUTIFUL color in the shade.

If I went away from black, this likely would be the color I'd go with.

That is actually Aurora White Pearl which is also available only on the RX450h.

It's a very white with blue hue. Think big giant glacier color.

IIRC it seems as if there's a yellow/gold pearl in it too, nice color indeed

Agreed, pictures do not do this color justice. I've seen an RX450h with this color in person and I could not stop looking at it either! Simply stunning color in person.
