Undecided
Got a new 2017 ES 350 3 months ago. Atomic Silver exterior. Light gray interior. I love it so far. My current 2008 350 is white exterior with Parchment. Love that too, but didnt think anything would look good with the Atomic Silver except gray or black interior.
Honestly I think the black interior for the es350 is the best. They could have designed the color schemes better. The 2 tone color schemes like tan with black in their other models (rx, nx, is) look nice. The tan in the es350 is all over the place.
We strongly dislike the black interior. It shows every speck of dust and my OCD tendencies just aren’t a good match with the black. If my wife didn’t dislike the brown trim in the new color schemes, we would have traded it for a 2016 model. We love the Atomic Silver and just decided to live with the black interior but we will never do another. The Lexus parchment and creme interiors are much easier to live with. Just my opinion on the interior color discussion.
I cant find the owners and nav manual ,anywhere in the car. Is Lexus not supplying these anymore? I was able to download them from the internet, but I don`t look forward to going on my PC to learn .

There is no right or wrong answer....if it looks nice to you, that s all that matters. I have Atomic Silver and black and love the look. I was ok with the parchment interior until 2016 when they paired it with brown for the steering wheel and dash.
Dear guys
I was wondering which combination would suit better.
I have to say I am not a big fan of black interior. It is very dark and reminds you of an enclosed space where there is no freedom.
I prefer saddle tan color
Is it preferable to have exterior titanium?
Is it prefertable to have exterior navy blue?

I like Black interiors, I think they are easier to keep clean and looking good.
In the South, they like light interiors because of the heat.
I've been partial to Matador Red w/ Black Int, my wife likes White Pearl w/ Black interior. She's been driving a White Pearl ES since '91 (5 different generations)
I avoid Black exteriors as I find them too difficult to keep looking good.
BUT IN THE END, it is your money buy what you like, not what I like!
Over the course of years I've had several vehicles with light interiors. I found them always high maintenance to keep clean. On my last 3 vehicles (1 Acura and 2 ES) I have gone with black interiors. I don't mind living with the warmer temperatures during the summer months in exchange for the lower maintenance. But as others have said color choice is a relative thing both interior and exterior. I have gone with white exteriors on all 5 of my most recent owned cars and almost bought my 2014 'ES off lease because the dealer had no white ones in stock in my preferred equipment. He ended up doing a dealer trade for my white/black 2017 with navi, luxury package, power trunk release, heated steering wheel and rear screen along with several other options. Go with what best moves you!
I would, but my wife didn’t care for the brown color. We don’t dislike black in general, we just don’t like the challenge of keeping it looking clean. On the other hand, she just didn’t like that particular brown so it was a no starter for us.
As others have stated, the color choices are very subjective and you want to buy the one YOU enjoy looking at the most. It really doesn’t matter what color choice any of the rest of us would favor.
