There's been talk of a mismatched color of the knee level airbag cover, but this is a photo of the Circuit Red seats on my '19 ES F Sport.

Neat huh?

 

Great, now I have to pay attention to mine...LOL

 

Interesting...the bottom cushion almost looks more like Rioja Red as opposed to Circuit Red.

 

That is for sure. Wow.

 

Just checked mine and both the front and rear seats match...

 

Stunned that Lexus would let that through QC or that dealer would pass it along to the customer. That just isn’t right.

 

Does the color difference between the seat back and bottom cushion look that stark in real life?

As a photographer, I know that colors can appear to look different in a photo than the way way that they actually look depending on the camera's white balance and, among other factors, depending on the angle with which the light is hitting the subject.

If the color mis-match, in reality, is that obvious, I would not be pleased, but I'm trying to establish whether it might be the case that the photo is not accurately depicting reality.

 

Geez, what's going on here? Mismatched seats and dash panels!! Not characteristic of Lexus cars but here they are... Surprised and disappointed...

 

Damn...Is the color on all of the seats in the car off like that or just one of them?

Now I gotta check my seats in addition to my dash...

 

I wouldn't have taken a picture unless it was something I noticed right after getting the car a year ago. You're correct, it isn't as stark as the picture shows, but it is different.

Picture left is in daylight from the driver's seat with doors closed. Picture right is in the garage with door open and garage up. Both natural light, no flash, no incandescent lighting.

 

Here is Circuit Red seats on my '19 ES F Sport. The car was in the closed garage.

 

If the material was real leather, modest differences from pelt to pelt would be common, but this stuff is nu-vinyl.

 

Nu-vinyl apparently from different dye lots...

 

Thats likely the answer. Looking at the other pictures, thats not the riola red. More reason to love black interiors😁

 

No surprise. Go check out a 2020 RX F-Sport with Circuit Red. The door panels are a completely different shade of red!
