Smile Atomic Silver or Sunlit Green 2021 ES350 UL

Hello fellow clublexus members just wanted to get your opinions on color for my 2021 ES350 ultra luxury I'll be ordering. Can't decide between atomic silver or sunlit green both will have black interiors and eventually 20% window tint. I'm in California, SoCal to be exact so majority of the year bright sunlight which color would be good.

Thanks for your opinions/advice!

Get a Flaxen interior instead of black due to extreme sun in California.

I don't care for the brown steering wheel or accents that come with the flaxen. I considered the chateau but saw a couple in a dealership and both showed dirty fingerprints too easily.

There's a reason Atomic Silver is the most popular color with any model that offers it.

If you didn't like the Chateau due to visible fingerprints, you need to view an ES with black interior to compare. The fingerprints and visible dust were the very reason I disliked the black in our previous ES. Each color has trade-offs, but I have enjoyed the Chateau much more than black. I don't have children or pets so I can keep the interior pretty clean, but the black just showed everything. Just my humble opinion.

Currently have a 16 ES350 caviar exterior and black interior so am familiar with black. I have a white dog so chateau would hide the fur but in return show fingerprints and possible coffee stains idk. Whereas black would show dog hair and dust, either color sacrifices something lol.

sunlit green would stand out in a sea of atomic silver making it easier to locate in local mall parking lot.

Since you are the single person that voted for it, is it a safe bet that's your ES's color?

Even that would not be enough to convince me to buy a green Lexus

LOL. I wish! I bought my 2019 ES300H used so availability was rather limited. Other factors were much higher on the list. The exterior color on my car is caviar so basically black so any speck of dust or dirt magnifies a few times over. However it is looking very sharp when it's clean!

IMO the only color that would stand out in a parking lot is USB but obviously, I'm biased...

Doesn't look green to me But you're right, that color stands out wherever it might be. I almost bought one but then chickened out and went with ultra white.

There are so many Atomic Silver vehicles that between the two I would choose green.
As an aside in 2019 when we were getting my wife's 300h I tried to steer her to the Atomic Silver, but she saw a Moonbeam Beige Metallic, so naturally that is what we purchased. It looks very classy and has become my favorite Lexus color. We have had several complements on it and a couple of times been asked if it is an LS500.
