Default Palomino Interior

Hi folks! I am fairly new to this forum. I have ordered a ES 350 UL locally however, it seems to be taking some time to get here in central Illinois. I ordered Eminent White with Palomino interior. I have yet to see live shots of that interior thus far. I did see it in an ES on the showroom floor, but I think the bright lights make it look on the orange-ish side. I am hoping someone reading this can post pictures of their Palomino interior in natural light. Thanks!

Steve

I had the same dilemma as pictures online ranged from tan to almost pumpkin orange. The ES brochure has a pretty color rendering of the actual hue. There is somewhat of an orange undertint, but I think it actually looks great in sunlight.

Palomino is THE BEST interior color combination.

Agreed. One reason is the use of the open pore walnut trim. I don't understand why Lexus only uses the walnut with Palomino. Every other color comes with black, which, as is the case with a lot of open pore wood, looks cheap, like something in IKEA furniture. Black and walnut, for example, would look great.

Agree on the wood. I have the black wood in my Acorn interior, and I wish I had the walnut. I think they're simply aping the Germans, who did the black first.

Here is the 2022 Palamino interior on a shady day so it's very accurate in color.


And here is a salesman showing the interior and he fully admits the color on the video isn't realistic:

I think this photo show its real life color better. In daylight, it is more dark cream than orange. Great color combo btw! My UL is the exact same

YES I have Palomino interior in mine and this is the best pic yet to really capture the color right. its pretty close to the older parchment color, albeit a bit richer.

I compared that photo you say is the best pic to the photo on my phone that I took in person and that pic on my computer looks way too light, almost tan. LOL must be the difference in the monitor colors.

Thanks to everyone for your assistance. I feel comfortable with Palomino being my interior color. Plus, you get the wood grain trim...
