Black Cherry is pretty nice already. I would stick with it but that's me. If your unhappy with it I suggest going with a non standard color. Black, White, and Silver are pretty common.

The Lexus Graphite is a beautiful color. Other then that I say look outside the Lexus Family.

Your end goal with the car and its current look are important too. If your going VIP for instance Black might be your best choice. Any before/current pics?

why not keep it black cherry? that is not a common color and looks great. If you are repainting the whole car I am sure its cheaper to keep it the same color. If you have to change I would go black

That's going to cost some serious dough and hard work, I actually love the black cherry, it's a rare color.

My next one will be white with a black roof and black wheels, so that's my vote.

Black Cherry is awesome!! The beige int. is the problem. It's a bad color combo.......That's just me. Good Luck!!!

I think you should keep the black cherry and change the interior color instead!

black cherry ftw. I'm also considering crystal white with black roof, or a different mfgr's silver with a black roof. I'm sick of taking care of black, and those two combos are unique around me even though tons of people have it on here haha.
