Is that a color they offer? I have an 06 GS Brochure right here and I don't see it listed...was that a color they offered in early releases that might have been changed when the updates for the car released early in the year?

I'm assuming by metallic charcoal...you are describing the color, not actually using the Lexus' "term of art" in naming the color? Flint Mica is very metallic and is a dark charcoal out of the light.....how do you like yours? Hide the dirt very well?

I agree. That's definitely Flint Mica. It's a little tough to distinguish in this pic due to the color balance of my digi cam at the time, but Quartz Shadow is more on the purple/blue side like this below. Blue Onyx is actually much darker than this withmore of a deep dark blue.
