Default What color is this?

I can't seem to find the name for this color, the only thing close to it is the NM edition, but then I thought NM edition comes in only 2007? this is 08 model. This is a 08 GS450H btw.

It's either Crystalline Ice or Glacier Frost. I'm leaning glacier frost. The color code is on the door. You can post it or google it

Color Codes on the driver's door frame might be 1F2 = Mercury Metallic or 1G5 = Frosty Pearl Mica.
Rendition on my monitor is suspect but I am leaning toward Frosty...
Non-450h models in 2008 also list 7G5 = Opaline Pearl and 9AB = Quartz Shadow Metallic

That's a bit darker than glacier frost mica, I'm pretty sure that was a Neiman Marcus color only.

Its definitively the Crystaline Blue, either its a 07 with a swapped front grille and mirrors or repainted 08

It will be interesting to take a pic of the for label.

Such a rare find btw!

So I went to check it out, I looked at the side door sticker and it shows the 8T9 code and when I looked it up, it is the crystalline ice color but I thought this color was only for the 2007 Neiman Marcus edition? anyway, I got his owner ship and I searched up the VIN and it does show its a 2008 model. So how did this color get on an 08?

^Maybe a custom order? Or a color for just hybrids as well? If its on the door sticker, I doubt it's an aftermarket repaint (plus you would be able to tell.
