Default Atomic silver or platinum silver..

Sigh...
Platinum looks great but I had it already. Liked it very much but there's something atomic silver that I like, but they didn't have it with my options.
Anyone here have atomic and opinions would be great. I thought to get grey interior with it too.

I was looking at the Atomic Silver today. I love my Liquid Platinum, but if I were getting one today, I'd get the Atomic I think.

I don't think it would go well with grey, better with black or flaxen, or cabernet if its an F Sport.

Agreed. I like them both, but would probably opt for platinum because I'm not as big a fan of the slightly warm tint of atomic. They both look killer with cabernet, but I would also pass on atomic if you're set on grey interior, not enough contrast and I don't think the monochromatic grey would go well with it.

Well the roof is that light grey and I wanted to continue it visually through the seats and door panels. Having 3 colors would drive me crazy.

But your both right with flaxen, does the roof color change to a tan color then? Ill find out lol Then we're in business

Yeah, the roof is tan with the flaxen, or its black if its an F Sport. Its only grey with the black and grey interiors

I love my Liquid Platinum F Sport, but if Atomic Silver had been available in '13 I would have gotten that instead. Great color! Wouldn't pair it with gray interior, though.

I would pick Liquid Platinum over Atomic Silver, LP is just such a clean brilliant color. I only wanted white or LP.

I too wanted to see how the AS looked. I had the two parked next to each other. IMO, LP looks nicer. AS is a new color but it has some hidden gold/yellowish that makes the car look as if it were not clean.

Coming from a Tungsten Silver IS, I had no interest in another silver car until I saw Atomic Silver. It's different in different light and that's why I love it. You get a little silver, a little titanium, and a little gold. It's like a new color every time the weather changes

And what I like about it is its a little unusual. I love the way the car looks in LP, but everybody has silver luxury sedans. I'm at a point now where light colors and the ease that comes with them are what I want...but I still want to be a little unusual. Aside from a light blue or green or something that often looks...ugh...something like this is the option.

Agreed but the options I wanted weren't available so for a great price I went for LP with black interior. Gorgeous ride, incredible and im so happy. Coming from IS since 08 and an IS f-sport in 2011, its hard to leave the lexus brand. I checked around.

I'm 6'3 and change so its night n day getting in and out the ride now lolol that's what started this all. was getting tired of the smaller ride which btw is in perfect condition. Whoever gets it next is very lucky, I took great care of it.
