well, according to my dealer this color doesn't roll off the assembly line that often. my sales agent showed me the total production # of aurora whites for Jan & it was like 10 or 13..can't remember the exact #. my car took 4 weeks to arrive from Japan but it was worth the wait.
I personally wanted a white/gray combination. the gray interior color was identical to my previous acura & i feel it doesn't get dirty easily.
thats the beauty of aurora white~ whiter than white hehehe
the color varies slightly under different weather condition. it would appear more like a white/light blue under a bright sunny day or can appear more like a bright white silverish color under cloudy day.
hope this helps~

My interior choice would have been gray anyway. Hate the black with that red wood trim and wow does it show scuff marks. Parchment is too yellow toned and I spill a LOT.
YES! Definitely helps I was worried it would appear pink or lavender as there seem to be a lot of flex of pink in the color swatches. I was worried there was a reason that Japan was not making this color = that it might look bad or like one of those pink cadillacs ! It looks a lot whiter than I thought that it would, but different at the same time. LIke it.

I can believe that! He said he can get one allocated to them but there may be additional costs for freight. He said I would have a unique vehicle

no worries, the aurora white doesn't have any hint of pink at all~

Aurora white is a beautiful color--but then again, I bought it so I'm a bit biased.

The dealer's swatches are very misleading. By looking at it, I was worried about the pinkish undertone but there isn't a hint of pink/purple in this color. It's white with a blue base as opposed to a white with a yellow base. I posted some pics on another thread with the aurora white nose-to-nose with a starfire white. You can really see the difference.

Did anyone ever determine if the gray interior was different in the 450H than the 350? Saw the gray interior in a 350 but all they had in the hybrid was black or parchment.

Thanks for the side by side pix. I saw the starfire pearl and thought it had a yellow tone to it. Real life color is so different from the swatch. If someone orders it without benefit of all these wonderful posts and photos on this forum, wow will they be shocked. It is much "whiter" than I thought it would be - the cool tone of blue and no silver or pink. I love it. Definitely worth the wait as my dealer has the starfire pearl but as I said have never even had the aurora white in their dealership. Think I will start the process for them to find one thanks to all the pix and thoughts I've read.

my interior is identical to the OP, and scroll down a bit to see tex lex's 350 gray interior.
450h's door penal & the arm rest area are all black as opposed to gray in 350.

What I will tell you. The sample is worthless unless they updated it and fixed it. Like you said, the color is whiter than white and love it. Makes all other "white" cars look like aged white or even yellowish at times.
The downside to this paint, it is extremely hard to keep clean. Easy to see dirt on it. And after it rains, if your gaps aren't squeeky clean, you will see dirt streaks from the door handles and gas door. But if you clean often, you will be happy.

Your dealer is right, its an extremely rare color. My dealer had to wait 3 or 4 weeks to find the color in the usa for another customer. When I had purchased it, they simply recommended to put in an order and wait for the delivery, which imo, was worth it.

my parents own a RX350.
i notice that the low beam projectors on the RX450H are on the inner part of the headlights instead of the outter part like the RX350. what is that? anyone knows?
