Default Lexus shades of Blue?
I'm in the market for an IS 250... I'm going to list every shade of blue that I could find from '06 through '08, please let me know if I missed any...


Blue Onyx Pearl, available in '06.
Breakwater Blue Metallic, available '06 through '08.
Black Sapphire Pearl (appears Blueish) available '07 and '08

What was the last year Spectra Blue was offered? Were there any other shades of blue I missed?

Do they have different colors that are IS specific, GS specific, etc?

Spectra blue was never offered on the 2nd Gen IS ..... only on the previous IS300.

Oh ok, thanks... I wasn't sure, that's why I asked.

Are there any shades of blue that I missed?

I'm surprised it's so hard to find a good shade of blue... It's not like I'm looking around for an orange car or anything...

Why is blue such a rare shade with Lexus?

If the new IS-F Blue would've been available for the '08 IS models, that would make my decision a little easier...

If something to this effect was available on the '08 IS250s, I'd be down to the dealer ASAP:

If spectra blue was available on the IS250/350 I would be all over it like a fat kid on McD's. I had that color on my first Celica and it was so nice!

Isn't Blue Onyx essentially the same as Black Sapphire, just a change in name?
