Default Starfire Pearl Question

I am rather new to the LEXUS community and I had a quick question in regards to the color STARFIRE pearl.

When did this color become available?

Was it offered originally in 2006 when the 2IS first released?

How many other white finishes were available?

The reason I ask is because I am looking into buying a LIP off someone who has no idea what color his car is, he has a 2007 is250, and call his paint color pearl white, so I just wanted to ensure that if I do proceed on buying it, the color will match my starfire pearl.


Thanks in advance,

FYI, in Asia, the starfire pearl is called "white pearl crystal shine" and it has the same color code 077

I really wanted the glacier frost mica because I didn't want to buy another boring plain white colored car, my last car was a frost white integra, but I was unable to locate one, so I settled or so i thought. i'm glad i went with this color, it's really nice....especially at night at a well lit parking lot when the pearl metallics stand out, almost like a creamy bright silver/white color. I am so glad I got this color now
