Default Official Color Thread V2

Since the old one is kinda outdated, I thought it's better to make a new one with some details. Special thanks to Ransom who created the first thread (here), I hope he doesn't mind.

Great post, Rashoodz, interesting to see the color availability and the ones that held throughout. A lot of work went into this post, thank you for doing this.

Hmm...did not know Crystal White was an '06 only and '07+ was Starfire. Nor did I know that '06 was Black Onyx and '07+ is Obsidian. Interesting!

I like both Amber Pearl and Truffle Mica myself, sad to see they axed it for '11.

Nice thread. Quick suggestion, could you seperate the colors which are merged together as a post link (ie. Crystal White & Starfire Pearl)? When I clicked on them, I found it difficult to find the other color being mentioned for instance.

If it's changed, it would make it easier to find.

^ The reason I made it merged together because Crystal White is replaced by Starfire Pearl, just a newer white, not much of a big difference. And there aren't any separate threads either. Same goes with the other merged color threads.

That's why I made a comparison section in the bottom, so you can compare.

Thanks for the pictures, since those are Lexus Japan colors, I'll think of a way in adding them. Seen the Stargazer Blackt (2nd pic) in person though, it's black but glittery, kinda weird.

Thanks for the update. Deep Sea Mica sounds nice. I didn't know about that one I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I actually saw this color in person at Lexus of Bellevue just outside the entrance. Very dark like blue depending on the light, it looks like black.

I wonder if one can order the dark purple (9AL) looking on which I posted from Lexus Japan.
