Default Different type of Leather (IS250/350)

Hi team,

Looking to get an 06-08 IS250/350 (L version) and have stumbled across many different types of Leather options. I wanted to get a better understanding on all that is available and the difference between them.
For example, I have seen the standard black, beige, white and a grey leather. The grey leather seems to be the worst in terms of quality, however, I am no leather expert.... It would be great to get some further insight into this!

Below are a few pictures of the different leather types I have seen so far:



Grey leather - I have seen many with this and almost all of them have been poor quality..

Beige leather - one of the better looking options!

White leather - very rarely seen. Felt the most prestige.

Default Silver Leather vs Beige (or white) Leather help!

So I am looking to import a Lexus IS350 2006 L from Japan however, I am at a crossroad on whether the picture shown in this photo is the Silver Leather or Beige (or white) Leather:


(This is the only photo I have so far unfortunately)

I have seen many Beige Leather IS250/350 around and only a handful of White Leather ones (which is apparently a limited version). My question is, does this look like it's more the Silver Leather? Note that I would like to avoid the Silver Leather at all costs...

Here is an example of the Silver Leather on another car:



Help!

Looks like silver. Beige would be more creamy and warm. As a silver IS with grey interior owner, it def looks like grey under those lighting conditions

Lighting matters, but that's def the light gray (sterling) interior.
