It's all personal, and I personally think the black looks the best among the mainstream colours (i.e. the whites, grays, silvers). The car looks like a gem when shined up in black.

Among the exotic colours, by far, the Ultrasonic Blue is hot and will get you noticed.

Be different, nearly everybody has Nebula Grey, Obsidian or Ultra White.

+1 for USB, Caviar and Atomic Silver

Redline in my opinion looks too flat, I liked the Matador Red Mica from previous years much more.

I like both Ultra White and Atomic Silver. I asked the dealer to park both colors next to each other and I almost picked Atomic Silver. Atomic Silver changes under different lighting conditions, appearing gunmetal, silver, or even slightly silver-bronze. Absolutely stunning and complements the curves of the car.

Ended up choosing Ultra White/RR. It's always dirty, and every bumper paint chip shows because the base is black. Nothing beats walking up to my car and seeing a "white" MB/BMW parked next to it and noticing the difference in color. Lexus UW is a cool white, compared to the creamy whites from other Mfctrs.

Black on Black because I VIP my cars. Maybe White on Black too.

That's what I'll choose for myself but just make sure you pick the color you love.

AS, Nebula Gray, Caviar. USB looks purple and Ultra White is too sterile and does nothing for the IS. RR interior of course.

Personally the black Obsidian looks best to me but I know I opted for a lot of work. White is great and lowered maintenance (good contrast going on) and the blue...well definaley the most sporty color and stands out the most.

Recently sat in an '18 IS with a red interior, and was blown away. Really takes the look of the vehicle up a notch, IMO.

I really like the red with certain exterior colors including Caviar/Obsidian, Nebula Gray, and of course Atomic Silver (after all, I had a few options and went with AS/RR, lol). I am liking Flaxen too, though. Flaxen with the USB exterior is

You may have just prompted me to explore the IS customization page...Flaxen would look spectacular with USB. The Nuance Black (Non F-Sport only) is an interesting one that could work with almost any exterior color.

Default obsidian

a lot of votes for atomic silver. having both, prefer obsidian. it even stays pretty clean parked outside all day in the dust.
