That looks like it contains a hint of red in it.
Cadmium is never red. It’s more of a burnt orange to me.
Unless you have a paint sample right next to the Cadmium vehicle, it would be impossible to tell due to changes in lighting.

Yeah figured it would be a long shot comparing online pictures. It definitely has red in it, its like an orange/red/bronze metallic. I can't find this lexus paint code anywhere, even went to a local auto paint supplier and they didn't have anything that matched. Lexus hasn't been very helpful either.

when i saw the cadmium orange online, I figured the LC owners would be a good place to start to see if this color compared at all.

I guess the search goes on.
