Default Interior Colors?

Considering a white LC500 Coupe. The problem is nobody has any in stock by me to view. I either want the Toasted Caramel interior or the Circuit Red, but I'm not really in love with either. I'm concerned that the Caramel interior lacks contrast because it's all basically one color and I might dislike it over time. The circuit red is more up my alley, but after watching some vids on youtube I can't understand why Lexus has some sections a dark maroon color along with the circuit red. The colors don't seem to complement each other well. I wish Lexus would give the consumer some more interior choices besides that crazy orange and all black. Maybe I should wait for next years model to see if they add some more options.

White coupe LC owners.....what do you prefer?

Re the CR, don't go by pics/vids alone, as they can be significantly affected by direct sunlight making the colors look washed out/off tint

I got the red interior on my convertible. I like it a lot more than the beige on the toasted caramel. I think the problem with beige is that it might look a bit too dated 10 years from now. If it was darker lIke the sc430’s saddle color, I’d probably go for it.

it does however highlight the quality of the materials used in the interior. A lighter color interior always does that.

there is enough individual variation on these hand adorned interiors so that you would best judge your prospects
in person; my caramel interior has subtle variations in texture and color that are perfectly alluring

It is like 3 different shades of caramel/tan/whatever you want to call it. I find it the least pleasing to look at.

If it were baseball glove leather (Cuoio , in the exotic world) I would have got it in a heartbeat!!!

Audi does a really nice Cuoio-colored interior.

I'm in the same boat. I will say the circuit red is better in person than in photos. I am shopping for a used LC so I'll likely end up with an older model year with Rioja Red. I recently spent time in a Touring coupe with the Caramel interior and it was too much of the same color and looked dingy in certain places even though the car only had 15k miles. I think black or red interiors will hold up better over time.

I noticed this phenomenon in vancouver too. There are just a ton of white cars.
I love a white LC, but the city is full of white Telsa 3's ... pretty much white everything.... hell my other Lexus's are all white too. I needed some color for the LC
