Default Lexus LS 4th-Gen Paint Codes & Media Archive



Here is the chart of color for the US-Spec LS460/LS460L from 2007-. If you see an error please post it here and I will correct the page and graphic ASAP. You can upload a photo of your car by clicking on the graphic, then clicking on the appropriate camera icon next to your color.

If you need me to update the chart please post your model year (or production date), color code and a description or photo of your car. For now this is for US-Spec cars only, I will add other countries in the future.

Great job on the color chart matrix. Hope we get the info on the actual colors soon and this'll become a sticky.

Thanks... trying to take my charts back in time to the first Toyota imported to the US in 1958!

OK, that list is:

Smoky Granite Mica (1G0)
Mercury Metallic (1F2)
Opaline Pearl (???) [Spring 2007]
Verdigris Mica (???)
Obsidian (???)
Golden Almond Metallic (???)
Heirloom Pearl (???)
Noble Spinel Mica (???)
Black Opal (???) [LS600h only]
Black Sapphire Pearl (???)
Truffle Mica (???)

Two of the colors are existing colors... but the rest all seem to be brand new colors. It's gonna take some digging to get paint codes on those!

Golden Almond Metallic is also available on the ES350, so you might want to look into that paint code as well.

I dont know about the others though. I sure someone does.

Thanks Magneto112, that helped. Golden Almond Metallic is 4T1. Now I just have eight more to nail down!

Is there somewhere on a Lexus where you can read the paint code? I want to know what color a neighbor's Lexus is, but before going over there and asking, I'd like to know where to look for the code (in case they couldn't remember the color).

Driver's side front door, open it, and on the lower side pillar beam, there is a nameplate with all sorts of information on there, including the paint code.

Look for the heading "C/TR". the first three characters after that heading should be the paint code.

On my SC430 the label is actually on the door near the latch mechanism, not the pillar. Depending on the year/model it will be one of those two places.

Default Colors

Hey guys

New to the forum.

I put a deposit down on the LS460 and choose Flint Mica. I do not see that color on the chart.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Nope, no flint mica. Closest to it would be smoky granite mica or truffle mica.

I'm hoping for a black leather / dark gray birds eye maple combo. This wasn't available for my GS

Flint Mica would be closer to Smokey Granite Mica. Truffle Mica is biased toward brown.
