I couldn’t figure out where to post this but since this thread is about the 2 colors I’m most interested in, I’ll ask here.
I noticed that for 2024 NX that there is a premium paint fee of $500.00 for the Ultra White, however the Atomic Silver there is no extra charge.

I’m confused because I always thought the Atomic Silver was the more premium paint color (I heard there are more layers to the paint)
Can anyone tell me why this would be? What makes the Ultra White cost $500.00 more?

I had my heart set on the Atomic Silver but sometimes it gives off a brownish tint which I’m not crazy about.
I’ve never had a white vehicle but I really like how the white looks against the black accents and wheels.

Eminent white is the pearl (code 085). The pearl paint is a tricoat as indicated from this reddit post Lexus eminent pearl white. Does anyone know the name of the base white and if it's the same white used with Toyota? : Autobody (reddit.com)
Ultra white is also a tricoat (code 083) which is a cold white. 085 is warmer to me in sunlight Lexus Ultra White 83 (everestautomotivemarket.com)

Wife's and my two favorite colors. We have the white and a friend has the same NX 350h in atomic silver. Both are beautiful. White is easier to keep clean. I have detailed and washed both. Thing I like about the atomic silver is it is unique to Lexus. If you see atomic silver you know it is a Lexus. The other thing it changes colors depending on the lighting. Don't think you can go wrong with either..

Both colors look great, Atomic Silver sheen lasts over 10 years, and doesn't show dust as much.
