Default 2018 NX Caviar or Nebula

I need to pick a color in the next week & keep going back and forth between Caviar and Nebula! Would love some input from owners

DaniK, you might try posting this over on the NX forum where it will be seen by more NX owners and drivers. Good luck.

Nebula Gray Pearl came out on 2012 (essentially replaced Smokey Granite Mica) models and was very popular up until about 2015/2016 when Atomic Silver started being more popular. Personal I'm not a fan, I seem them everywhere, and my dad got his 2012 IS350 in Nebula. I'd choose Caviar but that's just me. It looks good, even better than Stargazer Pearl from a few years ago. I don't like that Caviar has replaced several Lexus models that used to offer Obsidian. But given the choice my vote is Caviar.

Had Nebula Gray on the '13 RX F Sport and was fine but prefer it to be darker such as Smokey Granite Mica. Of course that's not offered on the NX so Caviar would be my pick.

Moved this to the NX forum for better visibility.

Thank you! I really wanted to love the Atomic, but I hated the color in this model. I’m not wild about any of the colors right now, but I do think Caviar looks sharp. Hopefully I’ll be ok with the upkeep - I typically get silver cars but didn’t like the Lexus silvers.

That's the problem...the upkeep. Caviar will show the dirt!

All people are going to see really is gray or black. only a trained eye will recognize caviar as the new lexus black. i'd still vote caviar though. =) gray does look pretty aggressive/sport though. caviar is more luxury.

My wife's 18' is caviar. I can't stand black cars. It's a nightmare to keep good looking. With that said. I do like the sparkle in the paint. The bad is that even after a wash the very next day it's dirty. It's really annoying to me. I love detailing cars btw so I know how to make it pop but regardless here in VA especially with the pollen we've had,... the car looks more yellow than black lately..lol

Our w211 is iridium silver. I'm not a fan of silver at all either but it grew on me. Now I dig it. Just know that if you go caviar you'll need to keep it clean for that sparkle to really glimmer in the sun. Today it was overcast and from far away the caviar looked like it was a shade of gray which was neat.
