Help! Which color to choose?
Hello,
I am new to this board and have a quick question. I just put a deposit down on a White/Ivory 330, but the dealership only had black/black. Now looking at the website I think Neptune blue/gray looks gorgeous too. Being that I haven't seen either one "in person" if anyone here has I would really appreciate any opinions as to which color combination is more elegant.
Thanks!
Nikki

IMHO, I really like the colors that are painted such that the color of the car actually appears to change based on the way the sun hits it.
The most dramatic example I've seen is Black Forest Pearl. Generally, it looks like it's black, but if the sun hits it directly, it actually turns forest green! The other examples of this I've seen are Flint Mica, which appears to change shades of gray and also has colored flecks in it, and Breakwater Blue Metallic, which I've seen range from almost silver to light-to-medium blue based on the amount of sunlight.
My dealer told me that these colors are a glimpse of future, fancier paint jobs that should be available in a year or two.

Rxdriver and apwoodr thank you so much for your opinions!!!! Tex thank you sooo much for posting the pictures, you truck is beautiful!
I'm still not sure. I even like the breakwater blue with gray so I'm stumped. I have a feeling that I will probably end up staying wih the white. I've been driving to other dealerships trying to get a glimpse of the colors. White does look great but so do the blues. My honey likes black/black but I prefer a light interior.
Well I need to make a decision ASAP! I'm sure know matter what the car will be amazing, I can't wait to get it! Just another month!
Thanks everybody!

I love my Black RX330. Black is a classy color (when clean). Makes it look more of a luxury vehicle. The Lexus Emblems are more pronounced and stands out more.
I originally wanted Silver, but my wife wanted a Black Exterior with Tan Interior and I'm liking even more now.
However, the FLINT MICA (Gray) has caught my eye too. Very nice color.
