Silver lining; Nebula: Obsidian black.
Interior: Black with walnut.

Sidebar question: curious about views on the Noble brown interior. The gray headliner, along with the orange/red abundant stitching feel "off" to me. Looked better in stock photos. Opinions?

Always had black Lexus vehicles. I went for the Caviar as it looks so nice in the sunlight. Nebula would have been my second choice.

Best:

1. Nebula
2. Eminent White Pearl
3. Silver Lining

I agree with the post above about the Noble Brown w/red stitching interior with the light gray headliner. It just does not work. It would definitely look much better with a black headliner. I also do not understand why they just don't have the 12.3" screen standard on all their vehicles. For $460, I don't know anyone that would not want it. They should have just increased their minimum price and had it standard. I have seen so many vehicles with several options, including 20" wheels, with an 8" screen. So stupid in my opinion.

Obsidian
Caviar

Worst

I wanted to like Nobel Brown because I previously had Obsidian with Saddle Tan but as others have mentioned the brown leather, red stitching, brown dash, with the grey headliner. Hideous.

Eminent White Pearl
Silver Lining
Caviar

Cream Interior is by far the best. Noble Brown is just hideous and haven't seen a topaz brown interior yet ( Red looks nice but only in an F sport which I don't want )

I agree with favorite colors, but in different order.
1. Nebula grey (favorite color in Lexus range, good middle ground between silver and caviar grey)
2. Silver lining (looks good like in the gallery, wish they offered atomic silver though)
3. Eminent white (nice white with shimmer)

Least favorite:
1. Autumn shimmer (pretty much brown, and I hate brown cars)
2. Matador red (too bright; needs to be darker like Claret Mica from last gen)
3. Satin cashmere (never liked beige cars)

For interior colors, I wish they offered flaxen or saddle tan (from last gen); with a black headliner, those would be a nice combo with the grey sapele wood. Like others, I'm not a fan of the noble brown color combos of the seats, stitching, and headliner. Also I don't like the brown dash and trims for the parchment interior. The only interior colors I would consider in the current range are Rioja red (if F-sport; would've preferred Cabernet red instead), stratus grey with grey sapele wood (non F-sport), and black with grey sapele wood.

I should have made the Silver Lining second and Eminent White third. I have the 2016 RX350 in the Nebula and a 2015 RX350 in the Silver Lining. My 2013 GS350 was the Starfire Pearl.


Your thought process is exactly how I feel. I have yet to get a Lexus in the Atomic Silver and I do really like it. However, I would have still chosen the Nebula for the 2016 RX. Maybe the 2017 LS will be my Atomic Silver vehicle!
