Default Atomic Silver or Eminent White

I’m trading my 16 Caviar RX in as soon as my dealer finds a Luxury with black interior.
I just can’t decide between the two colors.
Any thoughts out there?

Thanks. I didn’t know that about the paint difference
I was was all set on the white, then today I saw a atomic silver Fsport.
Wow. Can’t describe how beautiful it was.

I had the same problem deciding. On the day I placed a factory order, I was leaning towards Atomic silver. When I arrived at the dealership, it was a bright sunny morning and after looking at both colors, I chose the White pearl.
Whatever color you choose, you will not be disappointed.

Both look great on the RX. My deciding factor however would be atomic silver is so unusual and hard to describe the color. It looks different under different light conditions.

Default Hard choice but...

I was in the same boat and ended up going with Atomic Silver, which is not only beautiful but also one of those recognizable “Lexus colors”

We had the same preferences when we bought our RX - so much so, that we asked the dealer to park them next to each other and at that point, the white still seemed to stand out as the winner (for us of course) - it's all subjective.

Agree with the atomic silver observations mentioned so far. i was really interested in it and looked at it a lot. But long story short couldn't get it due to timing. But i observed it as "truly beautiful" in the show room, (it really caught my attention there), but in bright sun it washes out its advantage. It is truly unique IMHO. Basically looks only OK in bright sunlight and GREAT otherwise (IMHO).

My 1st choice was atomic silver with leather Black & Tan, this combo IMO has great longevity,but my wife prevailed and we got a Cashmere/parchment combo instead, lovely combo, but I wonder if later on it will still be as nice.

If you're lazy like me, Atomic Silver is great at hiding dust and dirt.
I get my car washed every 2 or 3 months.

Washing cars is not my favorite thing to do or have done. Lexus offers free car washes but their quality has declined lately - so it’s either go to a car wash or tackle it at home. I live in Houston where the temp is around 90 most of the year.
This black car seems to always be covered in dust or mud and although it’s beautiful I’m over it.
What you say makes sense. White will probably be almost as bad as the black.

I am not a big fan of the floating roofline on the RX. We chose Atomic Silver because it helps to subdue the appearance of that floating roofline.

I think they are the 16-19 luxury package wheels. They look like mine but mine are black with silver.

Thank you, and yes, they are OEM 20” with Luxury Pkg. The silver plastic inserts in the wheels are interchangeable with other colors. These are stock.
