So I take my lovely wife and her 2007 RX-350 Breakwater Blue Lexus to the dealership because the 2016's have finally arrived. Now we had gone on line to "build" one so we had an idea of the possible colors. We wanted to see the white and the silver, forget the Lexus adjectives they use for the colors. Upon arrival they have a silver and a white RX right out front..........first impression was the white was right off the color palate of a 1950's Frigidaire refrigerator. I opened up on of the doors looking for the ice cube tray. So then she's looking at the silver and I can see that she's not impressed with that color either. We had a few Cadillac's in the past that were Silver so that took care of the choice. The Cashmere "tan" color didn't do much for me so that was it. Living in Florida we ruled out all the dark colors and with a Crystal Red Corvette in the garage we thought we'd stay away another red car. So that's my story............I have never heard of someone looking to buy a new car and couldn't pick a color that they could live with. So...........we either want for next year to see if there is a color improvement or look at some thing else. Lexus did offer a pearl white in 2015 but must have dropped it this year. Too bad cause we very well might have bought a 2016 if that was offered.

How you can't be impressed with a 5 stage Eminent White paint job is beyond me - probably the best colour in the Lexus line up

If the white was an F sport it'll be a different white not pearl unlike the luxury version

OP - Pearl white IS available. Its called Eminent white as below :







Have you been looking at the ultra white? Thats a 3 stage paint with glass flakes, with a sort of blue hue

I guess gone are the days when my NSX was manufactured...it was a 23 stage process. But it is also amazing.

The Eminent White Pearl is a great color!

Eminent White Pearl is a great color and so is Nebula.

Eminent white and Nebula grey are (IMO) the best colors offered for the RX.

I think Atomic Silver is the best too bad it wont be available any time soon.

I think color is an area where Lexus and Toyota have always been weak. Mercedes, BMW & Audi all have sharper, more interesting and elegant colors.

On top of generally being boring, some colors they've created are downright ugly, some off thew top of my head:

Cerulean blue:



Amber pearl:

I agree Amber is atrocious but the blue would only look good if it was a hybrid.

SW17LS

My problem with that blue is the way it looks back at you in the sunlight lol

If I'm not mistaken, I think Amber Pearl was available on the ES350 only one model year. Shows what the car buying public thought of it.

SW17LS

Yup, about right. There was also a strange blue for the first year of the ES350 too you almost never see.

new Lexus colors are nice... red for instance with glass flakes... used to be pretty boring before.

This ****astic color never looked right on a Lexus. Nissan Altima maybe, but not Lexus
