Ultra White is pure white. Eminent White is not as bright with an egg shell pearl finish. In my opinion.

Only noticeable side by side if you pay attention.

Best way to describe it is Ultra White is pure white in color. Think of an appliance white color. Eminent White has a slight touch of yellow in it. Both have some metallic flakes when looking closely.

Pics below for comparison purposes:

For the F Sport, I would go with either Caviar Black or White.

Silver is also a good choice if you want a car that looks good clean or dirty.

I think you will have almost the same feelings... no just kidding - how would I know LOL

Look at an IS F Sport which comes in Ultra White and every dealer should have one on their lot as it's a popular car/color.

The pic you have there has the triple beam lights.
Here in NY, they won't have that and will have to special order I was told 3-4 months.
Are the lights a deal breaker?

Tripple High Beams Lights HANDS DOWN! It make the car look so much expensive and aggressive in my opinion. The standard LED headlights scream Toyota Venza to me

Default Favorite Color

When it comes to colors... I like metallics.... so Silver Lining .... hands down... first, silver is one of the most forgiving colors when it comes to hiding unevitable scratches, look cleaner longer, it resist fading, and it looks down right classy always. In the case of the new FSport: it really shows off that grill nicely and provides great contrast with the black side mirrors. Wished they made the RX in the Atomic Silver or lighter shade of Gray than Nebula though.


As far as interior colors go... I'm not a fan of the red that is currently flooding everyone's basement. I stick to classic colors that will not hinder the future resale of vehicle (black is always classic and easy to keep clean, Stratus Gray is rich lookin and expensive looking. It also looks sexy AF against the black headliner and black floor carpeting ...

I totally doubt that red leather will still look hot 5 yrs later when you are going to trade it in and you bets believe the dealer will tell you that when they offer an offensively low trade allowance.

Nebula Grey would be my last color choice. Best color would be #1 white and #2 black! Most of the dealership is giving away their Nebula Grey and Silver color cars at the end of the year b/c nobody want it.

I prefer Ultra White in the F Sport. I like the light/dark contrast and especially like a lighter exterior color with a darker wheel. I suppose I'd pick Silver second for the same reason. Otherwise I think black would be nice if a person didn't care for the floating rear window look as it makes it less noticeable.

I've been thinking about going for an F Sport in Ultra White, but not sure about giving up the 3rd row and cargo space we have with our Acura MDX right now. We have a little one ready to arrive any time.

The F Sport looks pretty bland in Atomic silver. I've seen black, white, atomic silver and blue next to each other. The white stands out the most IMO.

Wish they did the F Sport in Eminent White - best white on Lexus pallette atm

Love how it goes from Ivory and has some purple/blue flakes in different light. It's like Starfire Pearl just shinier and has more flake
