Default Satin cashmere metallic color to share?

My wife picks this color, anyone own one and can share your pictures? I want to see some real life pictures instead of stock pictures from Lexus.

Thanks.

thank you so much for the prompt reply! Does it look good in real than in picture? To me this is a bit risky color to like in long run....

I'm not sure that you are going to find anything in value in looking at pictures that people post. Any pictures posted might either accurately or very inaccurately show what the color actually looks like, depending both on how accurately the white balance is adjusted on the camera used to take the pictures and the lighting conditions when the picture was taken. You can see an example of what I am saying in the two pictures in post #2. With different lighting, those two pictures make the color look like 2 completely different colors.

The only way to judge whether you really would like the color or not will be to look at the color in person and with a variety of light conditions.

I am an experienced photographer, and I know that, if I take the time to carefully adjust the white balance on the camera and if I am careful to properly expose the picture, I will end up with a picture that accurately depicts the color of a vehicle (or other subject), but, if I quickly take a snapshot and rely on the camera to automatically set the white balance and exposure, there will be a good chance that the colors in the photograph will not accurately reflect reality.

Further, if you are looking at pictures on a monitor that has not been accurately calibrated, even if the pictures were taken with proper white balance and exposure, the colors appearing on the monitor can be quite different from what they actually are.

Try Autotrader and filter for that color - their pictures are generally high quality.

it is an epoxy with heavy flakes. Silverline did it this year. I really do like it and no problems with it.
