I notice that you spell it "colour", then I noticed that you were in Ontario. The chart that I made is only for US colors. Are the advertisements in Canada or the US?

I'm in Canada, & the paint on my SC430 is called "Midnight Cherry" here, which is exactly the same paint as "Twilight Amethyst Pearl" in the U.S.

I have never heard of a "Black Cherry" paint for the SC430, but maybe they just got it wrong, & is actually referring to the "Midnight Cherry", the official name for the paint ?

Yes the car looks as if it's a black car under the shade, it's a very dark purple.

2009 information was just emailed to me. All colors stay the same as 2008 except for the deletion of Twilight Amethyst.

2010 colors have been announced. All colors remain the same, with the exception of Costa Azul Mica replacing Tigereye Mica. Here is a photo of Costa Azul Mica on the LX570.

I know it's best to remain silent unless you have something good to say, but I can't do it. I REALLY don't like that color.
