I think blue is your best bet. I don't know if you can pull it off, but if you do, it could be incredible.

Here's a suggestion...STOP YELLING! LOL

What magazine covers are u specifically trying to get on? I'm guessing something like Import Tuner or Super Street? I'm pretty sure if people out there knew about VIP style and what it is, you would have a chance at getting on a cover while keeping your car the way it is...however, that's not the case since very few people out there know about VIP. Most of the cars I've seen on the covers of mags are more along the lines of the ricer crowd, and I don't think it would be worth it to paint your car with a color that would stand out just to get on a cover....just my $.02.

White base with blue pearl? I dunno... I've always loved that colour but I dunno how it'd look like on an LS400.

magazines will put a black car on the cover if the car is sick enough and the paint is clean...

Blueish Silver. There are plenty of silver VIP cars. Looking in the mags and websites these can look just as classy as black/white cars...

The color i'm thinking of is similar to the silver offered on the 94 onwards SC, but with more blue (almost a baby blue)

Default VIP color

Dark cherry red (sometimes called Blackberry) is a classic VIP color....not the usual burgundy that everybody offers. It heats up fast in the summer sun, and can show a lot of dust, fingerprints, etc... but it's just gorgeous when the sun hits it and you get a good shot. I had a Saturn years ago with that color and the dark purple-red was just awsome when the light hit it.
