Default Thinking about a color change on my ES.... again

I may be getting a whole new color change to my ES once again next year, as soon as the rest of my kit arrives. I saw an IS300 the other day, it was somewhat of a red/orange color, and it caught my eye. I did a search and found it to be called "Auburn Sky". It looks a bit dark on this photo, it's much lighter and shinier in real life.



I have been also thinking about maybe a Millenium Silver or Spectra Blue... or Charcoal Gray. I don't know. I may even just respray the car the Vapor Blue that it currently is. The main thing I dislike about the Vapor Blue is that it is a very dull color, it isn't very metallic, I don't know, you just have to see it on the car.

What color do you guys recommend?

My interior is tan.
I would go black like you, but I don't think I would be able to maintain it.

i saw an es once in bright red. Man was that ugly. I know thats not the color your thinking of, but i would stay with your current color. Its very original.

I think the gray/silver, that you look you have, fits the smooth riding luxury es, rather than a sporty red (suited more for an is).
