Thought I'd see if there is a consensus on the ES350 colors.
There are many new exterior colors, which are not on any other Lexus car, and without seeing them on a car I can't tell. With such limited availability, I am fearful of ordering a car color sight-unseen.
Which is your favorite exterior color:
Black Onyx
Blue onyx pearl
Crystal White
Tungsten Pearl
Smoky Granite Mica
Moon Shell Mica
Royal Ruby Metallic
Golden Almond Metallic (will this be too much gold?)
Amber Pearl
Aquamarine Pearl (will this look cheap?)

Interior:
Cashmere
Light Gray
Black

thanks!

I think black is the prettiest but I don't want to work that hard keeping it clean. I really like the light neutral colors like the moon shell mica, grey, etc. but they don't come iwth the cashmere interior and I prefer the cashmere interior. I'm anxious to buy a car but I'm passing on this first group of cars so I can see all the interior/exterior colors in person and decide which combinations I think look good. Then I'll have to find a UL car in one of those combinations. I almost bought the smokey granite w/ grey interior that was available in this first round of cars but I decided I just wanted to see all the colors before making a decision.

Does this look cheap to you ?

I think it looks pretty good on the car . . .

I think that blue looks really good in all the pictures that I've seen. It seems to make the car look more sporty rather than stodgy. I must be lazy, though, because I just want to buy a car that is dirt colored so I don't have to run it through the car wash as often.

I am torn on this. I like the blue color, but it is dark and will show dust and dirt. But how hard is it to run your car through the car wash when you fill the tank?
I also don't see any exterior color that is a tan. If you look at the www.lexus.ca (canadian) site, the Moon Shell Mica looks like a tan, but the swatch I got from the dealer it looks like a dark silver.

decided not to build the Aquamarine. I agree with LexArazzo that it is a refreshing new look just like the new LS in the signature. Color choice is personal and best made on a sunny day outside preferrably with the model you like in the colors you are interested in next to each other so you can get a quick comparison. Statistically about three colors will dominate and the rest will be small potatoes. Invariably the most popular will get discontinued....

Rock - so what color did you pick?

What the hell?? So the Aquamarine is a special order only color for the Eastern Region?? I really dont understnad Lexus sometimes. What makes them think I dont want Aquamarine?? One of the better colors IMO offered on this car.

thegoodlif

What makes you say Aquamarine is a special order for the east coast? I haven't seen anything like this anywhere?
Hey, anyone seen a picture of the Moon Shell Mica? This darn tiny color swatch looks like a slightly lighter silver than Tungsten, but does it have brown in it?
thx

GFerg

Well Rockville said "The Eastern Region decided not to build the Aquamarine". I'm taking that as it will not be an allocated color. Therefore the only way someone on the Eastcoast would be able to get this color is through special order.

GFerg

I am assuming that this is the gold. What you think??

Oh man, now I'm torn. My dealer has a Moon Shell Mica coming in with the options I want. Was considering putting a deposit on it. It has grey leather. The Gold one coming in has cashmere. The little tiny MSM color chip included in the brochure looks like it will be really unique and potentially fabulous color. I want a lighter color too. But it's a really tiny color chip!

Help! Somebody post some pics of the this car in MSM. Or should I just go ahead and put a refundable deposit on it?

Magneto, I think those are the pics of the Amber Pearl (it's much darker; more brown than gold):


This is Golden Almond Metallic (light gold):

Man, doesn't anyone have a picture of the Moon Shell Mica?
