My color choice of Atomic Silver is a weak link in my overall satisfaction with my purchase. Online it looked very silver, which hooked me to go see it. In real life it's 100% dependent on lighting whether it's a very sharp looking Atomic Silver or a very blah beige/champagne-ish. But I try not to let it get to me.

"Eminent White Pearl . . The color’s origins stemmed from a young Lexus paint designer who sought to capture the wintry landscape at her childhood home on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido." Now that I think about it, when viewing EWP in the sun, it does resemble the glistening of sunlit snow.

Can totally see why many "typical" ES buyers would avoid the F sport. To me, it looks way better inside and out without sacrificing the ride quality Lexus is known for.

Yep - for me, it was FSport or another car just due to aesthetics. Not sure what the other car would have been but that was five years ago.

Lexus paint really stands out in the parking lot. I didn't mind my moonbeam at first, certainly wouldn't have even been in my top 5 color choices if buying sight unseen, but now I have come to really like it, particularly after comparing to white, blue and grey ES300's. As much as I liked the blue, the moonbeam is similar to silver in that it accentuates the lines better than most colors, but I have had a couple silver cars, so I'm digging the extra color for a change. It's obviously the least sporty color so wouldn't suit an fsport, but maybe one of the most suited to the luxury.

I have the black rims on my white RAV4 and I hate them.

We have a 2022 Ultra Luxury ES350 in Eminent white pearl and I wish that they'd have offered her in Atomic Silver! That color is one of my favorites and I was a little disappointed that We couldn't order in that color. I like it just for the reasons that you mentioned (it changes shades according to the lighting and I Really like that). It's also a Very Classy color and is more of a pewter than a silver but Lexus had to name it something!

Just saw this post today, so excuse my late reply.
I wanted to put in my opinion as well, with
#1 Sunlit Green.
Lexus did this colour dirty.
The pamphlets lied. It looks like a plain old military green but this color shines brighter then a lime Green car when it's the sun.
#2 Moonbeam Beige.
I was mostly partial to it because it reminded me of my two tone 98 ES300.
But I did get to see it in person.
This one radiates classy without screaming it in your face.
I would of be super happy with either of these.
#3 by a long run, super (ultra)sonic mica 2.0
Love the sapphire blue it is but definitely screams for attention.
thank you for reading.
I am done.

My RC was "infrared" and really popped in the sunlight. After nine years I was still getting questions and compliments about the color.
(I traded it for an ES a few weeks ago, and the dealership immediately rolled it into the showroom for resale.)
It's one of the extra cost paint colors, and the last time I checked it was only available on the RC and the LC.
When parked in a lot, it made the other red cars look like they were done in primer.
I think the ultra sonic blue uses the same paint technique as the infrared, to give a deep and rich and seemingly variegated color.
