Leave it the stock midnight blue, that isn't an often found color. Besides unless you plan on doing a full color change it isn't worth changing the color

goto the dealership and ask if they have a starfire pearl and try to see it in motion, especially around sunset. it's white, with deeeeeeeeep pearl and a tint of awesomeness IMO.

everyone has a black car, keep it blue, rare and luxurious plus you'll save money by not changing the color, use the saved money on other mods you have in mind

Keep it dark. Midnight blue with the black coat sounds money.

That's such a rare color, it would be a shame to repaint it a "normal" color like black or white (yawn).

I might add a bit of pearl or flake, but I think it's hard to beat that stock Lexus blue. If you wanted to mix it up a bit you could paint the center section of the roof a subtle contrasting color, like charcoal...

BLUE gets my vote.
