Default Correct idle speeds GS300 06?

What are the average correct idle speeds when:

1) Cold start
2) Warming up
3) Coolant at normal temperature

In my garage (underground, ambient temp around 18C/65F), I've noticed that it starts, and races up to around 1500 rpm for a short bit, then settles down around 1000 and stays around there... I keep forgetting to check it after driving around for a while, though.

Seems kind of high to me.

Good to know. Seems like my car is doing what it should. It also stays around 650 or so at idle in drive after warmed up... I was mainly concerned about the 1500 start up idle, it seems kind of racey as even my 8000rpm redlining xrs didn't idle that fast at startup.
