Default Thoughts on Black Sapphire Pearl with tan,

I came across a good deal on a 2008 blue gs350. I have never been a fan. Does anyone have any pics that could help change my mind? What are others thoughts of the blue on tan GS.
How hard is it to keep clean and swirl free

yes you are correct. i have one, but it's an '06. it's my personal favorite color, although I think the GS3 shape is also really stunning in Mercury Metallic (aka 'silver'). REally don't like white or red, if anyone cares. And they had some weird green colors like Cypress Pearl and Chardonnay Pearl that I guess were targeted for Westchester housewives or something. You never see them anyway, thank God

I thought the color in 2006 was Blue Onyx, replaced by Black Sapphire Pearl in 2007 (just like Black Onyx was replaced by Obsidian)?

Yes it is Black Sapphire Pearl.

It is a midnight blue metallic. I have the cashmere interior which is a beautiful color, but damn hard to keep clean...maybe black for me next time.

Have Deep Sea Mica (a real dark blue) with parchment color interior. The two colors offer a great contrast. This is in a GS350 AWD 2010. Exterior/Interior colors are really limited in the Lexus. Many have the black interior, which I think hides the interior features.

This is the 2010 blue - deep sea mica.

The 2006-2009 blue is called Black Sapphire Pearl and is a very dark blue. Black Sapphire Pearl is stunning.

Black sapphire pearl with tan is a great colour combination. But black sapphire pearl with gray is even better.

Check out my thread from when I first got my car. Some pics in there of my 2007 Black Sapphire Pearl GS350 w/ cashmere interior. I really wanted this color combo and specifically looked for it. Looks black at night, dark blue in daylight/sunlight.

I had an 08 GS350 in black sapphire pearl with cashmere interior which I traded in for a black/black 2010 LS460 last week. I loved the exterior/interior color combination of my GS. Be aware, though, that it shows swirl marks terribly and whenever someone so much as touches the paint with their jeans when they walk by, it will leave scratches behind. It is the most delicate paint I have ever experienced.
