I like Obsidian Black, its cause i have one with black leather hehehe

I prefer the white exterior with parchment (beige) interior. I'm not sure whether the aurora white pearl or starfire pearl is more appealing, as I haven't been able to see any white ones in person and the pictures on the Lexus website are too small. Other than the aurora being lighter, is there any other difference (e.g., are both metallic paint, does one have a beige tint, etc.)? Also, what interior color options are available with each?

The Aurora White Pearl is very white with a hint of light blue. Think of a white icy glacier. It's almost of that hue. Starfire Pearl is a very white pearl, but it appears more on the yellow side compared to AWP.

Starfire is available in Black, Parchment and Gray
Aurora in Black and Gray only.

I think the best colors that set the HS off are the Silver Opal Mica, Black Sapphire Pearl and of course my favorite, Starfire Pearl.

(really subjective; whatever floats your boat)

Wow you have a Prius and an HS? Which do you prefer?

IMO starfire pearl is the one of the best color choices that lexus has ever produced. it shines greatly and exudes elegance at its finest, especially for the hs. but truly, any color choice would be great for this car. ive seen every color either on the road or at car shows aside from obsidian, and i still think starfire pearl stands out among the rest.

Actually, they're very similar. I had the Prius first and was so impressed that I got the HS. The HS is obviously more luxurious, poised and comfortable. Overall though, the Prius has to take the prize. It's got better mpg, the utility of a hatchback and the solar moonroof which is an addtional bit of technology.

As we all know, neither are "driver's cars" yet the technology, mpgs, and fun-to-drive factors are what endear these cars to you.

I say go with Red and paint the grill black to 'thin down' those thick bars to bring it more in proportion of a Lexus.

I went with the Black Opal Mica. When I went into buy, I wasn't sure if I was going to buy the IS or the HS nor did I have a color in mind. In the end I went with the HS because it was different and for now not many on the road. As to color I hate rock chips etc so I felt this would show the least. As to contrast I felt the color was so different that not many would have this color and the different shades of purple, blue and black that it shows in different light. I live in AZ and many would say that a lighter color is better with our heat. My feeling is that 110deg is 110deg regardless of the color. I had the 18" wheels chromed, dark tinted windows and a clear bra installed-all by the dealership. I paid a bit more but it was easier this way and the Lexus dealership warranties on these installs was far better than going elsewhere. I hope this helps. I will get pictures posted soon, I hope!

March 10, 2010: I finally got pix posted under "2010 HS250h/Premium" thread.

Saw a premium black/black HS today in a park...clearly driving in electric mode, it was quiet lol. Younger people too..

I really don't mind it black/black.
