Question Which color should i get?

I wanna get a LS600hL but I am confused in what color i should get. So please help me decide. I only like 3 colors.

Mercury Metallic or
Truffle Mica or
Smoky Granite Mica

Can you think of a interior color to match these interior colors?

To be honest, all of those are very plain colors.

You should go for something vibrant that'll express the LS for what it is, see if you can get a deep and dark blue or a very thick black.

For interior, if you get a deep, dark blue, get a cream or tan interior. If you get black exterior, black or red interior.

I know that's exactly how I would do it. Which ever you decide, can you please post pictures of your car when you get it? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the new LS's were hand polished removing orange peel and raising paint quality appearence. I hope that's true because I'm tired of always thinking about repainting the car with Porsche or Bentley colors.

I would go for the Smoky granite mica on black. These are the combinations for my LS460L. The SMG is a gorgeous color, which I've seen alongside deep blue and black. It is definitely my preference. Has very rich hues.

Can you take a few pictures of it?
If it's as classy as you say I might have to reevaluate my stance.

Of these I prefer the gray (Smoky Granite) by a wide margin...

Out of the 3, I like Smoky Granite the best, followed by Truffle Mica. I would be happy with both of them. I don't like silver (mercury metallic) at all, I don't think it looks that good on the LS.

But if I am going for the 600hL (which I'm probably not) myself, I would pick the Black Opal(dark purplish blue), which is an exclusively color to the 600hL, & looks great on the car too.

As for interior, I think black is the best match for Smoky Granite & Truffle Mica.

It's grey with a brownish hue (which can only be seen at certain lighting conditions)

Smoky is good. It was my first option until I saw the Verdigris Mica in person. I bought it. I vote Verdigris Mica, even though it isn't one of your poll options.

LOL...my opinion mirrors this exactly (but I dislike the Truffle Mica as much as the silver).
