Default What color is this IS?

I came across this picture of an IS 250 (probably taken in a showroom in Japan). We don't seem to have this color in the US, do we? It's probably not Breakwater Metallic.

I would say that It's either breakwater blue metallic or glacier frost mica. It's tough to tell with the lighting.

I agree it looks like breakwater blue but it could be glacier frost because that has a hint of blue in it I think. Hard to tell but leaning more toward BB. I really want to see the glacier frost in person, if it's more of a diamond white than I don't want white. Even though I'm waiting for 2nd model yr, I still don't know what color I really want.

I think it's breakwater blue with the "beige" reflection of the floor tile...Looks too blue for Glacier Frost.

You can tell the way the color almost shimmers that it is Glacier Frost. Glacier has a real blue tint when the light hits it right.

id say its breakwater. cause when glacier frost gets the blueish hue.. it's not the entire car, just the part that is being affected.

It is definitly glacier frost mica. I have seen the breakwater blue color in person, and it looks nothing like that pic! BTW: Will the shark fin antenna be ever available in the US?

The Glacier Frost I saw in pictures on both the new IS & new GS always look almost like a white car unlike the one shown in the pic above . . .

Here is a pic of the Glacier Frost Mica as posted by KeelyI300. I compared this pic (also taken in showroom) to the one I posted above and saw nothing in similar in term of color. Does anyone see any similarity?

think of the glacier frost as an off-white color, and is a mixture between crystal white, breakwater blue, and tungsten pearl. depending on the lighting, i've seen my glacier frost as pearl white, light silver/grey, and as a very light blue.

It's really funny how everyone thinks it's something different. lol

But to me the first pic looks like BB and the 2nd looks like GF.

I guess the word itself glacier is like white ice glacier you would see in anartica. So that looks like the 2nd pic more but I don't see hues of blues in that 2nd pic, would like to see it in the sun, does anyone here have this color to take pics?
