I haven't seen GW on an IS, but have seen it on an RX. Definitely a color to get. I was always sold on the USB, but GW is good too. I am just not a blue person. I have only ever owned one blue vehicle in my life. Most of the time I pick white or silver. I know, I am boring. But I would consider GW for sure.

^^ I am in the same boat and quite honestly, the GW has really grown on me too. I can't recall the name of the color but even the light blue (similar to GW) in the Cadillac CT-5 V Blackwing catches my eyes....

I would definitely try to check out the 2 colors in person if possible. Online photos don't really do much justice. I hated the Grecian when I first saw it on the Lexus website but was pretty surprised when I saw one at a dealer lot (fell in love and purchased the car same day). There's a lot of metal flake and shine to the color that doesn't show up well in photos.

I was fortunate to see both blues at my local dealership. They had Grecian Blue IS300 and USB2.0 IS350. Comparing them side by side it USB2.0 was the easy choice but then again this is personal preference. I'd say USB2.0 is a more universally appealing color.

so because Hondas, Toyotas, and other GM vehicles use the color black and white, they're played out? Am I understanding that correctly

^^ That is what the beauty of the world we live in, we can all pick our cars based on the colors we enjoy
There are some colors that while I find look amazing, I just can't buy because of the labor of love required to make them look amazing and there are some I just don't find appeals to my eyes. I will admit, I am a boring white car kind of guy but assume it fully

Example: I recently saw a picture of a C7 either on another forum or on Reddit. Anyway... The guy loved nardo gray so much that he repainted the car AND the wheels in it.

Contrast that to Silver Lining Metallic or Iridium, which are more average silvers. However, I will say that Iridium has a lot more metallic flake in it than most other silvers.
