No matter what color, the car is gorgeous!
I totally agree. In the past, I have always owned cars with muted colors. Every time I pull the cover off my infrared I’m amazed at the color. Under certain light, the color seems 3 dimensional too.

My atomic Silver 350 ES nice and never shows the dirt. But had I to do it over, I’d get platinum white. This is strictly subjective opinion stuff. No right answer except black takes more effort to look clean and nice. But it’s sure beautiful when it’s clean and shined up.

I love Mr. Magoo’s new home, I’m very jealous of the open space you have. To add to the topic discussion, I ended up with a Liquid Platinum (not my first choice) but it had the Performance Package that I wanted. I purchased it used with 3,194 miles on the odometer but saved just under $26,000 off of sticker price. I was set to purchase an Infrared with Toasted Caramel Leather interior and performance package (I think it had less than 2,000 miles on the odometer) LC500 from a Chevrolet dealership in Jacksonville, but I was too late and it was sold to an out of state buyer. My favorite color is Structural Blue but it doesn’t come with the performance package. I love the Infrared, but it didn’t work out for me. Liquid Platinum is a good color choice plus I have an easy time taking care of it. This color attracts a lot of attention (not that I’m look for a lot of attention mind you), as such, I have no buyer’s remorse.

My preference would be to have gone with the infrared. But 2 things kept me away from it.....

first: my 2012 LS is already red
second: I don't like the interior color of the infrared. That tone of caramel is just too much for me (and almost the same as in the LS)

So if you like the caramel interior, then infrared is the most beautiful.

Lexus' silver has too much of a beige reflection to my taste.
I went with white over red in the end. But it's really a matter of YOUR taste, not ours....

You should call an auto detail place and ask them what the impact of ceramic and graphene coating are on the issues you pose. You may find it doesn't make a difference with proper care.

Default Atomic silver has peks

When I got mine, I knew I didn’t want black interior, and certainly didn’t want the wheat as it is yellow not tan. So I was stuck with light gray. I was hunting the dark gray car as my last two were silver and I didn’t want a repeat. The online sales guy kept asking me about Atomic silver. I kept saying no. I finally drove to the dealer and all three were together on the lot. I was like oh wow! So I got Atomic silver. Even when it’s filthy, you really can’t tell. Unfortunately this is an insanely popular color, which I didn’t expect. I like to be on the unique side.🤣. I do love it and am glad I got it!

Swirls in the paint or a dust magnet after 1 week of not
washing.

what has your experience been with the above colors?
I have Atomic Silver and based on experience with a wide range of colors, IMHO, it's by far the easiest color to maintain!
