Cadmium orange just plain looks brown in most light. In full sun there are some orangeish highlights but nothing like what you see in most pictures. A flash brightens it up a lot.

Our first LC was Infrared and it is a special color. Some of Lexus’ colors are spectacular, but Cadmium orange is far from that. “Old man brown” would be a good name.

If you like InfraRed, gotta love the new 'Red'! It's different cause its 'Orange'. Its hot too cause its the color of the SuN.
That looks very nice but it is not the color the cars present in person.

Anybody out there with this 'old man brown' color? So what do you think? The car in this photo is actually colored 'Blazing Carnelian'. It is currently being offered
in Europe. The question at hand: Is the Orange LC in USA the same as the Orange LC in Europe? Apparently Not!

cadmium orange looks pretty orange to me:

Having said that, infrared and structural blue are IMO the best colours for this car, with orange coming in third. I ordered mine in infrared (where I am from, its called radiant red contrast layering)

both appear to have the same paint code: 4Y1

so i'd say no.

yes it's unfortunate you bought one of these beauties not long ago but don't care for the color!

i've not seen any other negative comments about the color though.

many don't want a bright bright orange either.

No doubt. Not seen gloss black factory rims. Esp with this color. Not bad at all.

Yeah I was pretty whiny yesterday about the color having less pop than I’d prefer. It’s very good quality paint, best of anything we have had short of a Bentley. People seem to like it but nothing like the reactions our Infrared coupe got.

And remember, I’m coming off a McLaren 720S spider in Papaya Spark. Sneaky as a spaceship.

Loading up for the proverbial trip to the coast in the morning, it’s about 5 hours. This car is absolutely perfect for such a trip. And won’t take very long to load 🙂

Edit: will strive for a couple of decent pics by the sea. Probably overcast tomorrow so good light.

WoW! Those look like the LS FSport wheels. Is that even possible?

the rims might be just wrapped or painted factory ones.

haha. we all like a good whine with cheese now and then.
