Hello,
Does anyone know if the exterior colors for LS 460 will be any different form those of LS 430? That is, any new color besides the ones seen on Lexus website currently?
Thanks in advance.

Can

Also, I am having some difficulty even guessing what some of these colors are from the fanciful names.

There are scans of a min-brochure with color chart HERE, but only the low-res scan remains, the high-res scan in the link there seems to be gone
They are hardly good depictions of how the real paint on the car will look like, but they aren't accurate depictions even if you look at a real brochure's color chart, but it should give you some idea . . .
smoky granite mica - dark grey/charcoal
mercury metallic - plain silver
verdis mica - dark green
opaline pearl - looks like a light bluish silver
obsidian - black
golden almond metallic - gold/champagne
heirloom pearl - white
noble spine mica - maroon/ruby red
black opal - dark purplish blue (exclusive to the LS600hL)
black sapphire pearl - dark blue (not sure how much lighter than the blue onyx)
truffle mica - dark grey with a brownish hue

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. I am glad I found this forum. I'll pick up a brochure today from my dealer.
