Default Favorite 1st gen RX300 colorways?

My personal vehicle is Millenium Silver Metallic, But some of the favorite colors I’ve seen on the road are Mineral Green Opalescent, Blue Vapor Metallic, and White Gold Crystal. Anyone else?

I'm a big fan of the Golden Pearl on top with the Silver Metallic cladding on my '99. My daughter's is Burnished Gold Metallic on top and a darker Topaz Metallic on the cladding. I've seen very, very few blue ones over the years. It must not have been a common color in the Midwest.

Yes, I have not seen many blue ones either on the east coast. But the ones I have seen are beautiful. I also really like the pearl/silver colorway on the ‘99 models. However, I think my favorite colorway from that year was the Mineral Green with black leather interior. Even though my car is two years newer, I still envy that green color with the gold Lexus logo and the black leather seats. My tan leather with the silver/dark gray cladding seems pretty basic in comparison.

I personally like my black and had the lower panels painted black to match. Black was the only color that did not get clearcoat. I also like the blue ones and saw someone with one yesterday. I was never a big fan of the two-tone paint and loved the 99 all red paint color and also the Silversport. At some point in the future when I have enough money I want to repaint with black with aluminum flakes.
