The quality of my pictures aren't too good... It's so much like Smoky Granite Mica...

The stupid bookkeeper registered my car's color as "Gold" when wiring my registration to the dept of motor vehicles. I did have them changed to "Gray" 'cause the governments' systems have no ways of showing Mica or Truffle.

Funny, I was wondering which way we would go with the registration. I was leaning toward brown but I think Gray works as well.

It really is a tough color to describe. I emailed these pics to my wife to give her something to look forward to for the delivery on Saturday and she's all excited. She really loves the color (as do I).

I asked the dealer to change the color code. They made it "Gray"... I agreed "Brown" is better...

Just make sure you guys register with the right color code in the future.

WOW! this color seems to be confusing governments on an international scale!

mine is the same color and it was registered as "light brown", i tried complaining but they told me it was called that on the customs forms coming from the ship and they can not change it.

Picked ours up today and was looking for something that listed color. All I could find was 'beige'. That's not even close! That would be closer to the Golden Almond color or our old Savannah Mettalic. Beige?!?!?!?!? Sheesh.

Really not a big deal but thought you'd get a kick out of that.

I believe you should have no problems at all.

We can imagine what's going to happen, the officer will question the driver about its color if he gets pull-over. I believe that stupid bookkeeper already applied this "gold" tag to many of RX10 owners.

beige!!! Hope you did ask for the change already. It will be a real hassle to apply for color change with the motor vehicles dept.

I am about to pull the trigger on the 450H and order it in Truffle Mica, wonder what it would look like with black leather.

I'm sure it will look great! I would have wanted the darker interior as I'm fearful of the parchment being too light and showing every bit of dirt.

If you find one please post pics!

Yeah, the car is for my wife and she does not want the parchment (too light), but likes the Truffle Mica. I have not seen any pics.
