Black pearl, or if you want chrome, I'm sure you could find a nice durable chrome paint if you look hard enough

You probably have your answer already.

However, I recently replaced my gold emblem and it looks sharp. The new front one looks far more noticeable then the existing back ones. To exemplify the emblems, I put a gold Lexus border around my license plate. Perhaps a bit ostentatious – but hey, we got a Lex for its STYLE right?
