[Dave-Ellen]

Title says it all !

What is the best colour for the new IS

Some say dark colours suit it better ...

[Gord]

I like the red, then the silver colours :winky:

[jonthebarber]

pale blue jobbie looks nice tooo

[Dave-Ellen]

few people I know say dark colours make it look smaller

[Rob's Lexx]

pearl white is the best :winky:

[A.J]

agree - the white looks excellent

[mack]

I like the arctic pearl(white).Its a rare car,more so in white.

The is220/250 has sexy dynamic lines and looks better with light colors,i.ex white pearl.

[Jerome K Jerome]

I notice in the dealers sales book that all the pictures are of a silver model (argenta ice?)

This would suggest that the designers think a lighter colour shows the lines off better

[chandru]

light is nice...doesnt show the light swirls n scratches as much either

[Monster-Mat]

white

[johnboy]

mesa red for me

[chandru]

mesa red for me

does look nice in the red too..think the worst color is the dark blue..bit too "boring"

Luckily most of the colours available look good on the new IS.

For me I have always loved Silver cars which is why my last three Lexus have been this colour I think it just looks better. And it's no mistake that all the promotional literature for Lexus shows the cars in Silver the exception to this being the new IS-F. The only downside is that 50% of Lexus cars on the road seem to be that colour.

Following that the light blue (Brechin Slate?) has really caught my attention.

Black looks great too when it is clean!

Nope....

Can get body kits pre coloured so seeing what colours to get in

Kami wants a SC430...found one (red) but price offered on the MR2 was not enough

[Parthiban]

I think that's a different question - if you're thinking of colours that will sell well, that's got to be silver, black, grey and blue before anything else :winky:

[Harrydavy]

BLACK, it's the only colour!!

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

Looks apart, if you want to "live" with a colour, stick with the lighter Metalics...

My Red looks fantastic, 16 months down the line. Close up you see all manner of scratches appearing, and the softness is a pain.

So if you're asking 'cos you are about to order one, avoid all of the darker colours (IMHO - scratchability and fashion) including the Red. Go for Gold, Silver, White or Caspain, closely followed by Brechin slate (light blue). If you want a darker colour, Start at Red....I saw loads of Pearl White and Caspain Sky abroad, and they are absolutely fantastic colours. I wish I'd gone Caspian...with a Black or Grey lether interior it looks the dogs...so bright and shiny...

PS - Merc and Audi's racing colours are silver, so they advertise these in their brochures and ad's...not sure about Lexus...

[bernie_the_bolt]

Well, I went for the Cadoxton Slate, and the first time everyone saw it, they said 'oooooh ... love the colour'

It is a pain to keep clean, but then the last car I had was black so I'm used to washing it at least once a week.

Colour is a completely subjective thing. If you think one particular colour is nice and everyone else thinks it's naff, who cares. It's your car. Get the colour you want.
