I am really trying to pick the right color for my car. I suspect I need to start finalizing that decision. What I know I want is this.

132417

The question is what color is it? My guess is either Deep Pacific Blue or Mystic Midnight Blue (less likely) which would have been Factory Five Colors at the time... I also can’t tell if this is a metallic color or not.

I don’t this it’s the popular Lexus Indigo Blue as I believe this is a gen1 coupe so prior to that colors existence I believe.

I have some other colors in mind from Bentley but before I introduce those into the discussion what’s the thought on this?

The Lexus Indigo blue was on the factory gen 1 demonstrator if I’m not mistaking.
Think the pic you showed has that also. I saw that car at the open house a few years back. Nice ride.

To me, the Lexus Indigo Ink Pearl is more blue than black. The color on the Coupe you showed seems a lot more black from what I can see in the pictures, but it's always really hard to tell from pictures taken with varying lighting conditions.

Couldn't tell you the color, but if you're going strictly from 1 picture it would be extremely difficult to figure it out.

The colors can vary so much in different lighting, and also vary a lot depending on what camera took it, JPEG settings on the camera or if they did any post processing...

I take all my pics in raw format with a DSLR and use lightroom/photoshop for post processing. I could take my Lexus Indigo Blue car and vary the shades wildly in seconds. Or even turn it hot pink.

Has one actually painted a car either of those FFR colors?

So after researching further my dates are jumbled and those factory five colors could not have been on that car.
