Lexus launches new exterior color "Nori Green Pearl"

This is a very dark pearlish green paint. Under natural light, it looks black in the shadow and metallic green under sunlight. A manly color for luxury and sports cars. It reminds me of Mitsubishi Zero fighter used in WW2.

I remember when I was growing up there were some pretty nice shades of green. The whole anti-color trend in cars has become too much. Black, grey, silver, white, and all variations of those are kind of boring. I like a black car as much as anyone else but I don't think it's the only color I want to have until I croak.

I feel the same way. Metallic exteriors are hard, serious, masculine, and authoritative, but having a shade of color can add so much character to the car. Green is bold. Blue adds flavor but doesn't offend (pictured below, TTURBOV's Cadillac in Phantom Gray). Stock Evo X exteriors Graphite Gray and Mercury Gray have shades of blue, and Phantom Black has a shade of gold/brown, but they are just so understated that are "kind of boring" like you said.

I am sure I saw this color on a Camry first.

Allow me to expand on this old thread. It appears that the Nori Green Pearl has been pleasantly popular among consumers, and now even the concept car-inspired Lexus LC is available in this green (images courtesy: Lexus) :

Hyundai's Genesis recently began to offer a Cardiff Green exterior color. It's less glass-mirror-ish than the Lexus Nori Green Pearl, but more metallic and has a hint of blue in it (photo credit: OurAutoExpert):








I have found more pictures of a Genesis roly-poly SUV in the Cardiff Green:

Lexus surely seems to like their LC500 in Nori Green Pearl. I was browsing the internet for car **** and there are many more Lexus press photos of the car in this exact color (photo credit: Lexus):

2022 model year LC500 in Nori Green Pearl:



2021 model year LC500 in Nori Green Pearl:
















2020 model year LC500 in Nori Green Pearl:





The LC500, of course, is available in more colors than just green. Below is Lexus's 2019(?)~2020(?) exterior color Structural Blue (with white and deep blue nautical-themed interior):










2018 LC500 in the exterior color Caviar:





2022 LC500 in the exterior color Cadmium Orange:


2022 LC500 in the exterior color Ultra White:


2022 LC500 in the exterior color Infrared:


2022 LC500 in the exterior color Atomic Silver:
