What color do Lexus cars come in?
Lexus cars come in a broad spectrum of colors, including solid, metallic, and pearl finishes. The exact palette varies by model, year, and market.
In this guide, we break down the main color categories, highlight common options, and explain how to check the current selections for a specific model and location.
Color types in the Lexus lineup
Lexus organizes its paint choices into solid colors and more premium finishes. Solid colors are single-coat hues, while metallic and pearl finishes add depth, shimmer, and a sense of glow through specialized pigments. Availability can change from year to year and between regions, so it’s best to verify with a dealer or the official configurator for a given model.
Solid color options
Below are common solid color options that appear across many Lexus models. Exact availability may vary by model and market.
- White
- Black
- Gray
- Silver
- Blue
- Red
Solid colors provide straightforward choices and usually form the base layer in a model’s color lineup. The final set of solid options can differ by year, trim, and region.
Metallic and pearl finishes
Most Lexus models offer metallic or pearl (pearl-effect) finishes that incorporate reflective pigments to create depth and shine. These finishes often carry distinct paint names and may be offered as upgrade options or on higher trims. Exact colors and availability depend on the model year and market.
Region-specific and model-specific colors
In addition to the general solid and premium finishes, some markets and limited-production or sport-oriented trims have exclusive or limited-time colors. The availability of these hues is tied to regional marketing decisions, calendar year, and model family, meaning not every color appears on every car.
How to verify current options
The most reliable way to know the exact color choices for a given Lexus model is to use the official Lexus configurator on the Lexus website, or to contact a local Lexus dealer. Dealers can show swatches and order books for specific trims, while the configurator lets you preview colors on your chosen model and, in many cases, compare solid versus premium finishes.
Summary
Lexus offers a wide and evolving color palette that includes solid hues as well as metallic and pearl finishes. Availability is model- and region-dependent, so checking the official configurator or speaking with a dealer is the best way to confirm which colors are offered for a particular car and trim level. In practice, you can expect a mix of white, black, gray, silver, blue, and red in solid form, with richer premium finishes adding depth and glow across many models.
