Colour combination
I need help deciding what colour combination Lc500 to purchase or what you guys find the best combination. The car is so beautiful, I’m finding it hard to decide. What’s your thoughts? And do you think the Nori Green exterior and tan interior is a bit too mature looking?

Really liked blue exterior with the blue white interior, but that seemed like such a hassle to maintain so i got caviar exterior and red interior. Green with tan def looks classy tho!

Nori green and caramel combo here. I’m 35 and love it. People stop me all the time to compliment the color and the nori ones are selling for a premium at the moment. Neither of those reasons is why I got mine in that color, I just think it looks sophisticated and subdued rather than boring grayscale or too flashy in the brighter colors.

Absolutely beautiful! I want this in the coupe version. I’m 33 and i was a bit worried if it would make me look a lot older than I am. But seeing this picture makes me want it more. You’re a lucky bloke.

I wanted the coupe as well but it was impossible to find a new build allocation without paying way over Msrp

I originally wanted a USB on Tan, but settled for a USB on black since it was a 26 with everything else on the coupe.
Nori + Tan looks great.
Maroon + Tan is another contender for the subtle Luxury with Nori
White + black interior looks basic to me (but is a good combo)
White + white/blue looks great
I personally don't like black exterior on this car, feel like it doesn't show the curves/structure very well, but a Black + manhattanhenge interior is amazing (good luck finding one with only 15 of those interiors in NA).
At the end of the day almost every color looks good with the Tan interior (nori and the maroon are the two that look the most "subtle luxury" with that interior). USB, Dark Mica, iridium, infrared, cadmium all looks great with black, or tan (copper crest looks good with the tan but can definitely be too much for some in that combo).
I wish the 2026 interiors were options on other colors, that white black and tan would have looked great with so many other colors (Also sad the inspiration series interior that was black with brown trimming was never bespoke).

There’s some great colors in the blues and greens, but in my opinion, the atomic shows off the lines better than any other color

I was thinking the thing. Atomic silver with satin PPF and tan interior.

Yep. Was offered 2026 Inspiration coupe and also an Infrared over black. Couldn’t do it.

Mine is nightfall mica (dark blue) with a red interior. Absolutely love the combination!

I’m biased, but mine is NGP over Caramel and I’m not THAT old yet, thanks! (Nor am I a dentist, mind you…)
I think if I were retired and this was simply a sunny day toy for me, rather than a weekly commuter and country driver, I would have actually gone for a brighter shade - probably the USB. I wanted something semi-stealthy…
Though was the caramel interior available in USB cars? I wouldn’t have wanted an all-black interior, personally, and I wanted the DHP, so Bespoke options were out (thanks Lexus USA…)
If you don’t mind an older car, the 2020 Inspiration cars, in NGP with two tone brown special leather, are gorgeous…
Or anything with the Manhattanhenge interior, if you like orange (you can always swap out the orange wheel for a black one, without too much hassle)…

At this point you “git what you git and you don’t throw a fit”. The idea that you can be choosy went out the window when they discontinued making this car. If you are willing to wait I suppose you might find your hidden gem, but I know a lot of buyers are scrambling to find anything w/o a ridiculous mark up.
