    It really depends un the lighting, clouds, time of day. When the license bureau asked I said grey.
    I like the color and it hides dirt and dust well.

    I have seen articles that says it does but I'm not convinced. I asked my salesman and he wasn't sure.
    I know white doesn't get clear and since this is not metallic maybe it doesn't?
    I'd like to know too.

    Lunar has a clear coat. It can appear very different, depending on the lighting

    That's a damn fine color - one of the best Toyota has ever done. Too bad I couldn't find a manual like that.

    I would think so. LR almost looks like super white to me. I wouldn't even compare it to silver, it's definitely more gray than white.

    Ford's description of the color Cactus Gray seems more fitting than Lunar Rock. I guess the moon has a greenish hue to it at times.

    (The way it should be!) ;)

    don’t know on the clear coat…

    I have an LR… and it is sometimes hard to tell cement apart from it in the wild…

    and sometimes not…

    Like many have said - it depends on the lighting. In CO, the DMV called it light green
