What color is this cruiser? Thinking about buying it, but I am not totally sure I like the color. What do you all think?
What color is this?

I looked at one just like this when I was searching. The seller needed an answer for the sale in one day and wouldn't come down, so I passed. Looking back it would have been a good deal. I was unsure about the green, but I see one every once in a while and I believe it would have grown on me. It's certainly unique.

This is an 01 for sale in North Carolina. I am out of town this weekend, but I think I will go look at it next week.
I have the same color. It grows on you. Mine is a 2003LX.

See, this doesn't look as "green" as the pictures I was sent. I really like the pictures you posted. Hard to tell what a vehicle color really looks like without seeing it in person. You have encouraged me to make the drive.
If it's an 01, it's probably "Mystic Sea Opalescent"

SUMMIT CRUISERS
SILVER Star
If 01, then the Eucalyptus Mica would have to be a custom repaint. Here's a color chart: 98-06 Land Cruiser Color Chart and Photos
I'm guessing Mystic Sea Opalescent as @jLB stated with lots of green trees around reflecting into the paint.

If it's a 2001 it is Mystic Sea Opalescent. I like mine it is more green in different lighting and less so in others.
I also have this color in a 2003 LX470. It does grow on you, and it makes for a unique color.
I recall seeing a few photos of Lexus' ads that showed off this color:

It'll turn to a silver-ish color in different lighting.

Just found out the vehicle was repainted. Bummer. He says the paint was faded. Am I correct in saying only time will tell how good the paint job was?
I also have the 2005 eucalyptus mica. I shopped for quality of car, then price, and lost the color battle. It is growing on me though.
This is now a Eucalyptus Mica thread.
There's a slight metallic quality that really changes the tone of the color depending on the light that hits it.

its eucalyptus, I believe it was only on the lx, not the lc's that year.
Very rare color.
Mystic sea had mre of a greyish tone to it.

If this car hadn't been repainted I'd probably be all over it.

The ad must have been removed. It was on Craigslist and Facebook, but I can't find either ad now. It was in Matthews, NC. If you are interested in it DM me and ill send you the guys phone number.
