I have the Persian night pearl. I like it, with the light gray interior it looks great.

 

2nd on the color combo. My wife loves it.

 

I think both are beautiful colors to start. My experience with all of the many colors of cars I have owned/maintained is that the dark colors (Black/Red/Green/Blue) are difficult to keep the paint nice. Dirt shows quickly and hard as you can, it's nearly impossible to avoid visible swirl marks.
Lighter colors of same and brown/silver/grey tend to look cleaner longer and show the slight swirl/scratches, less.

At my age now it's time and money to maintain the cars. I have given in to a full detail by myself. I also do (INTERIOR) have trouble keeping the blond/sand/cream color interior to keep clean. Black seems simple, but I hate the heat absorbtion. The blue/greay seems the best color for me.

My current TAH is Champagne Mica and Sand(interior)
I do an annual pro Detail and it keeps up.

 

Parisian night pearl looks good on the Avalon, but Cosmic grey Mica is too dark to my taste. Imo Magnetic Grey Mica is the best looking color on the Avalon and Camry.

I have the above and put on OEM door edge guards in Parisian pearl.
They are so thin anyway it is hardly noticeable. Just wanted to "echo" the badge.

The stainless steel edge guards are well made and quite easy to put on with a rubber mallet held in your hand, don't swing it from the handle.
I wasn't given the template to align them, but you can pretty much tell where they go by the curve and shape.

 

Has anyone seen opulent amber in person? I have seen pics and in the sun it can look great. Other times it looks purple or black. Opinions?

 

See it in person.

 

I would if I could. I have yet to see a 5th gen avalon in my city. Not one. Thats why I asked for opinions from those who have seen it in person. Thx for the advice though. It never occurred to me to see it in person.lol

 

Use this website or another and find one in your area.
