WRB is actually one of the most common colors for the BRZ. The rarest BRZ color is in fact GBS, as it was only made on the 2013s; Ultramarine is Scion-exclusive now.

We don't get a ton of snow around here, but I drive mine year-round. I swap winter wheels (my OEM wheels with Wintersport M3) on in November and then back off again in March.

Engine braking is very significant in the lower gears (1-2). I generally just downshift to slow down and only apply the brakes in 1st.
