Ultramarine vs. Raven vs. Asphalt - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

h8meh8ers · 02-01-2013, 12:15 PM

i've been having a hard time deciding which color is my favorite, and since i'm planning on buying an FR-S in a few months, i'd like to finally sort it out. My top three are raven, ultramarine, and asphalt. i haven't been able to see an asphalt in person, but i've seen the other two and it's hard to decide. I was hoping some of you guys would be able to post some pictures of your cars. If anyone has a shot with all three colors that'd be great. thanks

Asphalt's the best! (might be biased

)

this was my problem when i got mine. i wanted an asphalt. second choice raven, third was ultramarine. i ended up with an ultramarine and am more than happy with my choice

I have an ultramarine and really like it.

My top choices were Ultramarine and Asphalt. I'm happy with my choice.

I have an asphalt. I love it. But then I saw an ultramarine... Car looks good in any color.

I'm am of course bias towards Asphalt.

It looks awesome in the sun during the day for sure. It can sometimes look dull in pictures and everything but it also sticks out slightly at night because of it's just not the black you expect when you get up close.

I almost went with Ultramarine, I only didn't because my last passenger car was Blue

Every car looks its sharpest in Black. Its a pain in the ass to maintain though.

I have ultramarine but raven is better if you plan on doing matching interior pieces or any kind of customrims there's just more colors that go with it rather than ultramarine. And I think the black and red interior looks better on raven than ultramarine

Ultramarine 1st, then Asphalt, then Raven. JMO.

Asphalt looks pretty awesome. I don't regret getting it over whiteout and ultramarine.

Asphalt looks way better in person. Before I got mine I thought it looked too purplish. After I saw it in person it's more of a nice dark gray that looks even better as the sun starts to go down.

I work at a Nissan dealership and all the salesman commented on how nice the paint was. Boss wasn't too happy though.

I really dont like ultramarine. Asphalt is all right, but it doesnt do well in pictures and eventually I found that I like Raven better when side by side with an Asphalt one. They are right though..its a pain to keep clean.
