Ultramarine vs. Raven vs. Asphalt

[h8meh8ers]

i appreciate all the responses. i feel like i'm leaning towards black. it just looks meaner. i think i like raven just because i haven't actually seen one yet, so it's still kind of a mystery.

When I bought mine I was looking for the ultramarine, and then saw the raven and instantly knew it was the one! That being said they, they look awesome in any color!

What I told both Toyota and Subaru dealerships I can deal with any color except red, black, and auto. They both had cars coming in that month that said. So then I ask, who is calling me first then? Toyota did. Ultramarine here and never looked back. This car looks great in any color - just choose the one that will irritate you less.

I think Red and Ultramarine makes the car look like a womans ride

Whiteout lol

My first choice was Ultramarine, because I wanted my Celica in that color.
My second choice was Whiteout, because my Celica ended up being that color and I was already missing her.
Asphalt was my third choice, because it's not quite black and it's subtle enough to not be stand-out-flashy, but enough to be eye catching and invite second looks.

My dealer was getting nothing but Firestorms and Argentos for a while, but they let me peek at the incoming shipment lists to see the specs on the two 'black' ones that were incoming. Guy almost freaked out when I told him he'd ordered dark grey ones instead of the Ravens he should have ordered, but I told him I'd drop by to see them when they came in. I'd seen Ultramarines and Whiteouts in person already but not Asphalt, and I was ready to be disappointed and continue waiting.

When I stopped by a week later they'd just finished dressing the second one for the showroom. The first one was going to be their AT test driver but someone'd bought it earlier that day. They pulled her out front for me to see before slotting her into the showroom.

Fifteen minutes later I was signing papers while they scrambled to dress a new showroom car.

To really appreciate Asphalt, you really have to see the color in person. Walk around her from a few paces back and see how the light catches her, how she shows you a new face from every angle. Get up close and see how the metallic flake sparkles just under the surface. It's kind of a neutral color - it picks up a shade of whatever ambient light is around but at the same time subtly enhances the body lines because you can really see where the different shades of light show up on her curves.

I still think Ultramarine is an absolutely beautiful color and Whiteout gives that super clean look, but I was caught off guard at Asphalt's appeal and I don't regret it at all.

since i like raven too much to share i would recommend one of the other colors. Ultramarine is pretty rare for the frs. but asphalt looks pretty fantastic.

a down side to raven is how bad imperfections appear. the stupid grunts at my dealer wiped it with a bad towel after my service trip and now the hood is all swirled and even 2 light scratches. very noticeable in the sun

In stock form, Ultramarine would be my 3rd pick. But when black wheels and/or aero are added, they look most sinister on Ultramarine.

So why don't you just call these colours, black, grey and blue . . . ? Isn't it just easier or is it just me . . ?

Of the three you are thinking, I'd personally choose Asphalt.

Ultramarine was the first color I ever saw this car in and I thought it looked fantastic (I didn't expect to like it at all - dark blue isn't my favorite color).

Black is what it is. It does look sharp - if you're someone that likes detailing your ride every three days.

I like the depth of Asphalt most of all.

I wound up with a White-out which I love. I was originally holding out for Argento - I did NOT want another white car. But once I saw the White-out in person I was hooked. Again, it's the depth of the paint that really makes the difference.

I chose ultramarine cuz I like blue cars. Ultramarine isn't my favorite blue though. I would've preferred WRB on the BRZ if it wasn't so hard to get one. I saw asphalt once in person and was impressed by it. Whiteout and asphalt probably would've been my #2 picks.
