A question about colour! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

WRB is the only color that Subaru needs.

I thought I might regret Lightning Red, but I don't. This color looks good even when it's dirty. I got some black dust on it a while back, and rather than make it look dirty, it accentuated the curves of the car and looked like I had covered it in some kind of black lacquer clearcoat for highlights. Having owned both black and white vehicles in the past, both look dirty all the time if you don't keep them meticulously clean. Plus they blend into their surroundings and make them difficult to see. I don't have that problem at all with the red.

I love my argento (silver) , but would have also bought white or wrb. (If scion was available in that color)

Ultramarine but it's almost as finicky as black. White is the most versatile by far.

I love wrb too but I specifically wanted minimum bells & whistles.

The Twin is my first jap car and I bought it for what it's about not so much about the baggage behind the Subaru badge.

I ran various colours in the past and fancied something different and WRB is something different especially in the UK.

That's an easy one, because it was white..

dgm is the best color imo. it catches people off guard when its out in the sun. i get so many questions about it from 'thats a custom color?' 'damn that thing must be custom paint' 'wait the paint came like that??'

I wish they made these cars in additional colors.

I'd love a dark green.

Also wish Hyper blue was already available in the 2017 model year.

Personal taste...I don't care for the WRB color.

My car is Ultramarine...quite happy with it, despite that it shows scratches easily. Also, it's dark color keeps the car warm inside, when parked, even on cool winter days with overcast skies. Not so good on hot days this color.

My other car is silver...very practical for not showing dirt, scratches, and reflects sunlight almost as well as white.

It would surely be nice if Subaru put better, harder paint on these cars. Paint currently used is just too fragile.
