Help me pick a BRZ color:
 

I have my color narrowed to Black, Dark Grey, Lightning Red, and WRBP. Thinking I might do a color color over a neutral color...

Let fate decide for you. Agree to take the color that is first available.

Very Oracle Matrix of you...

Me - But if you already know what color I am going to take why give me a choice at all? That means you parked that car there, purposefully, waiting for me...

Dealer - Do what you've come to do!!

The point is not to provide choice, it is simply for you to believe you have a choice in the first place.

Black and Dark Gray will be more under the radar, depending largely on how you drive, that is... Blue or Red are going to me more eye-catching, and could draw more attention. World Rally Blue is more a part of Subaru's racing history... *cue Matrix background music*

Hahaha!!

Me - But I've already made the choice, now I have to understand it!!

Dealer - I already told you sir, we don't have a color called "Trinity Black".

Mmmmmmm I might do Black. No color fading over the long years, calls less attention to itself, and makes bumper scratches harder to see. And it's the most Batman like... While WRBP is old school Batman... It will most likely come down to these two colors as they are the front runners for me.

I wanted either black or white at first, but when i was at dealer the only color was DGM. Also was the only BRZ available so i went with it :D After hearing how much better DGM is to black i feel so much better. Would be cool to catch eye in traffic like wrb red or white but it does feel like my own batmobile!

How is it better for you?

Well, it's not on your list, but everyone seems to be blown away by the color of my BRZ: Galaxy Blue. It's not as flashy as red or WR blue, but it's more dynamic than white, silver and black.

Trinity Black, lol

Galaxy Blue actually does look really good in the sun.

I personally chose dark gray (and wingless) because I like the more subdued colors and I don't like the attention on the road unless it's from a fellow enthusiast. Also, grays and earth tones look cleaner for longer vs white/black. Surprisingly, black can often look dirty more quickly because it has no inherent color; you only see reflections, and without sharp reflections, it looks dingy.

My bike on the other hand is lime green and loud. Go figure.

Blue blue blue until your blue in the face...

Black or white with the sti lip treatment has to be my favorite look by far. Only get red if know it's "you" so it doesn't look like a cry for attention.

Red is my fav color but it's such a plain non pearl non metallic one... And yes it's not subtle.

I'll list the cons I see in the colours (personal opinion):

Black: Swirlies
grey metalic: can't think of any off the top of my head
Galaxy blue (Navy): I never really liked this colour, thanks to the similarly coloured AW11 back in the day.
WRB: flashy heat score
Red: fading over the years, most noticable colour to have different colours for each panel
White: you'll notice every chip on the bumper and any dirt that is on it will show very easily. At least swirlies aren't as apparent.

What do you mean by flashy heat score? Grey metallic might be back in the table as an option.

I orginially wanted that pearl white or maybe a color with more metalic in it but when I saw the red in person I just couldn't keep my eyes off of it. It's plain and appropriate at the same time lol

Just depends on what you like and what you want ... I agonized over red, white, or grey for the longest time.

If you want to be different - go with red or silver...they are by far the most rare colors for BRZs...i see TONS of white, WRB, and blacks and a handful of dark grey and Galaxy blues...

Or if you think you might do vinyl, or change the rims or any kind of mod...i bet dark grey, black or white make for the best background for some colors that really pop :3 (I'd love to see someone do a dark grey with neon yellow/green brake calipers and decals, smoked lights, and blacked out emblems...oops topic of a different thread...)


If you want low maintenance...probably go for grey or silver... dont' see the dirt or dings as much :P


I'd say just go stare at the cars (irl if you can find one...go to a meet-up or something) and pick the one that you can't take your eyes off of and just decide if you can live with it.

(..as much as I lusted after the red one- I decided I couldn't deal with the color on a day to day basis...so I got something almost equally high maintenance :rolleyes: )

I love my Subie, so WRB was a must :)

However, mods are definitely easier to match on White/Gray/Black. I'm still kinda standoffish about red/smoked tails, or blacking out the fronts etc.

WRB leaves you with pretty much 2 options for accent colors, Gold (Classic), or Black (standard).

Thinking about WRBP at the moment. I may have to see them again in person.

Current personal popularity:

Top runners:

1. WRBP
2. Black
3. DGM

Too far behind most likely:

4. Red
5. Galaxy Blue

No Buy:

7. White
8. Silver

Crystal Black, WRB, LR over other stock colors Subaru offers. Nuff said. :evil:

I vote WRB! :)

For me it was a toss up between Red or WRB for my personal car, and since I already had a WRB STi, and have owned 8 Subarus I decided to go WRB and just adore the color. But to be honest, I don't think you could go wrong with any color! :)

Thanks,
Rick

Yeah, I would like to know what you mean by "flashy heat score."

WRB on and overcast day is gorgeous. That's what sold me on it.

Overcast? Wrb with a load of crap on it is still amazzziinng. :)

You're lucky to have the choices that you do. Canada has WRB, silver, white, and black. That's it. If Galaxy Blue isn't in the mix for you, I'd say go WRB.

I would have no issues buying a WRBP now, the others I think on for various reasons.

This is true, at night it was a cool color for other reasons too. I may just go back to this color again...

WRB is only available on the subi... There for you must get one! If WRB was available on the FR-S, I would have it :)

Here is the same car in the light.

dark grey!! cant see scratches like black. red is nice but flashy. also i find that color preference changes over the years. grey is subtle. white.... everyone has it, its gonna be the new silver in 5 years. plus if you ever want to vinyl the car, grey is perfect!

Ok, I thought about it, WRBP it is. Unless I fall in love in person with another color. If they don't have the WRBP and I am not ordering up, I may take black or grey.

Black you will be washing the car all the time, theres always going to be a mark on it. Dust, leaves, scraches for sure and most of time washing if not done right swirls. DGM is like the perfect "black"

For a catchy color i would of gone with red/subie blue.

Even though red is a really nice color, try to stay away from it. Studies have shown that red yellow and bright colored cars tend to catch the cops' attention and are more than likely to give you a spending ticket even though you are only going a little over the speeding ticket.. If you want to go for a sexy slick ride I suggest black or the gray one you like. That will definetly add 45 horsepower to your car! (; haha

I think WRB looks better when its overcast than does when in direct sunlight. Its my DD and I'm going to see in all kinds of weather. The other colors I was looking at were GBS and SWP. GBS looks best in direct sunlight and SWP looks silver anytime its not in direct sunlight. Just my opinion.

Dark Grey Metalic is petty cool in person. I saw one at the AC meet and I was like "What color is that!!! Ohhhhhh... So that's what it looks like!!!" I would like to look at that color again to see...

Still... pure black is better when clean to me.

The only thing I find about dark grey is that when it is not clean and in certain light conditions it looks kind of purple or navy (I think from the sky). I think vw has the best dark grey so far :S

WRBP? I didnt know the WRB was pearl

it's BEEN the new silver

I vote DGM or CBS

Pearl!!

WRBP!
