GBS vs WRB
 
Hello all, I'm about to buy a BRZ and I've narrowed it down to these two specific colors; GBS and WRB (both 2013). I was originally going to get a WRB but kinda worry that I would get sick of its color after owning several months. The GBS, on the other hand, isn't flashy as WRB but it has more depth and mature looking-ish color than a WRB IMO. I wanna ask both WRB/GBS owners out there if you guys would still choose the same blue over another blue any day. I also wanna hear a general opinion on these two as well. Thank you very much all and I'm really excited to become a legitimate member of this forum once I get myself a BRZ :)

I'm an old school Subaru guy. I wanted WRB from the start. My co-worker who has one has GBS and he loves it too. You kinda just gotta let yourself fall in love with the one you want.

GBS is my favorite color on this car. I desperately wish they would bring it back on the '18. I know they won't but I can dream :-)

I wanted a GBS when I was looking into buying them. I love the color and still do, however, they were very few and far between since it was the only year for that color. I "settled" for a WRB, but I couldn't be happier. It's definitely more of an attention grabber and turns more heads, but GBS is more rare but will likely be harder to find. The darker color will be a little more difficult to keep clean in the winter, but if you regularly wash it, or don't drive it in the winter, this isn't a problem (being in Georgia, it may not even be an issue regardless).

You can't go wrong either way.

WRB is the only color Subaru offers.

WRB 6MT but I'm biased...

GBS BRZ owners have cars that are ALMOST as good looking as Ultramarine FRS owners. Almost.

I always felt that the Ultramarine colour doesn't have enough red and yellow pigments in it.

As stated by others good luck finding a Galaxy Blue. I searched for 4 months nationwide and only came across 3 or 4.

Oh you would need to get rid of all the blue pigment for it to work.
