What's up guys! I have a question. Is the Ultra marine the same color as the Nautical Blue Metallic on the Toyota Prius? Sorry, i never had the chance to see it in person and i am stuck between Argento and Ultra marine! And sorry, i'm using pictures off of google!Thanks in advance guys!

Not likely...it is a Subaru color. I believe they call it galaxy blue silica. I think the paint code is E8H, if that is any help. Nice color.

No, as mentioned, all of the FR-S colors besides Hot Lava are Subaru paint codes. They are not the same as any other Toyota color.

Ultramarine is E8H, which is Galaxy Blue Silica on the BRZ. IIRC, it was also used on the Legacy (and Legacy Outbacks) at some point.

If you go to this site:

Look at 8S6 (Nautical Blue) and E8H (Ultramarine). At least on my monitor, you can see that Nautical blue is just a bit darker.

If it helps your decision, I would get ultramarine over Argento. That blue just looks so nice on this car.

keep it waxed and the ultramarine shines beautifully

Ultramarine it is. I rarely see any of them in l.a. I think i've seen only 2 of them. I have the ultramarine... Since i 1st saw it last year, i didn't hesitate one min to buy that color over the other colors. I keep it waxed and shines beautifully!!

I love how they look at night. You really can't go wrong with any color they have for this car, but between the two you should get ultramarine.

Sorry for the late reply! But thank you so much guys for the input! I think i've made my decision now; Ultra marine it is!
