Pretty sure they are the same -- my FR-S touch up paint uses a Subaru paint code. C7P = Firestorm

Yep the same. All the colours except for the exclusives are the same. Just different names.

Yes, I'd also say they are the same... I've seen them both in person and used to own a '13 Firestorm FR-S.

Btw, nice choice of color as well.

Ok colour I guess since it is just a less yellow tint of the best one!
The GT86s are also the same colours but again with different names.
Can you imagine having to change over a paint line for 3 slightly different shades of red all the time?!

People may rag on Scion, but one of my favorite things about the FR-S is the color names. Paint names are so boring with cars. I love that the Scion colors aren't typical car color names.

For sure!
Checkout the UK colour names!

I can only imagine.

Off topic, but Hot Lava is actually one of my top colors, and I like the exclusivity. It looks stunning in this image with all the TRD bits:

Oh and for you guys with Raven the car is actually pretty dirty in that pic!

Exactly. Looks great in the sunlight.

Moderators are still awake... (Either that or you've maxed out the number of times you can post that pic, lol). :D

Could be maxed (before anybody "helpfully" says anything I know you can't max and Tex is joking) . I really should take another! Just like the highlights in that one so much!
