Is it flat? Does it have pearl characteristics? Is it cookie monster blue? Does it change colors dramatically on lighting? What comments have you got on it? Negative? Positive? I have always been a WRB fanatic and I feel like I'd be making a mistake having the opportunity to get a WRB car but at the same time I know this sounds silly but I can't stand the red stitching unless its a red or black car. So that leaves me to either hope and wait a series.blue pops up in WRB (not interested in CWP) or go with a Hyperblue.
As an aside did you ever feel somewhat shorted with the Hyperblue as opposed to the Series.Blue? Insofar as stock wheels (blacked out albeit) vs the STI wheels. STI start button vs regular. STI aero kit. Red calipers. Blue interior trim as opposed to just stitching, etc.
Sorry for the long post but I just love talking cars and with me looking to get rid of my tC to get an 86 I love talking to the community that owns them.

I loved both Pearl whites so that was my 1st color choice followed by WRB. However, I loved the interior of the HyperBlue more than anything else. The HyperBlue stitching looks amazing inside.
I'm not 100% a fan of the color simply because yes, it changes dramatically depending on light conditions. My favorite condition is when the sun is high and directly hitting the car, then the car gives off a bright, faded baby blue look. Hard to put it in words but it looks glorious and I can see it from far away.
In cloudy conditions, night or during the sunset it looks darker but not quite as dark as WRB. In the dark, the rear plate bulbs illuminate the rear fascia to the said baby blue color, and any headlight that hits it will do the same.
It's a gloss paint so there's no metallic or pearly flakes and while it would look better I don't think the car needs it because of how dynamic the paint is.
The nice thing is that the car feels and drives as every other car, whiich is what truly matters, so I don't feel as if I'm getting less of a car compared to the Series.Blue. However, my car had an amazing price so it's worth every penny considering there are only about 500 others.
