People concerned about rock chips need to remember that the rest of the car, besides the bumper, will be silver underneeth the paint, which stands out more on a dark color. In general darker colors are much harder to maintain.

My Legacy was DGM, which is the same as Asphalt and I liked it. It didn't show dirt and was a great non "flashy" color

I definitely like the white on my BRZ more. Its a nice subtle pearl and I think the dullness to it will make door dings and other imperfections not stand out as much over the years.

However, this white is a 3-stage paint and will be more difficult for a body shop to match as well as be more expensive to repair.

Even my touch up paint cost more than the rest of the color line, because it came in two bottles.


In the end its pretty subjective.
