I have seen every color except Ultramarine in person (which is ironic since that was my first choice). I got my Firestorm back of June last year, so it was more or less a choice because "they had a car on the lot." Granted, I don't regret it, I did fall in love with the red right when I saw it.
As many have said, the car really does look AMAZING in every color. I'm really picky, so on second thought I am glad I got the Firestorm over Ultramarine because of the way the interior trim is red/orange. It would clash otherwise, but that's a personal choice (and can be modded anyways).
The colors really do look way better in person, pictures do not capture them properly. I will try to describe how I feel about each color (all favorable in their own right):
Asphalt: Really unique "almost" black color. Between the shade of color and metallic texture it looks great. It has a very subtle deep purple glimmer to it when in the right light (think grape soda). Seems like it would be a lot easier to keep looking clean than your standard jet black. Great color for when you want black but also something a little different than other cars.
Whiteout: The pearlescent texture of this white is really amazing. It's up there as one of my favorite colors, looks even sexier with the BRZ or TRD spoiler. Definitely not a "standard" white, looks more similar to the pearl color of a 350/370Z.
Raven: Black. What else more is there to say? If you want the traditional black, this is your color! As usual, a pain to keep looking clean but sexy as hell when she is!
Hot Lava: Very dynamic color depending on lighting. In direct sunlight it looks quite orange and pops. In lower light/night time it looks subdued and less vibrant (in a good way). Also a metallic color, guaranteed to make you stand out in the daytime.
Firestorm Red: The poster-child color, a very bright red. If you were to line up a "red" car from most manufacturers, the 86 would stand out still. It's a great red, especially when clean. Matches the interior trim the best as well. Think BMW's M3 red and that's pretty close.
Argento Silver: One of the more subdued colors but the curves of the car really make it look great still. Probably the easiest color to keep it looking clean as well. Not a bad color by any means, just very neutral and low-key compared to the rest of the lineup.
