Satin White Pearl (SWP) because it always looks clean, and this is my DD that sits in a parking lot under the high altitude New Mexico sun. Wont be as hot nor fade as much as other colors. Plus SWP is a three coat paint, whereas all others are two.
My favorite BRZ color though is WRB. |

I purchased Hot Lava, it's in the Orange family and Orange is my favorite color. I also have a Lambo Orange Super Beetle.

Went in to check out the series 10 when my local dealer got one in but couldn't convince myself I liked the color. Fell in love with the asphalt which was a 6MT. Changed my mind on transmission too. =D

Silver. I was between Silver and Asphalt. Asphalt was too dark for my taste. Even as played out as Silver is as a car color, I think it still looks great. Besides, my wife said it looked most like a race car.

Silver aka Argento. Never had a silver car before and it wouldn't have been my first pick from photos. Then again, neither was the FR-S. I was leaning towards BRZ in whatever they call the dark blue.
Saw the silver FR-S in person and was very taken by it. I think it shows off the lines better than other colors with the nuances and shading from the paint. They also had a white one in stock and that was a close second, but now glad I got Argento as there seem to be a lot more white ones on the road. Went FR-S as I decided in person I liked the look better w/o the black bar in the front (and less $ is nice!). It seems to stay relatively clean looking, which is nice and is cooler in our warm summer temps (100 or so). I would probably get the same color again. Previous cars owned: pale blue, purple, dark blue, dark green. Only problem I have is visualizing what color wheels would look best on it should I decide to change wheels at some point. |

DGM because I couldn't order it in true black.
However, having lived with it for several weeks now, I no longer view it as a compromise. It's a nicely done color that's going to be a real pain to match when the time comes... |

Honestly I think this is the only car that I feel looks good in any color it comes in (I love the Ultramarine color, and I can't stand blue on cars).
Asphalt was my first color choice; I love grey on cars, but there is a wide range of shades that grey can come in, and I rarely see it done right - usually most greys on cars look too muted or flat, but especially in a metallic paint, I think grey is stunning - although earthy tones in general tend to be my favorite colors on clothing, etc. I think that Asphalt / DGM makes the car look very sleek, and although black is my favorite color - besides being a hard color to keep looking good on a car, I like that you can still distinguish the black accents, trimming, housing, etc on Asphalt. Argento was my second choice, and I almost regretted not going with Argento after I had specified that I wanted my 2014 in Asphalt, and it was being built. Although I tend to think that silver is a bit boring / common on cars, the Argento looks fantastic; it's definitely the best silver I've seen on a car. It drove me crazy for a bit going back and forth between wanting Asphalt and Argento, and I came up with all kinds of justifications to myself as to why I'd prefer one over the other, then I remembered something a teacher I have a lot of respect for had once mentioned: "what's wrong with your first choice?" After considering that - I thought that there maybe was something to that. The first time I saw all of the colors I liked Asphalt the best; there were no reason or justifications I came up with for it - I just liked it, and maybe that should be good enough. The first time I got to see her when I went to pick her up from the dealership, I thought she was perfect - even being all dirty from the trip. Since that day it's occurred to me many times that I couldn't be happier with the color, and I'm glad that I stuck with Asphalt.Also, Batmobile |

Wrong.
A Ferrari can be red, in my opinion every other car that's not a Ferrari should not be Red. But that's just my idea. Best color for me it's Hot Lava hands down. |

I did it to pay respect to the 87 Supra Turbo I had after high school. It was pearl white with a sport roof and man do I miss it. Even if it was a little slow
oh and heavy as a truck lol.But with my pearl white FRS I feel like it lives on. Before the FRS/BRZ came out I did not feel like there was any car that could steal my heart the way the supra did. But thanks to Toyota/Subaru my love for car's is back. Oh but my favorite color if I could have any might just have to be "Laguna Seca Blue" that BMW uses on some cars. I don't even know when they first started using it but I first saw it on the E46 M3 and man I love that color. If I was offered a free paint job their is no question in my mind what color my FRS would become Anyone!! haha

"Raven" ...because I love black. And the metallic flake is sweet on a sunny day.

Black and white are always classic, and look great when they're clean and scratch free, having owned cars in both colours I know they are rarely clean and scratch free.
Take a look at any parking lot or stoplight and it will become readily apparent why I didn't buy silver or graphite. Why buy a unique car in the same gray palette as 80% of drivers? Ultramarine is a great colour, a helluva lot better looking than the overdone Subie blue. Left with Firestorm or Hot Lava, couldn't pass up the uniqueness of the orange paint, I think they've got one of the best oranges on the market to be honest. I love the Hot Lava, would choose this colour again and again. |
