That's been my concern with the blue, it's lighter than I prefer which is why I can't decide between it and the dark gray yet. If it were in the shade shown in that pic it wouldn't even be a contest

Subaru already uses WR Blue on some of their cars correct? I think I'm going to have to see the color in person to decide if it's too light. From the pictures I love it, but if the shade is drastically lighter I may switch it up to gray like you're thinking. I know for sure I won't be getting in a red or white one.

For me it's coming down to the dark grey or that dark blue that you guys are calling blurple (the scion ultramarine). White could still make a comeback but I have to see it in person first.

Hanzo · 01-25-2012, 12:29 PM

Any more photos of the dark gray metallic?

I have to agree that Galaxy blue silica looks great, I think I'm waiting to see them all in person. And I actually like all the colors, just what's the best price deal now that will decide it for me. But I would have to say I like uniformity of Silver, I don't feel like much could go wrong with it.

Daaamn... the dark grey color does not disappoint. I think I'll prefer the dark grey over black, but that wrb is still in contention.

Along this line of thinking...does Subaru use the BRZ dark grey color on any of thier existing cars, or is this a new color for them?

Fox · 01-25-2012, 01:47 PM

Wow, i've just seen my post in the news section

I'm glad i found the grey one because for me it was my favorite colour from the beginning (altough i haven't seen one) and now i think: yes, grey would be the right choice!

Yep.

On Impreza (non WRX/STI):
Satin White Pearl
Dark Gray Metallic

On WRX/STIs:
Satin White Pearl
World Rally Blue
Dark Gray Metallic
Lightning Red

Legacy:
Satin White Pearl
Crystal Black Silica

Outback:
Satin White Pearl
Crystal Black Silica

Forester:
Satin White Pearl
Dark Gray Metallic

Tribeca:
Satin White Pearl
Crystal Black Silica

I don't think Galaxy Blue Metallic is a current US Subaru color (I saw no mention of it anyways in the brochures for the current subarus). For the silver, there is Ice Silver, but I found nothing on "Sterling Silver Metallic" either, except for a bunch of Buicks in a google image search so I'm not even sure if that color name is correct.

Digging the red, gotta say I still stuck on white though...

Not sure if this one was posted or not.

There sure are a lot of them out on the roads.

Is the one missing the spoiler?

Steve · 01-25-2012, 02:30 PM

Subaru headlights a must for grey IMO, plus I think the whole Subaru front end looks better on darker colours and vice versa for the Toyota/Scion. The sun hitting the 86 picture definitely isn't helping though, more pix plz.

It's likely a premium, only the limiteds get the spoiler.

nice find dave! I was dead set on the SWP but from that picture it looks... boring. The front grill looks to prominent and body lines look too... soft. The white makes the sharpness of the car look more.. round
