I'd find a dealer that has both GBS and SWP. Have them park it next to each and it'll help make your decision easier.

Here's mine and @pmccut at the car wash. I'm biased towards white but he's thrilled that GBS is leading the poll.

Either way you can't go wrong

GBS is Sexy. But on a completely off-topic note, I'm going with WRB

I was in the same boat and then decided that Silver was for me. Good luck! The BRZ looks great in all colors, so you really cannot go wrong.

GBS is second only to WRB for me. White is somewhere near the bottom. Just too boring unless you are a white car fan. Errr...a fan of white cars.

Also, having owned only gray cars, how are blue or white cars for the 'lazy people' that don't need to clean the car daily?

I had this exact same dilemma when I made my choice. I went with GBS and would do it over 100 times in a row if I could. I didn't know this when I picked the color, but it's amazing how much it changes given different lighting. It's such a dynamic color that you will likely never be bored of it. Also, Pacific Ocean.

Good luck!

The ones from factory look yellow compared to the HID's and dont really match the HID's well. his are definitely white and look like a better match to the HID's.
