Definitely white. It goes better with the sheep in the backgrounds.

I love the blue color on this car. Depending on the sun's rays, if it is cloudy or not the car takes on so many different shades of blue. It really brings out the lines of the car. That was the only color I really wanted. Otherwise I would have went with Raven.

Black is a bitch to keep clean. That's all I have to say about that.

If it is really a close toss-up between them, then I would ask yourself first if you're going to mod the car, and then try to get an idea of what you'd like to do or achieve cosmetically. Some things will look fantastic and tasteful (e.g. black roof wrap) on certain colors, while they can come out looking tacky or over-done on others.
Just a thought, though - my other recommendation would be to not worry about rationalizing it and just go with your first color choice you wanted or imaged having your car in. Often our first choice is genuine and sincere because we pick it for no other reaosn than we like it - and then we start to rationalize things (well it also looks good in that color, and that color is easier to keep clean, that color gets more attention, etc). I was super conflicted between two colors after I had already put a deposit down on mine because I started over-thinking it, and ended up just sticking with my first choice and I've got no regrets! |

Like ammunition just mentikned go with your first color choice although washing can be a prob on it youll love it after its clean. Also in my opinion red and white are the cleansst i own a whiteout and its the easiest car to maintain clean ive owned but buy what u desire and be happy

I'm having trouble finding a good color combination for my silver BRZ. Other than gloss black parts and maybe some red, I feel like anything else will look too tacky...
Any suggestions? |

Whiteout/SWP
PROs: - Looks clean, and sharp all the time unless really dirty - Being discontinued, so it will become a little more rare CONs: - Everyone else and their mother also knows this colour is the best, hence it is one of the most common colors - A real bitch to paint match |

When I got mine, the colors that were out of consideration were black, orange, and red. I actually really liked Ultramarine in photos and the one I had briefly seen on the road. My area gets hot in the summer though and I already have a dark car (green), so I was shying away from the dark blue a bit.
When I got to the dealer to check it out, they had Whiteout and Argento. I really liked the Whiteout, but it was an auto and I wanted manual. When I saw the silver, I was very impressed at how well it shows off the lines of the car. So, Argento is what I went with. Since then I've been glad I didn't get Whiteout (too common, hard to paint if needed). I really like the silver, it does hide the dirt well - I'm often surprised when I wash it just how dirty it is. When I got aftermarket wheels, it was matte gunmetal and they look fantastic with the body color. Last edited by cycleboy; 07-03-2014 at 12:05 AM. |

I'm generally not a fan of red cars, but when I went to check out my FR-S at the dealer... man, this car looks amazing in red! Like everyone has said, it looks good in any color though. The red really stands out, which is a good thing if you like to be see... but a bad thing because it makes you more visible to police as well. haha
I'd say check some out to see how the colors look in person, it's definitely a different view than just looking online. Good luck!

If you get red, a lot more people will say it looks like a Ferrari, or even mistake it for one.
