The color choice is giving me migraines. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After test driving the absolutely breathtaking white FR-S today I'm back to being confused. I have a Black FR-S on order that I could be driving in less than 3 weeks but now I'm back to white.

The red and dark blue are also very attractive I'm sure. I wish I could see all the colors in person!

I hear you. Normally I don't care for white cars but that demo unit today looked pretty sweet! But I decided to stick with my choice of red.

It's not nearly as good as seeing them in person, but this was the shot I was always referring to when trying to decide on a colour:

Remember that shot was taken close to the "magic hour" so, for example, the Hot Lava looks more vibrant than it does under most lighting conditions in real life.

Oops, I didn't even notice that! Oh well, squint while looking at the Asphalt one.

I made it real easy. I let my 3 year old daughter pick. Blue it is.

I say go with your gut, you justified getting black for a reason. If anything, down the road years from now if black is to much hassle have it painted true white, Aspen white!!

Just my opinion.

Spent hours agonizing between White and red , was back and forth on my decision daily, finally went with red haven't looked back . Mostly.

If you can't decide just get a black one and have it wrapped in the color of the week once it arrives. Change your mind after some time? Remove the wrap or redo it in another color.
