Ice silver is an amazing color, I think however it looks better on the 86 than the BRZ BRZ looks great in white.

when I decided to get a BRZ in 2014, I thought for sure I was gonna get it in WRB. It's a fun car made for hooning and the blue is a color that me that makes me think nostalgically about subaru rallying. But then I saw the Satin White Pearl and I knew then I was gonna get the SWP. It just looks so classy.

With that said, I don't think the Crystal White looks as classy. It is a more pure white but not quite as interesting in my opinion.

2017 BRZ Colors

This car looks awesome in all colors. You can't go wrong with any color. Unfortunately, there can only be one at the end of the day. What you pick now may not be the same how you'll feel in 5-10 years. I remember when I originally ordered black in 2012 but switched last minute for WRB...don't get me wrong I loved the color (blue is my fav) but I kept wishing I went with a more subtle color, and one that would suit my taste now and in the long run if I were to keep the car beyond 10-15 years. So this time I played it safe and ordered white even tho silver is a VERY close second choice. Both are timeless imo. In fact I don't even think I'm making this easier but might as well let the pics speak for themselves to determine the outcome for you lol

Purer white always looked better to me.

I wonder if white is still a 30,000yen on top option in Japan.

When I bought my car I didn't even get to pick the color, just whatever was available at the time for the trim I wanted without waiting a few months (happened to pickup one of the first DGMs that came to Canada, grey to me is an early 90's JDM sports car color).

I pretty set on the white BRZ. Got to the dealership, there just so happen to be a DGM brz lying there and I instantly fell in love with it. It was absolutely gorgeous. Looks so much better irl and I'd definitely pick DGM again.

I feel like you'll grow out of white, but a dark sleek color like DGM is foreverrrrrrrrrrrr

Only bad thing about DGM/Asphalt is it's hard af to match the rims to your car. Black is usually the way to go for the other colors but it makes your car look like it has winter wheels on.

Yup white is still a premium option that cost more.

CWP is much better in BRZ, than the older SWP. It really stands out in the 2017 BRZ Colors list. Many years ago, white was just the cheapest option or for rental cars. Do you know who changed this? Apple !

Does this mean we'll start getting cars in rose gold and then they'll charge a much higher premium? Haha

There is so many so much I believe it's the most common color now for car in general and that's white cause it's good.

I think that grey color looks really nice, I vote for that one actually. But WRB is just such a nice color also
