I have grey, but I think the traditional Subie combo of WRB with gold wheels looks great. Both colours look great, but WRB stands out more and is a real pretty colour. Grey is more subtle and 'mature' maybe. Depends on your personality.

Dark gray advantages--
1. More of a sleeper look

2. Blue advantages
1. I don't like the sparkliness of the dark gray
2. Traditional Subie color.

If I could have it any way, I'd have chosen a gloss, non-pearl white. The dark blue oceanic looks nice but overall prefer the Subaru design.

So, does anyone have one of these two colors? Happy with your choice?
I knew that I wanted WRB and am glad that I waited for one. Based on your own response, it seems that you'd rather have WRB than Gray.

WRB with gold rims would go great with a pack of 555 smokes.

WRB
subie product needs subie color.

I think it looks off in the other colors.....I think its cuz I look at the subie face and see Subaru and I would want it to be in WRB.

I love my WRB. It was my first choice, with the CWP being my second; I had an Evo IX MR in their Wicked White and loved the color. But once I saw the WRB in person at the Pittsburgh car show that sealed the deal.

Such a great color, and I get compliments on it all the time. Just a couple of days ago I was going through the drive-thru and the lady waiting on me kept telling me how much she loved the color. Not the car, mind you, just the color!

WRB is the second best Subie color, so go for that. And then you can throw on some gold wheels for that classic look!

On the other hand, you could just wait around for a CWP.

I'll check out the WRB in person. I've already seen the gray. Prefer it over black (looks great when clean but it's a lifestyle choice more than anything), silver (too normal, but easy to live with), red.

Not a big fan of the white. Looks too much like **** juice under certain lighting.

Go for whatever speaks to you in person.
Closely examine the paint work to see how it's been cared for. Have rock chips been properly looked after? regular washes? Wax/Sealant? Swirls/scuffs?
Money can fix all of those things, but it will give you a indication of how the owner treats their car.

Check service records if available.

I Tend to favor blue paintwork. If the new neptune blue color on 19 86's was offered earlier I would have searched out that color. I ended up with a asphalt/grey 86.

I don't know if this works for you, but do what I did:

Find a few hot girls you're friends with and send them pics of each color, then be like "which one?".

That's how you'll know.

Don't do the WRB, everyone has it and you are grouped in with the WRX/VAPE crew. Dark Gray with some subtle mods is so much better looking.

This is easily the dumbest thing I have read on this forum. We have lambo door threads, rocket bunny install threads and fitment issues.... but... you win it all.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one that read that and thought it was idiotic.

Pick the color YOU like best. If you can't decide flip a coin. If the coin toss disappoints you, go against it.
