^^ I like the blue-ish color in that pic.

However the one pic of a real life sedan looks like the same color as on my wife's 2015 legacy..and while it looks good i don't feel like paying more for it and a few badges.

I was kinda hoping for like orange or purple aka Plasma Blue Pearl.

BUT I wanna see it in person how this blue looks

Ya there is almost no point in looking at colours in pictures. I wasn't at all sold on the light blue until I saw Veolist's car in real life. It makes a massive difference when you can see how the light interacts when you change angles, how the interior and trim contrast with the paint and of course what the real colour (that has not been altered by a screen) looks like. Once all those things are considered the hyper blue is actually really nice.

It does look a little plain, but it appears to really lighten up under bright lights. Not sure what is going on in the press shots. They look drab.

That orange on a BRZ would look

I know this sounds silly, but I was hoping for some sweet exclusive silver PP wheels on the 50th BRZ. It'd be like Series.Yellow all over again.

I agree. On screen I found the HyperBlue to be just ok. I saw one a couple weeks ago in the wild and that color really pops!

I would have preferred it if they just put a big american flag on it, personally.

In my opinion, the color is just weird and made more for a 90s Camry.

There's literally that exact car parked down the street from my condo lately. Exact year and color!

RIP, Garfield...

But yeah, after wrapping my fiance's '18 WRX to match her totaled '13, we're probably going to do the BRZ next.

I found this one awhile ago and fell in love with everything by the fenders:

Oh I do agree that, need to see it in person to actually understand the true color. A lot of photos posted online have totally different colors. That’s why I’m hoping SOA will send me one lol

Joke a side. Look at this. Official SOA photo looks so dark.

While someone look photo at Chicago Auto Show. It looks a lot lighter

I’ll wait & see how it looks in person... but still, I’m kinda bummed at the color. They should of went a bit more unique.

It looks nothing like the Chicago Auto Show. That image from the Chicago Auto Show is going to set up a lot of people (who aren’t already) for disappointment.

SOA’s official image is too dark.

It’s 93% close to Mazda’s Bluish/Green color from 2011 Mazda3’s.
