[edit] This is an experience with my WRB. I do not really like WRB when outside is very bright and or when the sun is shining directly on it. It looks lighter and washed out--think of an overexposed photo. WRB looks best on cloudy days--think of photos with controlled lighting. It gives a greater impression of depth under this condition. It commands attention because it is that single blue rose being nested with a cluster of white roses.

In my area it seems every FRS/BRZ is white or black. If I were you I'd go wit WRB.

I was torn between GBS, WRB, and SWP. For my taste, the WRB for some reason didn't do it for me and I can't really explain why, but it narrowed the choice for SWP and GBS. I have a pearl white 600rr and always wanted a deep blue car so ended up with GBS. IMO SWP looks amazing and I'm still kinda wishing I got that, but overall I think I would be happy with either color.

Do you want a classic/clean look (SWP) or a fun/sharp look (WRB)?

Consider this: WRB is a Subaru only color. White is both FR-S and a BRZ color. I don't know if you take that into consideration.

I got the blue and it is truly an amazing color in real life...no regrets x 10000.

One thing to consider; Subaru paint apparently chips easily. I had purchased a Dr. Colorchip system for hood dings, road rash. It states on the packaging that silvery metallic and light colours are the most difficult to blend/touch up.

Get either, then paint it Yellow. Win!

Seriously though, either one looks great. WRB is the Subaru trademark, as others have stated, which you may consider a plus or a negative. WRB will stick out more, if you're looking for attention. White will show dirt more.

I like WRB, but I wanted something with less attention so I went with DGM. I have no regrets, but if I had to do it all over again, I might've considered GBS as it's a nice blue, but not quite as attention drawing as WRB.

Silver - looks smoking hot on a BRZ, easy to keep looking clean, flies under the cop radar for the most part.

My first order with dealer is white, after I spot a WRB on the freeway, I go back and change it to Blue. The dealer told me that change will get me to the end of the waiting line and I still do it. Depends you like more attention then the WRB, and the white is less stand out in the traffic. I also spot a white FRS the other day, almost think that is a Genesis, need to look at it twice.

I chose WRB and I love it.

You should pick whichever color you like the most. If you like them equally then coin flip again. If you're unhappy with the outcome then go with the other option and if you're unhappy with that, then it sounds like you aren't completely satisfied with either color and you might want to consider other criteria such as whether you want to be noticed more or noticed less.

Stand out more? - Blue
Blend in? - White

If you don't care about how much you get noticed then disregard.

Either way, try to see them both in person if you can because pictures don't do them justice (I pre-ordered WRB before I saw it in person but before I bought it I saw both of those colors in person and it reaffirmed that I had made the right choice).
