Good review this one too.

Nope. Love th car, but the colour only decrease my interest. It's like a cream white and that's gotta be one of the worst iterations of white. The only thing worse than white, is yellow, I refuse to drive a banana.

Right now, I'm liking the grey/ blue color. Not sure if it is Thunder or not. It could just be the weather messing with the camera.

My parents recently got a Venza in Coastal Gray Metallic and it looks very nice. It is a grey with a lot of blue in it - kind of reminds me of this color, but maybe a bit less blue.



Looks like Oceanic Blue



Black is... black



The white looks more like a pure white this time around



We've all seen the red.

I don't think there are any other colors. This might be it. Can't find any silvers.

Black is the sleekest looking IMO but it does show every bit of dust and spider lines in the clearcoat. Another plus is if you nick a bumper the plastic underneath is black.

White is probably lowest maintenance in terms of showing dirt or lines in the clearcoat.

My summer sports car is black and year round daily is white.

I would only buy a red Ferrari though.

I really hope that photo provides an accurate reproduction of that car's colour tone, because if it does it's currently my top choice. (It doesn't hurt that that is maybe the most flattering shot of the GR86 I have yet seen.)

Hakone green might have some appeal but it's hard to judge without seeing a mockup.

As to hiding dirt, silver does a better job of hiding dirt than white. My current car's a slightly bluish-tinted silver and it can go weeks without a wash before it's really noticeable from even 4 or 5 feet away. White cars in the winter - yeeccchhh.

Years ago a friend of mine owned a waterbed store, and the bumper pads on the edges of all the beds were either black or brown leatherette.
This guy was a bit of a clown and he had an ongoing joke with his salespeople about a lady customer who expressed that she much prefers to take it in the brown.
Before the FR-S, I actually had a brown Scion. It looked more khaki to me.
(not my actual car)

The bigger irony is that brown/black/orange/green cars turn white in the winter! Around here at any rate.

Still looks great though - that's some rad vinyl work! Tempted to try a variation of that on an 86 in Horizon 4... but I'm too lazy.
