Lava isn't all that bright except in the right sunlight. Unless there is direct light it can look more brown then anything. That is how mine spends most of the winter looking. Even the pearl can't make it glow then.
I really like the yellow in pictures but in real life it is just kind of meh. It is just sort of there with no real pop to it.
I like the hyper in pics but will reserve full judgment until I see one in person (if that ever even happens around here)

Lava is brighter than my car (DGM) lol I used to have Sedona Red Pearl Impreza and in the bright sunny day, it kinda looks like Hot Lava... but in the winter time, it turn into red, so I know what you mean.

I've seen all 3 in person. All 3 are bright...er than other color options. But lets face it, it's subie painting it. Due to crappy quality paint, it's not that bright.

problem is im having hard time which color I should go for
I honestly like the whiteout(halo) best but I don't want my car to be the same color that every people already had
I kinda wanna be unique and be in center of attention whenever I'm driving on the road ( yes, im attention seeker lol )
color would be either one of these three: argento,hot lava and ultramarine
please help me decide

LOL ok so here's my thing:

GET WHAT YOU WANT!

Here's how I looked at colours and made up my mind before choosing:

Blue: Subaru's everywhere have it. I like colour but I cant look at it for too long. Gets tiring. Also, annoys me... no idea why?

Red: Looks too much like a female car and it gets tiring to stare at. It stands out too much. My self esteem couldnt handle all the attention.

Lava: If whiteout was not available i'd go lava. It has a distinctive look and glare that makes it beautiful. I used to hate lava but now cant get tired of it. Beautiful colour!

Black: Hard to keep clean or look clean because it always seems dirty. I live in dusty area and that would make it worse. Also, too many black cars who are wannabe racers here i'd probably get throw in with them if they get pulled over.

Grey/argento etc..: Colour is similar to black in my eyes. I don't like the colour mostly because it makes me think of cheap plastic. I decided against this colour because of that. I know. Lame.

Halo: I dig it, but it has a distinctive shine of blue to it that my eye didnt seem to enjoy.

Whiteout: The pearl colour was my main reason for choosing it. I always liked pearl. Makes anything look fancy. Ugly bmw? No problem, paint it pearl. Ugly wife? Pearl it is!

Banana: I dont like looking like Donkey Kong lol I like to look at them but not for me for DD.

I also chose white because I've owned over 5 other white cars. It's just in my taste. I feel fancy with white. It completes me. I've seen over 4 whites or 5 in total and wouldnt care if every car I see is white. BTW most cars in the world are white...lol Mostly Blue twins in my part of the state nowadays though.


Personally I see more red, blue and black than any other colours. Make yours stand out by giving it a good wax and polish. Guaranteed it'll stand out.

Speaking of purple. I really really REALLY wish Subaru made PBP for our car. I would totally trade my car to get that color

Some may not know what PBP (Plasma Blue Pearl) looks like. Here you go

If they had that the choice would have been very difficult for me.

Not a fan of blue, but this is only blue/purple I'll gladly buy.

Yeah... currently Subaru side is missing one color, so why not, correction. If they bring it in and I trade in my car, I'll be in more debt again... O'well YOLO lol

White was my 1st choice but since a buddy picked up a white BRZthat option was done. I wanted a light color car since it can hide the dirt better but silver (to common around here ) was out for me. Ended up finding a series 10. It's silver but when placed next to a silver FR-S you can see the difference.

A female car? As in the car is a female or the owner is a female? Tiring to stare at? You are missing out.

That series 10 silver/blue is actually really sweet in the right lighting.
