In reply to DaveEstey:
This is a new red, I don't think you've seen this one in person yet. They are hitting port this week.
Probably not much different.
I loved the 2015 red, we had one, and that become one of the new rallycross cars. Almost brought a tear to my eye when it went to paint for white.
Gotcha
I still choose blue, but then again I paint all my race cars white so our tastes clearly don't overlap haha
Blue if you don't want black. I would want black.
Blue! Because I am cursed with red cars.
If you want silver, just get silver. Add some vinyl accents to customize it a bit.
Out of the colors you listed, I'd go with blue or red, probably leaning more towards blue.

I have a dark gray WRX. I originally was looking to buy a white one, but there were none available. The dark gray is ok, but realize the color might as well be road camouflage. Seriously, the car is just about the same color as many roads. That can be good and bad.
Thank gods this thread isn't about that Dosal chick. Blue.
I've seen that non-WR Blue in person, and it is very... plain. Makes it look like a normal Impreza, no "pop" at all.
I vote the Red.
I like the dark gray. But yeah, it does look like road camouflage. Just drive with headlights on when it's cloudy

Why not get what ever color you can get the best deal on and then have it wrapped in what ever color or finish you want? then change the color every couple of years to make it fresh again.
Spend a little more and you could it done in a paisley, herringbone or plaid.
Subarus should never, ever, be red.
Ever.
That representation of the DGM/Asphalt color doesn't do justice to what it looks like in real life. It actually has 5 different looks depending on lighting. In diffuse lighting it looks more of a dark flat grey, in bright sunlight a very highly metallic and mirror reflective appearance (very impressive), at sunrise a duller and cooler metallic look with a purplish hue, at sunset a duller and warmer metallic look with a reddish/golden hue, and at night its near black in appearance. Easier to keep clean than black...
I will say the WR Blue Pearl is absolutely gorgeous though...co-worker has a '15 BRZ in this color... that darker blue is even better than the original WR Blue! I'd personally want the new WR Pearl Blue color over DGM/Asphalt...

And therefore everyone has that color. I work in the Subaru community, I see a lot of them. I think it's a fantastic color, really like it. Just don't want it on my car. Prefer a less common one.
I've pulled the trigger as of a few moments ago.
So can now switch from convincing me what color to buy, to guessing which color I bought.
I loved the aspen white on swmbo's wrx

growing up my Mother used to complain about not being able to see gray cars.. she had trouble with silver too. I always thought she was full of it until I got an Edwardian Gray Saab. I had -more- near misses in that car with people just pulling out in front of me or drifting into my lane, than any car I have ever owned before. It got the point I was driving with the headlights on.
This is a very weird feeling. First brand new car purchase in my life at the age of 41.
Wife says go ahead and get what ever accessory you want for the thing.
I find all that I want are the all weather floor mats and the trunk liner.
I've really turned into an old fart.
None of the appearance things appeal to me really. Stereo options don't appeal to me. There is a factory short shift option...and I'm not even sure I want that.
Might get a pro-clip cell phone mount......whoa I'm living on the edge.
I think she just gave you permission to buy a Cobb Accessport.
