Basically all the colors they offer except that ugly marron. Well I went with Nautical Blue Metallic, after a nice wash and wax, so nice.

Nautical Blue - I love blue, but I hear a lot of people say it's a pain to keep it looking clean

Flint Mica - everyone compliments the color. A judge at a car show asked someone where he got his paint job from...he said "a friend". I see so many people with this color though.

Silver Streak - so simple to keep looking clean, but I see way too many vehicles on the road that are silver/grey. Too plain for my tastes.

or Super White - I've seen people do some crazy (good) stuff with white. You pretty much aren't limited as much on color schemes for the wheels, interior, and lighting. I hear it's a pain to keep looking clean too...not as bad as dark colored cars though.

The blue may need more upkeep than other colors, but just get a california duster and use it in between washes and it'll look great. Works for me.

BSP is my personal fave (obviously) if I couldn't have had that, I'd have gone White.

Black or white is the way to go. Clean slate.

It might be hard to keep blue clean, but white if not kept clean as well, will have stains that might not go away. Also depends on where you live as to how dirty it's gonna get. Here in washington it rains a lot No suprise there, but my car usually stays clean. Maybe less toxic rain? But my friend in colorado(where i used to live) has a blue wrx and with the snow and more pollution its a pain to keep clean.

In the end it's up to you as to what color you like. I know I originally wanted silver, but once I saw them in person, I was like a moth to a light bulb when I saw blue. And after I saw how it was to keep it clean, I regretted not getting silver for a second, but then I realized how much I genuinley like the color and plus there are ridiculous amounts of silver cars in general around where I live.

I'd say Red, but...you know. You can always wait for the RS 2.0 to come out.
