Blue is the color of future!
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/16/r...re-looks-blue/
Automotive paint supplier PPG says the color of tomorrow's car is blue. According to Jane Harrington, PPG's manager of color styling, "It's one of those colors that complements vehicle shapes... It's a globally acceptable color. It doesn't have any bad connotations."
The company studies trends in fashion, interior design, and consumer products to predict the tastes of fickle consumers. PPG isn't the only company predicting more blue sheetmetal on our roads and highways. An April report by chemicals giant DuPont also predicted a resurgence in the color, adding it was influenced by ecological concepts such as the sky and water. Consumers in 2008 apparently haven't caught on to the new "blue" trend yet. So far, 20 percent of the cars sold this year have been silver ("A neutral color that works on just about any car," says Harrington). White is second (18 percent), followed by black (17 percent) and red (13 percent). Although blue may be the new green, most consumers will still stick with black, white, and silver -- core colors that are always offered on nearly every vehicle.
No credit to subaru? come'on now.

People actually get paid to come up with this? wtf
blue is my least favorite color, I like WRB Suby, but other than that I can't think of a blue colored car i really like.......or that stands out or has gotten attention.
this article seems completely off base. Retarded.

Sorry SRP is the bestest. Aspen White is to plain. But Satin White Pearl comes in a close second to Sedona Red Pearl. The depth of colors of the SRP paint is great.
