White looks great and surprisingly, doesn't show the dirt as much as you might think. IMO nothing looks better than a nicely detailed black car, and the WRX lines are particularly good for black. But black is the hardest too keep clean, especially when dust is around.
Black is a good choice if you can keep the car in a garage. If you’re parking outside, it will just drive you nuts.
My '03 WRX Sedan is midnight black, which has a dark blue metallic highlight. You can only see the blue if you are up close or if the light happens to hit it right. I would really like to see a black that has a red metallic tint....but I've never seen it before. Wonder if there are technical reasons for why this color isn't that seen on cars?

Nothing looks better in person than WRB with a clean set of BBS rims. It's the classic combo. I think black looks killer too, especially in pictures, but my last car was black and it's hard to keep clean. Sometimes, I regret not getting black, but after washing my WRB STi yesterday, it truly looks stunning. CGM would be third on my list. That color is both unique and subtle at the same time.

depends on where u live, in a snow covered area they put salt on the roads which makes a salt water solution. with hte 4 wheel drive it throughs it up and gets all over the car. the dries a white color which looks really bad on blue. after typing that u probably live in cali but o well. i love the blue but sucks ***** in these ohio winters. go blue but white if u live in a snowy area

Sunny Sacrmaneto, CA. Well for the most part. We get alot of condensation in the mornings in the winter, not to much rain at all. I plan on parking this baby in the garage, but sobalow has some very excellent points regarding the WRB, reminds me of when the Civic Si came out in Electron Blue, damn that color is sweet too...

Life's decisions
Its down CGM or Aspen white. I'm not to keen on the gold rims though, little to flashy for me. I've decided Black is to hard to take care of (since I'm kind of a bum) and there are to many WRB rex's around. As soon as the integ sells, it's off to the dealership I go and i'm going to have to decide.
