coolbluelb Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Now that the colors have been formally announced, I have a question about the Satin White Pearl. Personally, I think a deep pearl white (like the Premium Pearl White seen on Acura's TSX), is one of the sharpest colors a car can get. On the contrary, a basic white (like the Taffeta White seen on Acura's MDX) is one of the most boring colors available. For those who have seen it, where does Subaru's Satin White Pearl fall on this scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 It is a true pearl white, at least what I saw in Australia. Shiny, reflective a bit, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 It's the reason I want white as my #1 choice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Nice! I want to get white as well. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimil Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 What question? There is no questions about white - It is awesome. But i'm still considering between white and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeracer Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 personally black is the best color...IMHO "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbluelb Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 I was hoping that a pewter-type color would be available. Black is out for sunny Florida weather. That leaves silver and white as possibilities for me. This choice will be determined by how good the white actually looks. I look forward to checking it out in person.

SUBE555 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 You might want to check out the Atlantique Blue or however they spell it. Looked like a happy medium but very nice from the pics I saw though I know it won't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pearls make a car have more of a cream color than white. I'm hoping it is more of a bright silvery white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotmfk Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Pearl white is the bomb! If it is a nice true pearl, it will be #1 or 2 on my list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panos Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Pictures do no justice for it. [url]http://www.legacysti.com/viewtopic.php?t=126[/url] It looks x1000 better freshly washed in person. It is a true pearl. I would have gotten the blue pearl (which is sweet) but they only had it as 2.5i and I wanted the 2.0r. Saw the white and it is increadibly sweet. White is the best colour IMHO.

waflowers Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 [quote name='coolbluelb']Black is out for sunny Florida weather.[/quote] That's what I thought until I got the '97 GT. A sunscreen in the front window, dark tint (as dark as is legal) all-round and I'm fine. If I [i]know[/i] it won't rain I'll leave the sunroof half open and the windows cracked. Even when I leave it all closed up I just open the windows and the sunroof and it is fine in 1/2 a block! Besides, black looks so BAD! :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluelb Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Responding to two posts above... In my since sold Prelude, I was able to crack the moonroof and never see drop one of rain. It made an incredible difference in temperature when getting in the car. Two, I did see some nice pics of the Atlantic Blue on an OB earlier today. I would post a link, but NASIOC seems to be down at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P2x Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 ..personally I don't really like the color (atlantic blue). It's something I'd expect retirees to like.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm far from being a retiree (at 18 years old), and I think it looks pretty good. I bet it'd look even better without the two-tone paint. I wonder how it'd look on the Legacy sedan. :?: -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluelb Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I must admit I liked the color better than I would have thought. Not enough to make it a top choice though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotmfk Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Nice, solid color. :) I would like to see it without the two tone, though. It might look a little bland, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 It's not a bad color but I'd rather have WRB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P2x Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I guess no one has any images of regal blue? The color selector at need-desire isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm between the Atlantique Blue, Silver, and Black, and they're all tantylizing. The hardest part will probably be getting the color picked. The options are the easy part. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
