Place to post shots of this colour. Few journos have them now so cool to see them on UK roads

It looks a very nice colour under a U.K. sky , always difficult to tell from photos taken in very different climates. Can’t help but think the black alloys look “lost” in a lot of the photos, IMHO the BRZ grey alloys look far nicer 🤔

Don’t forget the human eye has a much higher dynamic range than a camera (and even more so the screen you are viewing the photo on). This means all the detail and contrast that is seen in the shadows/darker areas is lost on a picture, but it would be clearly visible in the flesh. For this reason darker cars don’t photograph as well - a lot of the reports from the US say it looks amazing in person and the pics don’t do it justice.
 
I think that this is a really nice colour. I saw a YouTube video on one and when the sun was on it, it looked amazing.

I think I'd prefer the dark grey wheels too.

I like the colour my point was the black alloys look “lost” I swapped the black 19s for stand 18s on my R so it looked as though it actually had some wheels 🤔 and that photo doesn’t “lie” the black alloys were lost to the eye .

That's a lovely colour, I was torn between the black and this one and am now regretting going for the black a little...
 
Sapphire was a close second for me, absolutely love Electric though as it gives me baby Shark Blue GT3 vibes and in some lights it looks Miami blue.
