to be fair it doesnt matter what we think as its your car,paint it pink with yellow spots for all i care

wagons look good in silver or grey (dont know the colour code but its the rb5 grey) that would look good with dark rims like hyper black with red calipers etc

matt-black would look ****

Definitely rb5 grey. I don't think ice blue would suit a classic wagon. I'd also steer clear of Matt colours, but each to there own.

I just sent my car in for a coat of 74f Sonic blue Mica, Just like the 22B or late 90's WRC cars!

as much as i like blue i hate how much it shows up swirls/chips and scratches etc

I agree that it's for you to decide on the colour.

One comment I'd make though is to think about how it might affect the sale of the car if you were to get rid of it.
It's a Subaru, and I'd say that your main source of buyers would be Subaru lovers, which means they'd expect a 'Scooby colour'.

Rare colours are helpful. White hawks apparently go for a bit more, so WR1 blue (although marmite) might be OK.

(Obviously there's exceptions to the rule).

+1 for RB5 Grey...

Rb5 would look nice, I like the mica blues also but white also looks good on a scooby

Looks like rb5 is a favorite but how about a Matt bronze with gloss black wheels

looks its not some stupid trev'ed up little euro-box so stay away from ****e colours like that.

less is more these days-max power days are long gone

rb5 grey

p1 front lip

morretts could look good aswell

some decent 17" wheels-rota's are a favorite

lowered on coilovers-but not crazy low

and a big set of front brakes

this is all you will need for a smart looking impreza

Another vote for RB5 grey (paint code 86F)!

Failing that anything except sonic blue, it's been done to death.... boring!!!!

If you want a blue, how about "Reddish Blue" (Colour Code 65C) - not that I'm biased! I'm pretty sure it was a factory colour for a MY96 as well as MY97. I always think it looks very similar to the BMW M3 colour (called Estoril Blue) of a similar age:

I'd check out aqua blue, it's a Subaru colour similar to wr1 blue but nicer in my opinion. Had an Maltese import wrx in that colour a few yrs back, looked great and I never saw another impreza with the same colour!

Saw a classic just last week in WR1 ice blue, it looked bloody awful. Really not a great colour on a classic and nor is your second choice, matt black.

This is a winner.....

If your brave enough
Yellow
Classcs in yellow always look good
I think there was only a couple of wrx STi hatches in yellow in the uk and that would really turn heads

55d is Cool Grey.
86f is Steel Blue (RB5)

Steel blue mica is my favorite color for the classic, although I do like what lordharding was thinking with the canary yellow; would be a very unique approach, especially on a wagon! It's your car whatever color you choose you'll like!
