ok i need opnions... my 94 Emerald is looking shall we say "aged" and this isnt a pristine example i would freak about changing color, SO... Red or Bordeaux?

OEM

[Traitor_Moron]

it will be an OEM color... just not the SAME OEM color... theres sooo damn many green ones and you never see Bordeaux... Red is just fun

I like the way emerald pearl changes color in different lighting situations. Stay original.

Looks like you needed to add a third option for "same color"!

If you must go red, think about Ruby Swiss Mica or whatever it is called. There's some pictures of it around here somewhere, I think it was a OEM color in Europe. I also believe it was a OEM Imprezza color in the U.S. at some point. Very rich red.

Keep it green but paint the roof and trunk black.

Then you get a boring run of the mill 92. the Pearlies look good with the black but i like the monochromatic look of the car, if i wanted to blend in i wouldnt have purchased an SVX or two. The Emerald Pearl is OK... its just boring and annoying that Subaru couldnt decide what to call it : Polo, Emerald, Emerald Pearl, Polo Green tint Mica, Spruce Forest Green with Nature blah blah blah... we are going for shades of red here people...

Mica Ruby Pearl FTW. It looks beautiful.

Yeah, but if you paint it red you get a boring run of the mill 93. J/K

What about this colour?

[Manarius]

OEM or Polo Green!

Thanks, B3lha but im not sure Her Majesty would allow anything so common as a Subaru to have Rolls Royce paint applied to it... looks pretty close to the Bordeaux though..

Her Majesty owns at least two green Legacy wagons, though I doubt she ever uses them herself. I've seen the royal gardeners driving around Savill Garden in them. I guess the 4WD comes in handy.

The Rolls looks more like a deep dark cherry colour on my screen. That's the colour I was trying to suggest. Go with the Bordeaux if that's what you like.

I personally hate the "polo green" and "bordeaux" color. Ewww Any colors BUT those are nice. But why listen to all of us when its your car and you have to live with it?

You know my opinion:
Red with a black top. Bordeaux is too purple, polo too boring. Single colour throughout (i.e. no black top) always looks so bland to me. The black top is very characteristically SVX.
