Here is a link to the color on a WRX where it will also be offered but as a standard option on all trims, unfortunately it's not super bright at all, looks pretty much black unless the lighting is right.

Another swing and a miss for Subaru. Can't even do cool colors right anymore.
Ayatori@reddit
The 1st gen BRZ's Series Yellow, Hyperblue, 50th Anniversary were all such hitters. And the orange that Toyota has on the GR86 is great too.
Subaru lost all its weirdness :(
RedditIsAwful6@reddit
It's such a shame. Iconic rally car that competes with monsters via a tune, to "we haven't changed anything in 15 years", got rid of the STI, made the abomination of a VB, and can't even get a cool color going.
Fuckin burn it to the ground, Subaru is an absolute joke
JuryGhost@reddit
Wasn’t there a galaxy purple for the VA back in 2016 or something also
FruitbatNT@reddit
That's just a slightly more purple version of the always awful "Boring Navy Blue Metallic"
My disappointment is palpable
Mimical@reddit
At least it's not another "Mountain Grey" "Stoney Stone" or "IBM Keyboard Grey"
Dark blue/purple ish. At least it can pretend to have some colour.
andrewjaekim@reddit
I was excited until I saw this. It’s barely purple.
orhantemerrut@reddit
Google marketing team is taking notes for their Pixel phones as we speak.
Haacker45@reddit
Yep that is weak, I was imagining something like Plum Crazy.
stakoverflo@reddit
Absolute cowards
tharussianphil@reddit
Yea i was at least hoping for Plasma Blue Pearl from the old STI
Educational_Age_1333@reddit
It looks really similar to the dark blue that's been offered on WRX for years. Was hoping for at least like a gto purple.
PleaseDontEatMyVRAM@reddit
purple enough to fuck my insurance even more but not purple enough to look like it, great
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
When i got insurance, they never even asked for the color of my car.
wiseguy187@reddit
Because it actually doesn't matter at all.
Fiiv3s@reddit
The final gen Celica had a blue like this.
Black in most situations but dark blue under the right light
MagnumMagnets@reddit
Wow, sadly it looks like shit. Just like a navy blue metallic with barely a pinch of purple flake. Was hoping it’d be more like the Mustangs mischievous purple where it’s dark but has a vibrant pop or the BMWs Twilight Purple where it’s just straight up bright pretty purple
ledzep14@reddit
Wow that color sucks
JoyRydr@reddit
Wow that's why it's hidden in the press photo, even Subaru's marketing department knew it would be a lackluster color lol.
Summoorevincent@reddit
If you want bright purple there is Sapphire Blue Pearl.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
I wouldn't say this is bright purple...

Summoorevincent@reddit
Bright isn’t the word I guess. I have a VB in that color. Lower light it’s purple as heck but sun almost makes it world rally blue.
Astramael@reddit
Seems sweet. Love purple cars. Hopefully it’s a nice purple.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
It's not a very nice purple haha.

VanillaWinter@reddit
What a shitty purple, it’s practically blue
RunninOnMT@reddit
Ohh I’m actually into that
okglue@reddit
Yeah it's nice and subtle\~!
toilet_ipad_00022@reddit
So subtle people will confuse it for one of Subaru's most popular dark blue colors.
Astramael@reddit
Sad face. =[
WorldClassPianist@reddit
Looks more dark blue to me. This purple sucks.
optitmus@reddit
yeh thats a purple thats bad at being purple
MaryJaneAssassin@reddit
They aren’t the same.
The WRX is Royal Violet Mica and this color for the BRZ is Galaxy Purple Pearl.
astrae@reddit
04 GTO did it better
therobshow@reddit
Same. I would never buy a wrx but purple is my favorite color and I'm happy there's finally a purple movement. That purple corvettes come in this year is a sultry little number
Astramael@reddit
My long-term crush continues to be the Technoviolet E36 M3 for… similar reasons.

They'll do anything except add power to this car.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
I mean, they bumped the power from 205 to 228 in 2022.
If it had significantly more power, it would cost far far more then $30k base.
Kranthiuf91@reddit
I don’t like Subaru experience
ChimkenNumggets@reddit
35K is asinine
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
Why?
Seems like a pretty good price?
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
Special edition of 500 vehicles
Offered exclusively in 6-speed manual transmission
Debut of new Galaxy Purple Pearl exterior color
Improved performance with standard STI short throw shifter and Flexible V-Bar
Unique exterior and interior accents
Priced at $35,445 MSRP
SuprKidd@reddit
Fair play honestly. the pricing seems good for what it is
gg06civicsi@reddit
Will probably have 10k adm
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
Nope.
Subaru doesn't do dealer markups, you can go into any dealer, order any Subaru at or below MSRP and pay 0 dealer markup.
It's why they are such a great deal right now compared to their Toyota or Honda competitors.
Kaprilicious994@reddit
Maybe in US or wherever you are
Purchasing this in the UAE where I live would probably be $3-5k more - perks of big companies having monopoly
Frohblak@reddit
Sort of. There’s a dealership in Cary, NC that has had a 209 on their showroom floor for well over 60k for years.
gg06civicsi@reddit
Oh wow I didn’t know that. It sucks that I prefer the front bumper of the Toyota more. Wish they kept the looks the same.
jetvermillion@reddit
$100 more than the tS, but I guess most of that is paying for a limited edition. Interesting that they included the flexible v bar. I have it installed and it kind of feels more like a street comfort/compliance item than track performance which was my assumption for it not being included in the tS
Y33TUSMYF33TUS@reddit
and it doesnt even have the brembos
Drzhivago138@reddit
"Series.Purple" is a weird way to call it.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
Yea, they have been doing it for a while.
They had the 2016 Series.HyperBlue
2019 Series.Gray
2020 Series.White
2025 Series.Purple
It's like they had some programmers come up with the name where Series is an object, and the color is a variable in that object...
Drzhivago138@reddit
Well, if they're being consistent, then it's not so weird.
MEH_HEH@reddit
Except the 2015 Series.Blue was offered in Blue or White. To be fair, it was also the first year they started doing the “Series” colors.
StockAL3Xj@reddit
No engineer would use capitalized property names.
Funny_Papers@reddit
Subaru does this with other colors/cars too
Drzhivago138@reddit
At least it's not Statutory Grape.
elelelleleleleelle@reddit
I’m gonna grape you in the mouth.
GodsFavoriteDegen@reddit
The Grapist! Classic!
Vhozite@reddit
Ah yes the limited edition run of a car the average Subaru dealer doesn’t even have on their lot.
rainsfromafrica@reddit
Plasma blue pearl is still the goat
tofulo@reddit
Barney edition
stakoverflo@reddit
I wish it were that purple.
This is basically black that under absolute perfect lighting might make you say, "Hey wait that's not black!"
ItsGizzman@reddit
Actually Barney’s purple would be more interesting than this color but w/e at least it’s something marginally different.
Rihsatra@reddit
I don't need a second purple car, right?
Stunning_Bird6106@reddit
If you don't get a vanity plate that says "NURPLE", you're wrong.
superchibisan2@reddit
"Priced at $35,445 MSRP, the Subaru BRZ Series.Purple"
that was the first sentence I read... does no one proofread these AI articles.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
What's wrong with it?
That's how they have always named these special editions. They had the
2016 Series.HyperBlue
2019 Series.Gray
2020 Series.White
2025 Series.Purple
That's just how they name these special editions.
superchibisan2@reddit
oh interesting, I thought it was a typo and just a terribly written sentence.
injineer@reddit
Purple you say…. I’d love another purple car…
alterjoy21@reddit
Reminds me of Acura’s phantom violet pearl, looks light black til the sun hit right
MartinGTX@reddit
In Europe, I can’t buy it under 40k EUR.
Significant-Dog-8166@reddit
“Dark bruise purple” more like it. It’s bland enough that a minivan painted this color could still be lost in a costco parking lot among other black versions of the same minivan.
ionmushroom@reddit
more of a dark gray. wish subaru would be more willing to do colors like hyper blue.
an easy way to one up the gr86 would be to offer better colors. not a limited shade of gray/black
appleman2222@reddit
No turbo no care
ItchyMcHotspot@reddit
That's my favorite Bob Marley song.
Dazzling-Rooster2103@reddit (OP)
Lol
LawrenceOfMeadonia@reddit
I guess that is what counts as purple that passes the general focus groups.
ursastara@reddit
The color gives off homoerotic vibes
Mojave_Idiot@reddit
Never stop posting.
egorlike@reddit
Fan of purple but not this one, very dark and boring in my opinion
HOONIGAN-@reddit
It's barely purple. There's already photos of this new colour on the WRX tS and it's boring.
ob_knoxious@reddit
Everything but an STI. Keeps it affordable at least. Even this exclusive trim is cheaper than the EcoBoost mustang premium.
Summoorevincent@reddit
It’s a BRZ though
