Finish types and how they affect appearance
Subaru uses different finish categories that affect depth, shine, and hue. Here is a quick guide to the main finishes you’ll encounter on current models:
Before listing the finishes, here is a concise explanation of the list that follows.
- Pearl finishes add depth and a subtle shimmer, often described as "pearl" or "pearl effect," as in Crystal White Pearl or Horizon Blue Pearl.
- Metallic finishes incorporate metallic flakes that reflect light for a brighter, sparkling look, such as Ice Silver Metallic and Magnetite Gray Metallic.
- Solid finishes are flat colors without pearl or metallic effects and are typically the most uniform in appearance.
Each finish can look different under various lighting, so viewing in person or at a dealer is recommended.
Notes for buyers
Availability of colors and finishes varies by model, trim, and region. Some hues may be offered only on limited editions or specific trims, and regional markets sometimes introduce unique colors.
When shopping, use Subaru's official configurator or contact a local dealer to confirm current color options for your preferred model and year.
