I bought my first Subaru, a white Forester, in 2003 when I got back from OIF. Really enjoyed it, but traded it in in 2009 when I moved to my current posting in North Texas because the nearest dealer was 110 miles away.
A few months ago, I saw the ads for the XV, Crosstrek here in the states, and LOVED the Tangerine Orange (although my wife hated it, and suggested I would grow tired of it quickly). However, when I actually saw the orange in person, I was bummed that it didn't match what I thought I saw in the ads...it was just darker/more flat, than I thought. So, I decided the white one would do the trick. However, when I drove to Dallas two weeks ago to buy it, the dealer showed me the Desert Khaki, and after 2 hours of looking at the two colors (while letting two different dealers fight over my business), I bought the Desert Khaki. The deal breaker/decision maker between the two colors turned out to be how light the Ivory leather interior looked. We figured it would pick up/show too much dirt/grim too quickly...so black leather it is.
