Well considering 555 packets are blue, I think not. Although the STi 'Prodrive Style' comes in both blue and black.

I thought 555 stopped sponsoring Subaru some time ago?

The blue/yellow were corporate colours as much as anything, and the bigwigs in Japan have allowed prodrive to use something different if necessary as it limits sponsorship potential.
Having said that, I have heard runours (from folk who have a little more prodrive intel than I) that one of the cars might be red. Not courtesy of Marlboro, but Coke.
We'll find out soon enough.
