I have seen a solid-color (silver) Baja around town and it looks okay.
As to Subarus in general, my friend in HS had a red 1978 BRAT. What a fun ride and the jump seats were too cool. If I remember correctly, President Reagan had one just like it.
A well-kept BRAT with those rear facing jump seats intact is starting to be collectible. They got so much abuse that few have survived in any sort of condition, and people remember them fondly. Reagan did have one out in California.
A friend had one of those. I thought it was silly (I was driving a Chevy dually), but our 5 year old boys thought it was great. I seem to recall some safety issue about the rigid handles projecting from jump seats.
