Jack, that's what the Dutch are known for since the 17th century: Grabbing trade oppertunities as they come up!
I thought the blue pozzi Wayne posted was black by accident, but the Photoshop measuring tool revealed it was RGB (0,0,60)

LOL, Brian... i didn't search it extensively, but that website under one of Wayne's pictures might answer your question... If they don't sell, you can always contact them and ask who does...

Scott, i spoke with the owner; like you said, it was Grigio Alloy, but my question was whether he was accurate in DEScribing California blue as navy-ish when i thought it was lighter... Wayne's pictures settle this for me, but thank you... Thanks, Eric, Wayne, Red, et al, too... i thought it was what i thought it was, but then i wasn't so sure i was thinking what i thought i thought i was thinking... The pictures cleared that up, though. :-)

Next to red, grigio alloy is my favorite color for the 360.

Can you take a picture of all the paint chips put together, then the contrast will be more evident for the Long Island kid.....

DES. All of the Azurro California (azurre blue) cars that I've seen,have been a light,silvery blue,like what you're describing. Maybe like a metallic sky blue,almost. In Italian, Grigio is gray,Azurre is blue,Rossa is red,Verde is green,Nero is black. I saw a picture of an F50 for sale in the DuPont Regisry,that was this same,light silvery metallic blue.It was described as,"Azurro California Blue". Also,a story on the Speedchannel show,"My Classic car",with Dennis Gage,a few weeks ago,that showcased a '66 275GTB that had been wrecked and rebuilt,and the owner said it was painted the "California Blue" color. Which was that same,light blue metallic color. I always thought that Grigio Alloy was more of a color similar to Titanium,Gray,or silver...? Now,I'm confused,too. Oh well,mines Red! :-)

DES, grigio alloy is a silver with a bluish hint, somewhat similar to the azzurro california. the azzurro california is almost this same color but more dramatic and darker, not navy though at all.
Depending on the light, grigio alloy could resemble the azzurro california, but side by side, the the cali blue would be a more brilliant blue.
I figure the guy's car was probably grigio alloy, though he was probably a bit wrong in describing cali blu as navy-ish

The blue color on that 360 (I was at the show) was Grigio Alloy.

At the Morristown show yesterday, i approached a gentleman who was wiping down his 360 spider; it was a light color with, what i thought was a hint of blue... i thought it was California blue... i asked him this and he said it was Grigio Alloy; he said California blue was a darker, navy blue-type color...

That's wrong, i thought... The 360 spider in Tako's profile is California blue... It's a light blue... Am i right or was this guy right...? i have enough learning disabilities to begin with, i really don't need to be misinformed... Can we just help me get this straight, once and for all...? Thanks...
