    This pass Danville show there was a Light Blue 575 that was stunning. I couldn’t tell what color it was so I looked it up. A simple search produced these colors:

    Azzurro
    Azzurro California
    Blu
    Blu Chiaro
    Blu Medio Metallico
    Blu Pozzi
    Blu Sera Metallico
    Blu Tour de France

    Now obviously there’s way more colors than this, I can’t read Italian, so I think these were the only blue ones. Does anyone out there have pictures of Blue Ferrari’s, and know the differance between these? and are there more than these?

    Probably azzurro or azzurro cal. The other ones aren't very light. Azzurro is a pale metallic blue.

    Top photo here is blu chiaro on a 328 (photo is mine). Bottom is blu sera on a 308 (photo from elsewhere on FChat).

    That's a 575 not a 550.

    Yes I realized it was a 575 after I found the pictures. sorry. You managed to call me on it before i could do an edit, its only been about 45 seconds.

    This is in the Enzo forum as a "blu Sebring"

    That is Grigio Alloy. The Blu Sebring car is pictured earlier in that thread.

    EDIT: I actually don't believe that the Enzo is Blu Sebring. I think it's Azzurro California as well.

    Blue is a most elegant color for a Ferrari!

    I still think about that blu chiaro 328: one of the nicest colors I've seen on a Ferrari. It catches you completely off guard, then you can't stop staring at it. My photo doesn't do it justice. It was overcast/January in Denver in this shot.

    I really like the Pozzi. Its very deep, dark. I bet at night it's almost black, but in the direct sun you can tell its blue. I think that color complements the 575 very well.

    Yup, that's my car, so yes, it's Blu Medio Metallico.

    By the way, there is now at least one 612 in Blu Medio!!! (I saw pictures of one on *********** dot com, where there is a registry of cars.)

    There are literally dozens of blue colors of Ferraris over the decades.

    Whenever I take my car to a show -- be it the Italian Concours or a local "everything" show, people just seem to love the blue Ferrari. I think it is that people are simply not expecting a non red, black, yellow or silver Ferrari, and the Blu Medio (like Chiarro and Sera) is just so elegant.

    For me it is any of the lighter colors, not as light as Sebring.

    This is as close as I could come to a Ferrari color I saw only once back in 1974. Midnight Blue Metalic from PPG. '72 246 GT. Daily driver. I like it.

    Ya'll forgot probably the rarest Ferrari blue on the planet, Montecarlo Blu 20-A-548. My first car came in this color but was repainted red. Heres one that was for sale in europe a while back.
