    In my opinion the best 599 color is "Rosso Monza". It's wonderful on this car, even if I wouldn't choose it on another car.
    Apart this color, I think another nice color is "Nero Daytona" and "Blue Pozzi" with Red Interior.

    IMO:

    1)Rosso Corsa (red, V12 upfront, 2 seats...pure "Ferrariness")
    2)Black

    In general I think these are the best colors, but on some Ferraris, such as the 599, I think there are colors done on purpose for them.
    About California, I think the best color is "Nuovo Blu Pozzi", while about a Scaglietti the "Blue TdF" isn't so bad...

    If I were ordering a new one (which I just turned down the chance to do a month ago, given the plummeting used prices for very low mileage pre-owned cars), I'd go Nero Daytona. Drove the Rosso Monza at Mt. Tremblant and liked the color quite a bit, but the local AD told me that it tends to fade -- hard to believe in this day and age, but just repeating what I was told.

    For me the two best colors are black and grey. The Silverstone is striking (again a matter of taste) -- my "new" one is Titanio over Cuoio, and I love it.

    The bright reds are just too much for me -- great on a 430 or my old 512TR, but not for a 599.

    For the 612, definitely TdF -- but I saw a TdF 599 parked right next to a Nero one at Laguna last August, and it was no contest -- the black really suits the 599 in ways that TdF does not. Interestingly, the black 612s I've seen have really left me cold...

    In the end, buy what you love!

    Boy that Azzuro California is hard to beat! With that interior it is a VERY SWEET looking car! I have always wanted a Red Ferrari, but man that blue looks nice. The Mariner Blue that we have seen a few shots of here on F-chat is probably my all time favorite though...but that is just because I am a SUCKER for Royal blue's...

    You're right, but these colors are very similar.
    Another question: what is the 599 "standard" color? Monza or Fiorano?

    Vinaccia Claret; a throwback from the '50s and '60s. A beautiful color in my opinion. There's a Scuderia liveried in that color.
