    Any blue.

    But, I really wouldn't mind the other colors.

    Yes.

    F40 Only in red.

    250GTO Ditto. (Actually, that pretty much goes for the entire 250 series except for the Lusso, which can be beautiful in silver.)

    288 Red rules, but the two (?) that were painted silver must have looked fantastic in person.

    206/246 Rosso Dino, of course, although yellow and deep metallic blue are also great. Black looks great if it's glossy, but doesn't quite show off the lines as well.

    Testarossa/512 Red is the best color for these cars. I've seen two white-on-white ones, which is said to be rare, but really doesn't work for me. Black is good, but not as good as red.

    308/328 So beautiful that it even works in white, since the louvers, beltline, and trim create a beautiful contrast. Works well in rosso corso, of course, but also in dark green, dark blue, prugna. . . The only colors I've seen on a 308 that made it less than gorgeous were mud brown and lime green. It's hard to choose a favorite, but I guess I'd go with argento (silver.)

    F50 Only looks good in black, since it so strongly resembles a Batmobile.

    456/599/612 "Ferrari red" (rosso corso) does not work on these cars; they're too big. Darker non-metallic colors are generally best for these land ships, although a deep metallic blue is my favorite for the 456.

    I'm inclined to agree with you. I saw a Maranello some years ago in Rosso Barchetta and it looked stunning! That color (and Rubino) also looks good on 360s and 430s, as do darker blues like TdF and Swaters.

    For 308s and 328s, I of course like Rosso Corsa (like mine), but they also look good in black and yellow. But a friend refuses to drive his black 308 at night because he says that no one can see it!

    Had 246's in gold metallic, and red. Had 308 GTB in fly yellow, 512BB1 Silver/black, Testa in white and finally modena 360 in Red. By all standards Ferrari must be RED!

    That is about as close as we are going to get with Bruce Wayne's set of wheels. :D

    Depends on the model, but I'm very partial to black and or yellow. Some look good in red too, but red's overdone these days.

    Didn't Ferrari at some point try to trademark their 'red'- just like cadbury tried to trademark purple?

    Silverstone and TdF Blue are my favorites and black looks good on everything. Also Blu Pozzi too.

    If you're driving a 308 in traffic anywhere, day or night, you might as well assume that you're invisible, no matter what the color.

    Especially here in Colorado, where about 80% of all drivers have monster SUV's and can't see a 308 over the door sills when you're in the lane alongside them.

    Personally, I'll bet it'd look incredible in a bright silver.

    I've always wanted to see a 288 GTO in a light forest green. I think that'd look fantastic.

    Batmobile? Please. The F50 is pure perfection. These look incredible in silver, red, yellow, or blue. Silver and red are my favorite though.

    Gotta agree with the first few responses. TdF Blue, Abu Dhabi Blue, any blue actualy, red. I've seen an Abu Dhabi Blue Scud before. Looked amazing.
