    John...I'd suggest checking out the FF photos thread. Nice collection of FFs in different colors, lighting conditions, etc...T

    yes do check the photos thread.

    Check out Rosso:
    Maranello (a metallic tri layer, big pound stirlings)
    Fiorano
    Mugello
    Metallizzato

    There are others.

    OP...There are several blue FFs - pozzi, TdF & mirabeau (sp?)- on Cars.com if you are thinking in that part of the spectrum & are looking for a visual, from diff angles, in diff lighting, etc...T

    Outstanding! If you're married to red, and the above pics aren't enough to convince you about RM, there are two Maranello red FF on Cars.com for further inspiration...T

    Yes... because they are very expensive tri-layers I think it would pay to try to find one with low miles. You have to see it in person. It is really gorgeous.

    So is this one. But the picture does not even begin to do it justice. Just saw a F12 in RM and it was stunning. Really special(e)! 8^)

    I'll post a pic later.

    This pic is as close as I've seen to how good Rosso Maranello is on a F12 or FF.

    Some of these reds are so close to each other that with normal variations in camera color temperature and balance they can easily be confused.

    This color is special from the Neiman Marcus cars, but very nice color. Have not seen it in person.
    What do you guys think of this color?

    Mugello is very nice on the big cars especially.

    I think the first thing one needs to decide is whether to go metallic or flat. They each have their virtues.

    Thanks for the response I'm still leaning towards Grigio Ferro again????
    But also thinking Rubino Micalizzato ?

    Grigio Ferro works so well on the FF!

    I'd do the Rubino Micalizzato. It will look incredibly classy and feel special, without being over the top. Ferro is nice, but it will blend in a lot more with the other ordinary silver/grey cars on the road. Try and visualize your reaction when you step into your garage in the morning. Which one will make you stop for a second, just to have an extra look before you get in? That's the one for you.

    I have the same problem. I love certain colors and seem to come back to them. Have to force myself to new ones. If it were me I would do it in a dark red or the ruby as you were thinking. That doesn't help that much as there are so many beautiful ones.
