    Looks a bit to matte (almost like a wrap) to be Hy-Kers Green IMO, but pictures and lighting conditions can be deceptive. Perhaps it's the same color code but a matte finish instead of a clearcost finish like common Hy-Kers green.

    Here's a Hy-Kers Green 458 in daylight.

    Well technically speaking, Hy-Kers green is not a real color name.
    It's just a reference to the Hy-Kers 599 concept, which had a never seen before green paint with a matte finish, and which is the exact same color seen on the SA Aperta.

    The real name of the color is Verde Kers.

    Verde Kers Opaco in the case of the Hy-Kers 599, or this beautiful FF:

    Or Verde Kers Lucido in the case of the 458 you posted, or this other one :

    Here's the PPG sticker:

    Would never spec such a color, but I kinda like it.

    Typed on a piece of tape and stuck onto a PPG sticker. They did not even bother to stick it on squarely. Interesting.

    I especially like the red piping on the seats. They really stand out on the car!

    I adore the SA Aperta, love Rosso Dino, and drool over cioccolato....yet somehow this combination doesn't quite work for me..... :/

    I think Rosso Dino is too sporty of a color while cioccolato is more luxurious than other interior colors. It's like putting a comfy leather couch in a pit lane.

    I feel exactly the same. The red dash inserts are also an odd touch.

    I would have specced it with the GTO hood. There is a 488 hiding in the background....

    Is that Blue Pozzi on the last Aperta just posted or black on black ?

    There is a BIG difference in the comment outcome.
