    Supposedly it was part of the design choice to "compliment" the black A pillars.

    In this foto it really looks awkward and it seems to be a good idea to switch the colors of the mirror.

    But in ever-day perception one would look at the car from a standing perspective, more from the top.
    Then the body-colored part blends with the side-panels and the black parts disappear.

    At least that's my theory what the designers were thinking.

    My bet is Argento Nurburgring with the exposure turned down. Titanio is 20-30% darker. Silverstone more charcoal.

    It does. You found the correct Francorchamps location though :) The AutoScout24 site shows it as being in Brussels when it's in Luxembourg.

    I still suspect it is Grigio Titanio as Ferrari now refer to that as a Classic colour.

    I wonder if based on the registration date of June 2022 that was the dealer demo car in Luxembourg rather than a customer car

    It's a possibility. The UK dealers first demo cars are all now up for sale.

    I hope not... I ordered it for mine as one of the few no cost paint color. Mine is to be delivered in June 2023...

    Nero DS is one of 8 standard no cost colours on the 296 GTB and GTS models.

    Thanks, I need to check with my dealer then.

    At the moment on my GTS order NERO DS has the code PNCC next to it; weird.

    That looks to be an error on the part of your dealer as it is Nero Daytona that has a PNCC code and is a chargeable option. You might want to suggest they look at the Personalisation Programme PDF that they can download on MODIS ;)

    I'd still bet for Argento Nurburgring - they also have a Roma that's Grigio Titanio and the color in autoscout says "Gris" (i.e. grey) while for the 296 (which, unlike the Roma, is not in the dealer website) autoscout says "Argent".

    Dealer ads would seem to use whatever the current naming convention for a colour that Ferrari use on their dealer system. Grigio Titanio was a standard range colour on the Roma at launch so they can use that (or at least call it Gris) in their description. Grigio Titanio is a PNCC Classic Colour on the 296 and it is rare to find a Ferrari dealer ad that actually details a non standard range colour name. They default to using Classic, Historical (PNTH description instead) which is very frustrating.

    These are their photo's of the two cars. My money's is firmly on Grigio Titanio for their 296.

    Argento Nurburgring looks a lot lighter under ambient lighting conditions (see photo below) and certainly would look much lighter in that indoor brightly lit shot.
