    The darker blues and the pastels are nice but Blu Corsa pops. Here’s my GTB.

    Has anybody of you an idea about those light/baby-blue colors ? They look like non metallic but they might be. Something like this (which is Azzurro Lechla, as mentioned in the video). There must be something like Blu Flugplatz e.g.. Just what these colors are (called) and any idea about their prices ? Because this segment of colors isn't obiously available, when you go to your Ferrari Dealer.

    Also, is there anybody of you with an 296GTS/GTB in Azzurro California?

    My GTS order is Azzurro Dino. I had planned to do it on my SF90 XX, but decided to go with Mercury Gold instead. It’s nice to see more color variety becoming the trend. Nothing against reds, as I own some…

    My GTS was spec'd in Blu Scozia Mica. Anyone have any pictures? Looks great in the dealer configurator.

    Yes it is. This is the sample (flat panel in the pics) at the Atelier at the factory. My dealer took the little speed shape I sprayed out in this colour to compare the original colour to the version Ferrari offer now. It is classed as a PNT1 code 2 layer upon request special colour for pricing.

    How does the car compare to your F8?

    Did you keep your F8?

    is there a difference between "Blue TDF" and "Blue TDF 70" or is that just the new name for "Blue TDF"?

    As a Ferrari novice, I've no idea, sorry. But I am curious how TdF became, seemingly, the "standard" dark blue. Was it ever a launch colour, or has it become "naturally" popular? Or maybe it was cheaper than other blues ...
    (I appreciate that compared to the reds any blue is rare.)

    TDF 70 is a more "modern" colour.It is a little brighter and more metallic than the old TDF.

    Spec'ing my 296 GTS now, with an eye on re-sale. Blu Corsa is around $12K and Blu Elettrico is around $17K. There will be more Blu Corsa's around. Is Blu Elettrico worth the extra $5K? Need everyone's input. Thanks in advance!

    I am told the factory staff refer to Blu Elettrico as the 'Magic Color'. So it would be hard to go wrong choosing that paint color.

    what would be the the equivalent of giallo triplo strato or rosso coburn but in a blue shade (something thats deep and not dark)?

    Ive been looking for a special blue colour either metallic or triple layer that...for me i like Blu ellettrico but it dont feel its there in terms of the effect

    As I don't like Blu Corsa I'd go for Electric :)
    But my main advise would be, don't go cheap on your color... choose what you prefer.
