    Will go green for the spider - maybe not Verde Francesca like my 812 GTS - perhaps something richer but would also like to check out the launch colour which is an interesting shade of green. Will go Tailor Made with this and maybe go Atelier for the coupe and do that in blue if I can find an interesting one.

    My understand is that all the parts in black cannot be chosen in body color at all

    +1 on metallics, the color needs to show off the fender and buttress curves. My concern about Molvedo is perhaps not enough flop from light to dark.

    Yeah, Molvedo (right swatch) ended up #2 to verde menthe when we specified our GTS at Atelier... but I said to my wife during the session, "we'll save that for the next one."

    Side note, I was surprised at Atelier/TM offices they don't use the factory configurator, they use Photoshop, because even the configurator is not color accurate or detailed enough.

    I think lighter looks sharp on the length of the front hood area, and the rear fender but I concede that it's a lot of contrast around the nose trim and wing. If they do offer to color match the rear deck, that will be a must.

    Also, your picture shows how tiny the metal shields look. I wouldn't bother with those, either paint or leave it clean this time.

    I know 812 GTS flying buttresses could be painted in different colors, was there also a gloss black option? Or not applicable due to regulations?

    So is it pretty definite that the black bits cannot be body color by factory?

    It appears so. I think customers will generally accept/understand it when they see the car in person. Of course, there will be a few who are adamant about it and may do so in the aftermarket. The designers will still see it as putting ketchup on their osso buco.

    I wonder if changes to the black panels will be introduced over time or at TM. I remember when I ordered my GTS the quarter panels had to be black but later you could get them in carbon for the price of your first born. I suspect the same will happen with the 12.

    Yes Verde. Thanks. Yeah I think it bring the 12C to life and makes the design look cohesive and complete. Sounds like a good plan.

    I think azzuro Dino or blu corsa would be amazing

    That is what I’m thinking, but not sure on interior color. This is for the spider.

    I was at the reveal and I can confirm it was Blu Corsa, the lighting throws off the color.
