what is Pozzi Blue

I'd say a very dark non-metallic purple blue.

 

Pozzi is a non metallic dark blue, about one shade lighter than midnight blue and one shade darker than Royal Blue.

 

With poor lighting or at night, its almost impossible to distinguish it from black.

 

here is a great link that will give you all the Ferrari colors

That's a great site. Thanks!

 

What he said. Non-metallic dark blue, with a strong gray tone. Looks black in low light. Here are a couple pics of the same Blu Pozzi car inside and outside to give you an idea of how the color changes.

It's really an elegant, classy color. You need to see it in person to fully appreciate it. The name is derived from the exclusive Ferrari importer for France. http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/pozzi/paris-levallois/

 

Pozzi Blue is sharp. My local dealer had one with Yellow Ceramic calibers and Cuoio interior and the car looked stunning!

 

it s a very nice color but the only drawback is keeping it clean.

 

I don't think it would be any more difficult to keep clean than one of the Nero cars. I really like the Pozzi Blue and the TDF Blue. They look great in person.

 

that site didnt list one of my favorites...bleu mirabeau.

first guy to answer correctly how it got that name gets a gold star...

nobody??

 

Scoured google for an answer. Can I get a silver star for trying?

 

lets give it a couple more days before i divulge. see if anybody has better goggling skills

 

Mirabeau Blu, named after a portion of the Monaco racing circuit?

 

Really dark, in cloudy day almost black like..... non-metalic blue

 

that is a very good guess. but why would it be blue?? you are close

 

OK then, how about named after the Mirabeau region in southern France, and it's blue because that's the traditional color of French racing cars?

 

Thanks for the great link!

 

nope, now you are straying from the target...it does in fact have to do with the mirabeau corner on the monaco circuit. but why blue, and that shade?

 

Because it's adjacent the harbor?

need4spd has been a good sport and given it a shot. i am leaving for a track day, so i will divulge all now.

at what is known as the mirabeau corner on the monaco circuit, there used to be a hotel, called hotel mirabeau. the building is still there now but no longer a hotel. it had a great big art deco awning and a big sign with blue lettering. it is the shade of blue from that sign that is used for blu mirabeau.

here is an artist's rendering of fangio taking the corner in 1955 with the hotel in the background:

and here is a picture of stewart taking the same corner in 1967:

i stumbled upon this years ago when i found an old postcard of the hotel and asked a former ferrari employee about it.
