Pista color quandry

I ordered Rosso f1 2007 for my pista, following a similar idea. I remember having seen the color on a real F1 car during a pit visit in spa Francorchamps 2007 or 2008 and I have a sample of this colour on my Acer Ferrari Notebook „One“ from that period.
Pictures on internet don‘t do the colour justice, but anyway try a google search and you will see some cars, one of them a 599 GTB...
Good luck and post some pictures once you logged in.
Here is mine (hopefully coming late this year).

Your F1 2007 is a nice idea but I think Rosso Maranello also shows well as seen in these two examples.

I had a 2009 Scud with F1 triple paint. It was very nice, but I would go with Rosso Maranello or Rosso Fuoco. Both are very nice.

 

I saw Rosso F1 2007 alongside Rosso Fuoco and Rosso Maranello at the factory. Personally F1 2007 looked like metallic red verging in orange in the highlights. Maranello is metallic maroon and quite dark. I preferred Rosso Fuoco which varied from a mid red to a bright red depending on the light.

I’ve attached a photo taken at the factory outside. On the left is F1 2007, then a car model sample of Rosso Maranello, then some tan samples and Rosso Fuoco on the right. Fuoco varies the most depending on the light and in this shot looks quite dark.

 

I think the new stripe design is particularly effective so white would make for a good contrast color.
For your ghost stripe idea perhaps another lighter shade of red or even go grey. It sort of depends on the color you choose for the interior to so everything works together. I have to say that the ghost stripe is something I have personally never seen on a Ferrari so it would be a unique choice. Though the 'stripe' is really part of the Pista experience and can be used to good effect.

 

Rosso Maranello is amazing in the sunlight and dark in the shade. I think it varies easily as much as Fuoco which has a lot of orange in it. I have had two RM cars including my Speciale which I Atelier ordered and am keeping. It is a stunning and very unique colour. Unique because it is a three layer mica. This means it does not have metallic flakes in the paint but tiny reflective spheres. The importance of this is that you get high reflected light but it gives fine ‘pinpoints’ rather than shards of light. In the sun this allows the car to look liquid, deep blood red with a tone not dissimilar to Rosso Corsa in bright sunlight (but obviously much more reflective). It is almost impossible to capture it on a camera (and I have some expensive ones!) I have enclosed two screengrabs of photos of my Speciale - the original files are too large for fchat upload but they give the idea. The picture of the flank gives an idea of the liquid-ness but in real life the effect is much stronger. The second picture allows a comparison for tone to the car next door, which is RC. It is taken in less sunlight but not shade. In the shade the car is much a darker and very different to RC. The pictures have absolutely zero editing or colour correction on them. Technically this does not make them totally accurate because you are depending on the white balance of the camera to get the right tone, but so many internet pictures are edited to give extra shine, I wanted a picture that was completely untouched to demonstrate the colour.

We spent a long time looking at colours in the factory. There is another red, Rosso Berlinetta, which was a launch colour for the F12. This is similar to RM but using a gold base rather than a silver base as with RM. That would provide an extremely subtle contrast stripe, though might be too subtle for my own taste. You might love it though.

There is no orange in RM or RB, which is why they were the final two we chose from. F1 2007 is a beautiful colour but a lot of orange, Fuoco has orange reflection in it, somehow this works different to F1 2007 and can look great but we just did not want any orange in the red we chose for that car. We get regular compliments on the colour and it is easy to see why.

I’ve decided on Rosso Fuoco. My first time indulging in a triple layer paint.

Looks awesome, Buddy! You might get addicted to triple layers after this one!

I thought Rosso Fuocco is a bit darker...

 

Stunning!

 

Beautiful! Congratulations!!

 

Sigh... I wish my balls were as big as you guys! I stick to White or Red for the easy resale..... but love the colors your showing!

 

So, what you're saying is that you're buying your cars for the next guy instead of for you... Don't you deserve to pick the car you want more than the next guy? You are the one paying for it...

 

Rosso Fuoco for me as well, I'm in love with this color...very strange because I'm a yellow Ferrari guy lol
