    Always one of my favorite colors. Does not show up well in photos or from a distance.

    Close up it’s gorgeous. Almost regal.

    When a white accent stripe is added the color seems to pop more

    BRG is classically elegant. When paired with a red interior ….. not so much.

    I think there's a pic of a BRG Cali in the photo thread. IIRC it was a sunny day, and it looked really good...T

    It is beautiful and elegant in a low-key way,which is why I got my Portofino in Verde British. The red interior is hideous.

    For the person who wants everyday to feel like Christmas ;)

    Jk...I like the green, although it can look too black at times. A nice tan interior would be appealing.
    Although the whole thing is not very Ferrari....more like jaguar.

    Looks bad with the red interior. Would look better with cuoio or iroko.

    Agree with the opinions of the red interior. Cuoio would be ultimate classy. Always been a fan of that color, but never on an Italian car. Looks great on the California.

    British racing green on a Ferrari is okay, but with the red interior, I really like it!

    For me this color works best on less complex forms. California has too much going on.

    It really does work in person, much more so than in photos.

    I’ve seen a 458 Spider in that color. Under direct sunlight it is one of the most striking and elegant colors I’ve ever seen, especially if paired with brown or grey interior.

    I think Verde compliments the California even more, once it’s a GT.

    I’d buy that spec you posted in a heartbeat. Love it!

    White, yellow, green and blue are by far my favorite Ferrari colors, in that order. Rosso Corsa is definitely not for me.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.
