    Grigio Titanio really accentuates the curves, looks great with shields and yellow calipers, and a cuoio interior. That would be my vote.

    Agreed. It’s exactly how I specced my 812.

    TDF! The blue really pops. So few cars today have any color in them, its like we're living in the days of black and white tvs!

    I have a 458 in exactly the colors you describe. The thread caught my eye as TDF and Grigio Silverstone were the other colors I was considering.
    Titanio obviously lighter and TDF darker. I prefer TDF when all shined up but Titanio is less work and looks great in lower light as well.

    Blu TdF all the way. Stunning color. I had titanio on my F12 and didn’t love it. I might be on my 10th blue Tdf including on the pista spider.

    Its got to Grigio Titanio, it shows the curves superbly and then changes colour in the sun.

    I had it over three months before I washed it and put it away for winter. I have a short mixed hard surface rock road I have to drive on to get to my garage.
    So it gets pretty dusty as soon it is taken out which means a wash every time if I want it to look perfect. I think constant washing would be harder on the paint than a wash when it truly gets dirty. This also favors driving it when ever I want instead of being dissuaded by having to wash and detail afterwards.

    Mine has the standard alloy wheels with yellow calipers. You might have a point on the black wheels. They really look sharp.
    Wonder what a new set costs?

    Very personal of course, but to me it's not close. One sees a gazillion Ferraris in grigio titanium, to me very nice but boring, like there are currently in the catalog four different grigio paints and argento Nurbugring not to mention two historical grigios and bianco Avus. There are oceans of such Ferraris. At any club meeting or cars and coffee you're likely to see several of your cars coming at you.

    But then, I'm prejudiced since my 575M is blu Tour de France, my 412 is blu sera, my old F355 berlinetta was blu scuro micalizzato, my old Maserati Spyder was blu nettuno and my Cadillac CTS is dark blue metallic.

    TdF blu is an exceedingly rich metallic hue and relatively uncommon. just my 2c

    I agree. That’s where I’m leaning. Very hard to find the right one in TDF. Hard to be patient when you are ready.
