    Was it recently renamed? Late 2021 Blu Julie was still available. I have pictures of an F8 Spider in Blu Julie (delivered in Aug 2022). The paint codes are different.

    Blu Torrice is an amazing color. The color was created by someone in the UK and first used on a Portofino.

    There is also a 812 GTS in this color.

    No idea when it was renamed - I asked my dealer for a sample of Blu Julie and he came back saying it was renamed.

    This is not my information. I believe both are available to order. Ive seen both color samples next to each other just a few months ago, and also I have seen Blu Hembery on 2 cars. The colors are very similar. I would describe Hembery as being a little bit more of a show car color, with a little bit more visible metallic flake and it will tend to exhibit its highlights a little more quickly than Julie. You could say Julie is a little bit more subtle. Also Hembery has a few more colors in its metallic flake and just a touch of green in its highlights that Julie lacks, at least to my eyes.

    With all that said, I think if you saw each color on two cars next to each other, it would be difficult to immediately distinguish them. You could do it upon closer examination, but they are pretty close.

    Both are beautiful blues and if you want a darker blue metallic, then you won’t be disappointed.

    Blu Julie is a tailor made color dating from 2013. They also had Blu Hamburg back then which was similar. Blue Sapphire was an even darker blue that looked black with the 'blue' only appearing in direct sunlight.

    I also chose Celeste Met for my 296 GTS, but I was just told that the color was deleted from the configurator and the price rose from $13k to $32k. Have you heard of this from your dealership?

    Yes, I got the same message. I detailed it in the paint cost thread, but I ended up switching to Azzurro Monaco for my GTB.

    The choice of reasonably priced colors isn't great unfortunately...
    So far, as a Belgian, I've chosen Blu Swaters with Grigio Silverstone strip but I really might go for Blu America... +-3.000€ of price difference... but I could not see both side by side so it's difficult to choose.

    Also, don't know what you guys think about the subject but IMO the prices for some options (incl. colors) is getting much too high... like DATR : CARBON FIBRE DASHBOARD INSERTS => 4.000€ and it seems to be only for inserts around PDIS...

    Hello!
    I'm hesitating between Blu Swaters or Blu America... They didn't have any Blu America sample at the dealership unfortunately...
    Anyone who has some input or side by side picture by any chance?
    I'd like the best option with this spec :
    LI01 - Grigio Silverstone 740 (Special Livery Design 1) SPEC
    Of course I might change the grey stripe if there is a better option with Blu America.
    Inside will be black with dark blue contrast.
    Thanks forward :)
