    I think you will find that ‘Rosso perlato’ is a description added to some colours. Perlato in Italian means pearl thus this is a pearly red , it helps describe the ‘wetness’ of the look of Rosso Magma

    Makes sense, but was told by someone who's "around" the factory Rosso Perlato is different and listed a link, There are two Rosso Perlato - 25th anniversary countach and Rosso Perlato Charo which is the one of interest.

    The depth and wetness of Maranello is pretty incredible if that’s what one is going for. I can’t add a video here but if anyone is curious DM me your cell and I can send some for you to see the depth.

    Could be a slightly different finish to a colour but not a colour on its own

    As well, but maybe a Niki Lauda theme - ?
    Red body paint appears to be same as red on shied.
    Seen a few guys doing Niki Lauda themes - maybe they knew.

    Maybe you can compare Rosso Fuoco (Fire Red) with Rosso Fiorano. Having had both for comparison?
    Interestingly Michael the FL collector liked Rosso Fiorano so much he ordered that color FIVE times in a row! To be fair this was before Rosso Fuoco came along, with a debut on the 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE package version.

    I have bought 3 cars with Rosso Fuoco: F8 spider, 296 GTS, and LaF. I sold the F8 spider as it fit the same driving slot as the 296GTS. Fuoco looks great on the 2 cars. I put Magna on an 812C. I love the Magma as much as the Fuoco but IMO the Magma is better for aggressive cars (like the 812C).

    I ordered an SF90 in Rosso Fiorano. A mistake on my part. It did not look great in person. It was too brown. I thought the balance of red to brown would be much more red. On the long flat sides, the brown came out too much. The picture I attached is in the sun when you can see the most red. In the shade is when the brown comes out. That’s what I didn’t love. For me, it looked better in pictures than Iive. I won’t be ordering Fiorano again.

    I sold that SF90 as a result and bought a Bianco Cervino one that looks fantastic because of the white/black contrast. I am not a “white paint” person at all. But love it on the SF90.

    Here is a side pic of the Fiorano SF90. This was the most red pic I had. The others had too much brown in them. Also here is the Bianco SF90 to see how much white works on it. Sorry pic is taken with white walls behind it. Also, the bonnet is Rosso Fuoco with full sun mid-day

    Much to be said about the size and styling for a color. Cervino pick up day at the dealer - also on Purosangue - great color.
