    I forgot about your page 12 views, nice. The names become rather tricky as Ferrari is recreating paint colors that were always solid colors in the past. Two examples that come to mind are Metallic versions of the old Blu Pozzi and Azzurro La Plata just to name two. The metallic detail does change the 'look' of the paint color.

    Thank you. Exactly, metallic often change the appearance of the color. Perhaps the one that stays most faithful to the flat version is Rosso Corsa Metallizzato, as the flakes are quite discreet.

    Hi gents . I’ve decided for a silver / grey color for my 12 cilindri. But i still don’t know which one. I’m thinking between sanu silver and Grigio competizione. Which one would you recommend? I haven’t seen neither live. Thanks

    The Sanu Silver has been popular. Here is a good view of the color. This paint is rather bright if that is what you are looking for. The Grigio GTS is a darker paint color by comparison. The bright silver makes a good contrast with the black areas on the 12 Cilindri.

    LMP here shared this factory picture of Sanu Silver that shows the contrast with the black parts.

    This was an interesting example with two colors. The body paint color is Rubino Micalizzato and the plastic trim is painted Nero DS. The old problem with Rubino is the color washes out a bit in some lighting conditions. Still a very nice effect with a rich look to this paint color. That Rubino makes a nice contrast with all the gloss black trim. The flat black standard plastic just can't create the same effect.

    All that gloss black shows better in this second picture >
