Cuoio

Maybe im not seeing something or maybe im uninformed. I know each has their own taste, as do i.

But for some reason, i just can not stand the color Cuoio. I have had it and try real hard to "grow on it" but cant understand its massive popularity.

I prefer rosso corsa on nero. Can cuoio fans tell me what is it about the color? Is there some historical, cultural... Any value that im missing?

 

Whenever I see that color mentioned, I read it as "Culo," because to me, it looks like ass...

 

i dont get it either, plus i hate that word.

 

My Italian is rusty, but if memory serves, "cuoio" translates into "leather" or "hide". So in a Ferrari, a cuoio interior would be something that's natural hide or something to that effect.

FWIW.

 

I love that color - a bit darker and less delicate than tan.

Of course, I also do like ass, if it be behind the proper woman.

 

I like the color - I ordered it in my black 458.
I think cuoio looks good with black carpeting and black CF trim.

Many people like it... I think even more when it comes to red exterior.

On my ros cor 458, i had to get used to the cuoio. Never grew to like it.

Maybe on grig silv ext, i can think it goes well but uhhh... What am i missing?!

 

I quite like it if it is combined with the right exterior color. For instance on a 355 or 550, I think there is no better combination out there than TDF Blue over Cuoio.

(And in a black 458 it certainly looks sharp too... Nice choice, Toggie!)

 

Cuoio is the same natural leather color as on baseball mitts, cowboy boots, and horse saddles.
What's not to love?

Ahhh... Could there be a metaphorical symbol? Ferrari represented by a Cavalinno. :T

 

Strictly litteraly:
"Cuoio" means "leather"; as a color, it would be translated more or less as "natural leather".
"Pelle" means "hide".

But in usual, day-to-day parlance, italian tends to use "pelle" in some circumstances when most other languages would use "leather": when you say a "leather jacket", they would usually use "pelle", not "cuoio".

A Black Ferrari with Cuoio interior=Gorgeous!

 

An advantage of cuoio is it does not show dirt as much as beige and is easier to keep clean.

 

Black interior is just so clean, sharp, n sleek!

 

What Ferrari needs is a colour darker than Sabbia, but lighter than Cuoio.

 

It’s definitely an earthier colour. So many factors at play; sun tones, light exposure, day vs night.

 

Culio is the classic tan. Beautiful color that goes nicely with most interiors.

Black is fine, but pretty common in pickups and camrys. LOL

 

It just seems a little too dark and orangey. As is beige tradizione. Wish they had a color between BT and Sabbia.

 

Cuoio is the best. So fresh and clean and contrasts with red so nicely. Brightens up the interior. I get sad when I see a red Ferrari with black interior. Such a missed opportunity. I've seen Rosso Scuderia work nicely with red so I guess there are exceptions. Blue Ferraris over black are usually a bust too. So much sharper with cuoio. Even works with most of the greys/silvers. Not yellow though. Cuoio with yellow is strange to my eye.

 

I missed this thread 12 years ago but now after 5 years with a cuoio car I can say this is nonsense, it's one of the best interior colors! Especially for a GT.

Eye of the beholder. Is that Wyoming?

 

Las Vegas, actually. A couple of miles down the road from my home, that's the Red Rock Canyon national park.
