I am looking for the darkest gunmental type grey I can find for the 355 spider. Would Grigio Titanio fit this bill?

What is the color code for Grigio Alloy?

Thanks

 

In ordering my Spider I had planned it to be in Grigio Alloy. However after spotting a couple on the street, I changed to the classic red. My reasons for doing so was the Grigio Alloy came off looking fairly feminine and if not clean had the appearance of an ugly grey. In addition, the color is a big minus on resale.

Something to thing about.

 

Grigio Titanio always stays bold, "metallic-ie", and sharp. Especially at night when there is light flashing on it. The metallic shines out. DUring the day, the Grigio Titanio paint, even though it is a dark grey, still seems like a sharp and intense grey color. The contrast of the color with the 360 stock wheels looks amazing during the day periods of intense light.

A few quick points:

1. I completely understand why some people think Grigio Alloy seems feminine. The touch of sky blue does that. (Yes, I just knocked Grigio Alloy, but see my avatar, so it's allowed.)

2. My experience: Grigio Alloy stays clean-looking (that is, doesn't need a wash all that much) as well as any other silver color and does not become gray when dirty, not at all. I actually find that true Silver colors (titanium, etc., but not grigio alloy) look very nice but not stunning like a jet black or to a lesser extent, Grigio Alloy. That is just the nature of virtually all true silvers of any manufacturer. And this is coming from a guy (myself) who often chooses true silvers due to ease of keeping clean, but I liked how Grigio is a bit different so figured why not, even if it might be a bit feminine.

3. On resale, based on the transaction #'s I've heard for 360's of a variety of colors, Grigio Alloy firm trade-in offers were virtually the same as for red and black 360 trade-ins.

Bottom line is you're getting what you like and enjoy the ride! And go for Tubis, too. Absolute music to the ears.

Thanks for reading.

With regard to the Grigio Titanium, its a very "safe" color, it does not offend anyone, it looks good, in the sun, but when its cloudy or overcast it looks kind of dull, it really needs a bright color or light color interior to make it "work". Titanium with black interior is not really a good combo. Although resale is fine, I would recommend you go for the tradtional reds or the grigio blue.

Grigio seems to get thumbs up whenever I see people, not sure what resale will be like, not sure it matters on a car with a 3 year wait.
