Best Blue for 296

Here is Azzurro 592 next to Celeste 590 for comparison. I put the Connolly Vaumol VM3015 leather sample next to the Celeste swatch as tonally it is a perfect match. Ferrari used to to call this shade of blue leather "Nuvola" when they fitted Connolly hides as their standard leather. Sadly Connolly leather is only available via Tailor Made or else I may well have used it in my Celeste 296.

And here is a photo of my Celeste 590 car. It does not present as green in any way.

That looks pretty good! I think it’ll work the blu sterling too as they’re both pretty dark. I have a thing against black and grey in cars (I know, I’m difficult).

Wow the Connolly is really great. Tell me more about this tailor made thing, can one just ask for it? I’m assuming it’s crazy money. (It’s my first time speccing a Ferrari).

Dealers are given a limited number of Tailor Made build slots. It's a programme that opens up a whole range of exclusive paint, leather and interior trim personalisation options and is expensive. I believe it is usually only offered to select customers but you would need to ask your dealer to confirm this. It adds a considerable delay to order lead times.

WOW. I love this dark blue and even the colored seats. Probably my favorite blue so far.

I think the very light blue is another good choice on the other end of the Spectrum.

 

Very nice indeed.

Beautiful car, enjoy it. Touch of Glass is outstanding, have done few/many cars with Anthony, truly an artist and passionate. They did my Blu Elettrico F8 Spider a couple of years ago and my Blu LeMans 296 GTB last year. Dealer threw in front PPF so I am enjoying my GTS but will bring to Anthony soon for more PPF/paint correction and ceramic.

 

This is my 2023 TDF Blue 296 GTB. I get a lot of compliments on the color. I also have a Rosso Corsa SF 90 Stradale and don't get near as many compliments on it.

Love these tone on tone blues. Mine's Pozzi over sterling with red accents inside and out.

 

Can someone tell the difference between these 2 colours (Blu elettrico vs Blu elettrico 2020)?

 

In Europe ( not sure about the US ) you can get any color without going through Tailor Made as long as it’s a color that Ferrari has done before and that wasn’t made exclusively for a specific customer. So if you saw a 458 speciale 15 years ago in a not standard color you can have your new Ferrari in the same color, often however the problem is to know the exact name of that color used.
This for example is my 296 in Blu Katara , a blue you don’t come across very often

Is it Blu Elettrico or Blu Elettrico 2020?

 

Nuovo luci di mezzanotte , also very nice shade of blue

2020.

The old BE has a bit more metallic flake and is a touch brighter. I think the cost for the original BE is 2x the 2020 shade.

My BE was $37K

BE

 

Ordered a BLU Elettrico 2020 which is status 90 - headed eventually for Scottsdale, AZ. Grigio Corvara interior. Not sure how the old BE could be twice the 2020 BE since the 2020 BE was $38K!

My 2024 GTB Blu Electrico 20 paint was $16k. Ferrari figured out that it was underpriced and changed it most likely.

I'm going by a price list my dealer had - maybe it was wrong. Did you get an invoice with that price on it for the paint?

 

Mine was quoted as $16K when I placed the spec order. When arrived, the invoice price was $37K

 

Yes. $16,874.
