    without having a vast knowledge of all the colors I can't say there are any colors I would definitely never own. Some particular colors I hate look good on certain models, etc. For example, I would never own that white F430, but I would take that white Enzo in a heartbeat.

    with that said, my 2 favorite colors are Rosso Dino and TDF Blue

    Not a color preference, but I would not take a Spider. I just like the look of a coupe a helluva lot more.

    The pale yellow seen on some 575 models lately looks rather tepid. It is not a very strong color. Something like 'Fly Yellow' would be much more fun to live with! I can see it now with a green interior...

    For me, white is my favorite color on 355s, 360s and 430s. Oh, and that white Enzo is incredible! I think white is the next big trend in Fcars. Look at how many were in that series of photos leaving the factory...
    The worst... IMHO, GREEN!

    There's no colour i actively dislike, but I wouldn't ever buy a rosso corsa ferrari unless it was a 288GTO, F40 or F50. Don't know why exactly - other than those 3 models there are other colours that I prefer

    I think I have to agree with you. Except that if I were to get an F50 I would want black. I've always thought that Ferrari's looked the best in colors other than red.

    Yellow.

    It looks incredible on Dinos, phenomenal on 355s, and IMO not so great on pretty much everything else. It's too much of an attention magnet for me to buy/drive any Ferrari that color.

    I like to 'discover' cars when I spot them - I'm not a fan of the Enzo, but I pulled up behind a black one outside a shopping mall last year and it took a few seconds to register in the Ferrari part of my brain. Then it did and I really liked it. Probably why I ended up buying a black Ferrari.

    I'm also a huge fan of the rosso rubino (?) rossa metallizato colors, but probably wouldn't buy them because they're not "pure" red.

    Yellow in anything other than a 3x8, black in anything, and I really do like Prugna in 308's(and 328's although I'm wondering if it was available in them. White and silver also.

    I spent a summer cleaning cars for an auto auction and whenever a white car rolled through it was awful. White looks great, but is so dang hard to keep clean!

    Black, green and prugna or aubergine (eggplant) are the colours I would never own.

    Love it. It seems to be the definative color for all Ferrari's but I cannot get past the fact that the color is a magnet for speeding tickets. The color is just much more visible. With Nero Metallizzato, the car does seem to 'blend in'

    Rossa Corsa...yes it's the pinnacle Ferrari color, but it is far too popular.

    Any green. I love it, but I don't see myself ever owning a green vehicle, unless it's an Aston Martin. My family had a green Suburban, the green monster wore on me.

    Silver (not dark silvers, but the lighter ones). I drive a "lunar mist metallic" vehicle right now. After 7 years of it, the silver is boring to me.

    What colors WOULD I buy?

    Black, even though it's unbearable to keep clean and looking good. It just looks so sexy when it's in top shape.

    TDF blue, I think deep blues look very classy on exotics. But they need to have tan or the almost white, creme interiors.

    White, a major underdog classy color, IMO.

    Yellow, for a long time I was against yellow. But it just looks so good on certain models.

    I like a lot of colors, but for me a Ferrari has to be Rossa Corsa (red). I wouldn't buy any other color.

    I like the TDF blue I've seen on a F430, but I wouldn't buy one in that color.

    I'll probably never buy any thing but black.

    No red and no black for me.
    Funny, all my daily drivers are black(Mercedes) but, no, would never buy a black Ferrari; especially a 3X8 series.

    If i buy an Enzo if will mos def be in that color, purple Ferraris are crazy. I couldn't see myself in a green Ferrari, there ugly, I could live with the other colors but red is by far the best.

    I really like the dark blues but I will not buy one because I like the more sporty colors better on most models. I do like red, black, yellow,and the new grigio silverstone.
