    Appreciate any input here. 95% spec agreed but finding it very tricky to decide on exterior colour (inside would work with either). Most available photos are so heavily edited and not managed to see these in the flesh and obviously want to make the right decision. Considering either a darker grey (canna di fucile) or a metallic blue - blu Le Mans, blu America, blu Hembery (?) type. Has anyone had similar ?- I think I have seen most of the photos on other threads etc but any thoughts most welcome- or any other suggestions..

    Blu America is nice Paul, almost black. If I was going the dark blue route that would be my choice.
    Nice choice to have ordering a GTS.

    I spec'ed mine recently and decided to do some colour spray outs using speed shapes. It's fairly easy to do as you can order aerosol cans of the colours you are interested in along with the speed shapes online. You can get a bodyshop to do some for you if you don't fancy doing it yourself. It lets you live with the colours for a bit of time and see them in various lights as opposed to just a quick viewing in a dealership of their colour samples (and often they don't have out of range colours in any case). I started this practice when restoring my Dinos and then revived it when spec'ing my Roma last year. Blu America was one of the colours I considered for my GTS but I didn't go for it in the end.

    I believe Carrs in Exeter have a blue tdf and a blue electric in at the moment if you can get down to see them.

    there is a blue lemans one around; saw at seywell this year; looked stunning. There are some pictures I think in one of the foc magazines; so if you contact the editor he would probably drop you a copy!

    love the blues; but now also very partial to the greens!

    Looks good - fair bit lighter than blu America but darker than tdf? Is it a 2/3 layer metallic? so many blues these days - saw blu Helene the other day - list seems endless! Nightmare !
