How the heck do you pick a color!

This will be my first Ferrari. An FF in tour de France with cuoio was what drew me in London dealer. Now I can't decide between that, silverstone or some other amazing grigio shade (that alone is a daunting decision) or even Avorio. Ooh Vinnacio,,,,

I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide. And I've already paid the deposit!

ANY Suggestions?

 

It is difficult to make a decision but one way is to look at other painted cars of the same paint and interior combo's. It may take some legwork but when you see a 599 for example in a certain color, that may give you a clue.

The other way is to work with the Altelier program in Maranello. The dealer can arrange this. You have to go to Italy but let's face it, you're buying one rather expensive machine. You want to get it right.

Good luck in your choice. We all agonize over this no matter how many we have purchased before.

 

have a look thru the picture threads , then pic a colour thats really grabs you

i also think ferrari will paint the car any colour you want if you will pay

 

IMO TDF looks much better than any of the Grey. I would argue TDF and Grigio Nring are the best colors for the FF.

 

thanks guys. i think i may be driving my dealer a bit nuts!

 

I very nearly bought the TdF/Cuoio FF you're talking about if it was the HRO car. I ended up buying a Grigio Silverston/Beige car from another dealer. If you haven't seen a GS car in the metal and want to, PM me (assuming you're still in London) and we can arrange it.
Cheers,

Thanks John. Yes it was at HR Owen. Mark the salesman is a terrifc guy. I am back inb the states now. I hope to return soon though. That car sold the day afetr I saw it. NO matter to me as the steering wheel was on the wrong side for some reason!

 

I think the dark colours really suit the car, black, blue, dark red... Saw my first FF in the metal today at the local dealer - it is metalic black and to me is absolutely the best looking car I have seen for decades

 

Only seeing is believing. Opinions are OK but it is how the color strikes you that counts. Forget about the configurator; it is useless for color. Photos can be deceiving because camera and reproduction color fidelity is iffy. Real color chips in person are next up in usefulness. Then seeing real colors on real front engine V12s is next. Real FFs are best of all. Each step in this progression takes more work. It's up to you how much the effort is worth.

 

just pick the colour that really excites you- on a purchase like this do not worry about resale!

 

You have to have the mindset to understand that if you deviate from traditional colors your choices are every other color there is. This is daunting and you will never get "the most beautiful" color because this is impossible and unknown to anyone. Also remember all Ferraris are beautiful and once you make your studied decision you will be as right as you can be. Don't look back and just go for it. All the colors you mentioned are wonderful and a good starting or ending place.We have some very intelligent and experienced Ferrari folks here but when it comes to picking your color you are really the only one that matters( well,maybe the wife, if applicable ).

 

Glad to see other people facing the same dilemma. It took me from June to October to decide. My first Ferrari was easy, Roso Corsa after that Roso Fueco after that ....have time to decide.

 

How about your school or sports team colors? Example: my current Corvette is black and its predecessor S2000 CR was yellow, for the www.steelers.com, and before that was a red S2000 for www.ncsu.edu, and next could be something close to Biscayne Green or Burnt Orange for www.miami.edu. Well really I need at least three cars.

I've seen at least three FFs in person, one Grigio Titanio, one Rosso Mugello, and I think the third one was black, and looked the best. I would suggest Bianco Avus. There was a thread a few months back of a super beautiful Bianco FF. I could envision Steelers stripes on mine.
