I'd say Beige. Definitely not Crema.

 

I don't know that the VIN will be too revealing, but I too would say your car's interior is Beige 4208, certainly not Cuoio, which looks to me more like the color of a baseball glove. In the US Beige seems to be the most popular, while in Europe I've noticed a preference for Sabbia and Crema.

 

I had a Rosso Fiorano and cream 360 and can confirm that the interior is not cream which is much much lighter and closer to white.

 

That's definitely NOT creme! I had a Euro 308 w/creme and it was almost white in some light.

It looks like beige

 

I would say, with almost a 100% level of certainty, that you have the standard beige leather.
Unless the picture is so off (and it's not considering all the other parts of the car look normal) it's definitely not crema.

Does this color chart look any different on your computer. I did a little color temperature correction and made sure the color space was correct for non color aware browsers. This SHOULD be an improvement in accuracy, but it's hard to be sure working from a downloaded photo. This is all photo mumbo-jumbo and need not concern anyone who's not interested in such trivia. Bottom line: When you're trying to display colors, especially on the Internet, accuracy is often more of a dream than a reality. I hope this picture will be more accurate, but no guarantees.

Keep in mind that this is a very small sample of the available interior colors offered by Ferrari.

By the way, it may or may not look better on your computer, depending on several factors.

Here's a try at color correcting the interior shot. This is even more risky since there is little to go on when it comes to the correct color temperature. It may or may not be accurate and it may or may not help the OP.

Remember, this is the Internet and any fool can post anything.......... including me.

That's makes sense, it would be a 0 for countries other than the USA

 

Alan- Using MODIS, the dealer can print either a build sheet or an option sheet, either of which will have the leather and other color codes.

That leather sample photo came from a dealer display and is all the standard leather colors offered when your 360 and my 575M were new. When the F430 and 612 were introduced, new leather colors were offered.

With little doubt, you have a beige interior, the most popular interior color choice for US buyers.

 

For a crema comparison, just take a look a few threads up at the F430 CNC is selling. The seats look almost white to your beige.

 

It's beige, no doubt about it. This is crema.... http://universalautosports.com/inventory/stock-136560/

 

As someone who is new to this site and to Ferrari in general, grazie, Ira. I have spent considerable time and energy trying, in vain, to access this very information. The previous owner referred to the colors of the 456 GTA as "black" and "tan" while describing the exterior and interior of the car, respectively. I suspected that Ferrari were a bit more artistic in their description of the car's color palette.
So while this information is "old news" to the loyal enthusiasts, it is extremely helpful to those of us who are new to the Ferrari fold.
You have my sincere thanks, Ira.

 

I also like reading these older threads. Always info that I retain.

Thanks Mark

 

Crema is very light. A bit too light for me.
