TDF looks terrible on a dark day, what does Mirabeau look like by comparison ?
I love blue. I had a 2002 porsche 996 tt in cobalt blue which always got thumbs up when I was in south beach. Mirabeau is very similar and I think will get the similar response from onlookers. Should I snap a few pics to help your decision?
You may want to consider Pozzi Blue. Flat Paint. Very Dark Blue. Very rich. www.worsey.net/carpix.html
Richard, Mirabeau is a light metallic blue similar to Azzuro California but a bit more green-blue. It is a beautiful color and I have seen it in person on a 360 spider. It too is a very rarely used color. It is a beautiful choice and would make make a beautiful car.

Fascinating. I had never heard of Mirabeau and always thought TDF was great (have not seen on a dark day). Pozzi is lovely as well, but a bit dark for many.
Here's the Azzuro California for comparison. Pozzi is very nice but it's quite dark and non-metallic. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I was just at the dealer today and analyzed five blue colors - TDF, Mirabeau, Nart, Possi, and Abu Dhabi. The dealers have aluminum panels painted in all the colors offered by Ferrari. Mirabeau is a pure/true blue whereas the other blues are darker, more purple, more navy, etc. At dusk most of the blues could look almost black whereas Mirabeau is clearly a blue blue. Hope this helps.
^ your wheels really transform that color. Great combo. Seen your avatar on my forums but never a full pic!
You're correct! I forgot about Azzuro. The dealer did not have an example of one in their presentation case. Azurro is even lighter than mirabeau.
They are both beautiful colors. here's another shot of my Azzuro California car. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I also saw a Grigio Alloy recently. I seemed like a sort of Silvery Blue. Or Silver with hints of blue in it. This one had a Blue dash and carpets too, with tan interior. Actually looked pretty nice. Not really a "Blue" car but......
