    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?

    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.

    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.

    Azzuro California does not look black when dark!

    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.

    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......
