    I am in the market for 355. I have seen quite a few of the colors but I don't think I've seen the Titanium. It seems a bit darker (from pictures) than silver - almost charcoal gray. One picture made it look like a tinge of blue in it. Right now, I'm considering red or blue. I haven't seen some of the darker shades of red in person. I like the yellow too but I already have a yellow car ('91 Lotus Elan) and I don't want to get another one (I'm keeping the Lotus). What do you guys think? BTW, I definitely don't want black - I used to have a black car and it looked great except the second you turn your back it gathers dust like nobody's business. I've had a red car before and loved it. The only issue is that I feel like I might be narrowing down my search too much by limiting to red or blue.

    It depends on the kind of attention you want. Yellow leaps off the road and driving it is like being a rock star. Sometimes it's a little scary. People chase me thru traffic, follow me and of course tons of pictures.

    I like the Rosso Barchetta color. It is a rich-looking maroonish red and is the color on my 1998 F355B.

    Oh yes indeed. I wanted to sell my manual (in the pic) for a Rosso barchetta F1, but the coulor was used in 95 and 96 on the spiders, there are later GTBs and GTS that i have seen in this coulor on this site, but from what i have gatherd the custumer had to special order it for there car after 97.
    So i took my car back of the market becourse i could not find a simular rosso barchetta spider but in F1.

    I have always liked the silver tones...Argento Nurburing (silver),Titanium (darker than silver/like charcoal) and my car Grigio Alloy (ice silverish blue)...these colors to me almost seemed to make the car crisper, more elegant, classier or cleaner?...actually I can't find the correct words to describe.

    Either way a nice choice!

    Here's a few ideas - guess which would get my first vote??? BTW, red car is rosso monza; rosso fiorano looks great as well. I saw a fiorano car with crema interior and blood red carpets in Sydney several years ago that was absolutely gorgeous. TdF or blu LeMans over crema, with dark blue carpets, is my #1 however.

    Cheers

    I have a '98 GTS in Rosso Barchetta. The first comment I usually receive when someone sees the car for the first time is how much they like the color. This comes from both Ferrari enthusiasts and non-Ferrari enthusiasts. Car people and non-car people.

    I have had Black on Black, Red (Rosso Coroso) on Black, Red (Barchetta) on Tan and Modena Yello on Black. The only colour I would not get again is the Black. I almost bought a Silver on Black but it was Berlinetta and I new I would regret not having a GTS so I chose the Yellow. Don't be to fixed on the colour, think of the whole package instead.

    Mine is Rosso Corsa on Black interior.
    However, I also have the Racing Seats with the red inserts which highlights the inside of the car.
    Having the carpets, door trim etc inside in black, not only looks smart, but is also very seviceable (no scuff marks etc.)

    Silver & black looks great, don't you think?

    You don't have to wash frequently as other darker colors, too.

    Yellow/Black.

    The Yellow Spider that Nicholas Cage "Borrows" from the Valet in The Rock, is the Sweetest 355 ever.

    A close 2nd to Red, very close.

    The 355 spider look good in Red with light colored interior.
