    Grigio Medio? I'd show your local dealer and or compare it to their paint sample panels.

    CdF or Grigio Ferro is my guess. Looks too dark to be Scuro.

    It looks like Grigio Scuro to me, too, though I admit the lighting makes it look darker than Scuro typically looks in direct light. That gunship green undertone is typical of Scuro. CdF has a brown base, which this does not seem to have, and Ferro has a more liquid looking application. That said, not 100% sure.

    OK, here's the millionth opinion but I honestly believe I'm correct :D

    Portuguese Speciale is Grigio Scuro, I have no doubt about it. The first link to flickr proves it 100%. In recent moths I've spent quite a lot of time trying to discern Medio from Scuro, looking for pictures and vids everywhere, as well as my own pictures and observation.

    The other references in this thread are also correct IMO: The 458 Italia by Jason Thorgalsen is a well known Medio. The youtube 458 italia is also Medio but a low light setting. The YT 599 GTO is most probably Scuro as they state but an indoor light setting.

    Grigio Scuro has a brown hue to me, whereas medio lacks it.

    Also, it's clearly not metallic so Ferro, CdF, etc. are out of the question.

    So yeah, I'm still set on Grigio Scuro for the Portuguese Speciale, 110% ;)

    Hope that helped.
