    I am really confused on which color combo to pick for the car of my dreams. I was thinking of black and beige leather then I was thinking of the dark gray with what they call cuio leather and now I am thinking this new diamond white with maybe cuio for the inside.

    I know it's a personal thingy but I really apreciate your input especially that I have not seen many different colors in person.

    Thanks

    Judging from what cars I have seen in person, I'd say that, to me anyways, the 612 is a better looking car in the darker colors, as opposed to the lighter ones.

    I think the 612 look stunning in Metalic black with gray leather, and black daytona inserts all tied together with black stitching. Gray dashboard top and black bottom, black carpets. Just MHO

    i love white... but don't get the get curse of the white ferrari!

    black with natural or grey with some sort of tan will be gorgeous... and easy to sell


    as far as grey interiors... personally, i think grey interiors are the worst interiors for cars and especially ferraris. too little emotion for a ferrari. they just aren't vibrant enough. Also, the grey is more difficult to keep clean, and to me... there is little reward. again... this is just my personal opinon. I would never purchase a ferrari with a grey interior... it would have to be about half price in order for me to take a car with a grey interior.

    A Grigio Ingrid 612 has a nice piece of history associated with it- the 612 takes some styling cues (like the scalloped sides) from the 375MM that Roberto Rosselini purchased as a wedding gift for Ingrid Bergman. Grigio Ingrid was a custom color first commissioned for her.

    That said, I saw 2 612s side by side on the Geneva stage. The first was Grigio Ingrid with a Cuoio leather interior. Classic, subtle, elegant. The second was nero with dark grey leather, carbon fiber accents, GTC package, etc. Much meaner and sportier looking- like something that Darth Vader would drive to his house in the country. Great example of how personalization can give two totally different characters to the same model.

    I think that would look great on a 612. Personally, I would go with a black upper dash with black steering wheel. Get contrasting stitching done in the interior and black inserts on seats as well.

    You could probably find any color combo you wanted for sale lightly used somewhere and save yourself a TON of money because the resale value of that thing is going to drop like a rock.

    I would go with black stitching on the cuoio portion and tan or cuoio stitching on the black dash and steering wheel. I would get black piping if you were to get piping. I am not a fan of piping though so I would just go with the contrasting stitching.
