Best color for an F355

Not sure any 355's were sprayed in Azzuro.
There are 5 on www.f355registry.com.

no known 430's
Well, there's at least a couple of Scuderias in that colour. Several of the press vehicles in the tests I've seen were Azzurro California. I also seem to remember that the Fifth Gear 430 spider (the one in their commercial break snippet) is Azzurro California. It certainly is a light metallic blue.

Up till recently it was a bit of a forgotten colour but recently I've seen it more and more, particularly on the new California of course.

Primary colours are great for the F355. Red, Yellow. But black is just awesome!

I must go with black since this is what I opted for when I bought mine, with beige interior. I just had it detailed and now it looks just stunning. tough color to keep after but when its clean... ojojoj

Those 430's and Scuderia's were not Azzuro.

That blue was a new derivative of Azzuro but it has a different name, and I forgot what it is called.

There is also Mirabeau that was sprayed on one or two 360's in 2002 that looks like Azzuro as well. That color I have personally seen.

The promo California is Azzuro.

In the 2006 into of the 599 at Pebble I inquired about Azzuro and I was told that color was not planned for the 599.

So I doubt any 599's were yet sprayed in Azzuro.

I respectfully disagree. I can't access YouTube myself but Google tells me this clip shows an Azzurro California 430 Scuderia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6pdsCSOR6A

And the Scud below is certainly Azzurro California.

BTW - Azzurro is just Italian for (light) blue. There are several Azzurro's in Ferrari's history. The colour we were talking about was Azzurro California.

That Scuderia is not Azzuro.

And so you know, Azzuro is a special formulation mixed for Enzo after his first visit to Monterey, CA, in the late 50's.

So while the term refers to "blue" it is it's own color.

And I am referring to Azzuro California and I speak from personal knowledge!

That color is so beautiful and unique:)
 
As I stated, there are different blues but there is only one Azzuro California!

The Scuderia is blue medio metallico

Pozzi blue is one of the very few non-metallic colors and it is beautiful.

It needs a tan or cuoio interior to really shine.
