    Grey over Green. Who would have ever thought it.

    I gotta say I like it. I get it. But then I am probably deliberately swimming against a tide of silver/black, blue/tand and heaven forbid red/everything

    Will it impact its sale price and resale value - no doubt.

    It's not an obvious choice. It's barely even a choice for some people. But as an former owner of vintage Ferrari (250 PF Coupe) as well as a 456/GTA...I kind of dig it.

    What do you think...

    I like the gray. Is it Canna De Fusil?
    I'd have to see interior in person to form an opinion.

    Canna di Fucile or Silverstone.
    I love the outside, my favorite color.
    I'd swap out the green bits for gray or beige and put the originals in storage somewhere.

    Yep looks like Canna di Fucile to me. Very elegant colour on the 456.

    Canna di Fucile over Black would be such an easy choice....however pale Grey like the Schumacher edition I could live with :)

    But green...green is just ballsy.

    Completely agree. Having owned a '59 PF Coupe I think that's whats really making this appeal to me. Then again I am obsessed with this Series 1 Cabriolet and always have been....you can see the pattern :)

    I’d personally go for it. I love oddball color schemes especially considering every new car today is either white, black or silver. Especially highline cars. Seems nobody has a sense of adventure anymore.

    In person, that green interior will look a lot darker than it does in photos. I had a Giallo Fly Daytona with a dark green interior and it looked quite good.

    I think it looks great and more bespoke than the more standard color schemes.

    Absolutely a superb color combo. I had a Nero Daytona met. with green 456M. and it was very special. Perhaps not my first choice, but more interesting than all the blue/beige and silver/black etc. The green is quite dark, but sometimes in certain light conditions, it become more like mint green..

    As other said, it's a fantastic color combination.
    It manages to blend late '50s granturismo elegance and '90s extravagance. Let's not forget green interiors were a thing back then, see e.g. green suede Recaros on the Delta HF integrale, two-tone black/teal on the 8-series BMW, Nephrite Green interior on Porsche 993s etc.

    Definitely wouldn't be my preference but with the gated shifter, lots of things can be overlooked.

    Just wondering how many of the kermit interior fans would actually consider buying a car like this without a sig. discount. For me "resale" green is out.

    I'm one of the blue/tan guys and I like that! Canna de Fusil is a great color and that interior is a nice balance of the black and green. Why the hell not.....

    I’d pay more for it. Really goes with the elegance of the 456. It’s not a hot rod. It’s a thoroughbred.
