    Was having this discussion with @aaronrgonz - what is the worst Ferrari color? He said silver/gray, which led me to find a counter example, the 550. I think the 550 is one of the best looking Fcars ever, and the best looking silver Ferrari by a long shot. A great example:

    To me, it is the hood scoop that really sets off that car.

    I would expect that if someone were to gather a photo of every hood scoop ever put on a car, the 550 would certainly have to be in the top 3.

    I generally don't like silver/grey cars. The current trend (in the UK ) is monochrome colours.

    However, I particularly like Grigio Titanio on a 550 or 575 when combined with a light leather interior and blue carpets.

    It's the blue hue that GT paint has that makes the difference to me. Important that there are no shields or loud brake caliper colours. This colour scheme is all about low key class and the antithesis of "Look at me I'm driving a Ferrari!"

    The quintessential Maranello paint is Grigio Titanio, which looks great with Burgundy, Cuoio, Beige, Black, Blue or any other color interior. Looks great with red calipers, too.

    I owed an argento 550. Imo titanio is the best looking 550. I own a rosso corsso 550 now. 355 berlinetta is the best looking Ferrari in argento imho

    Everything stated here applies to the 456 as well.

    Yes, only the 550 looks better than the 456

    Sergio Pininfarina himself said that silver is the best colour for the 550 (and I think maybe all of his cars). I would agree if only I didn’t have a blue one...

    I have seen a white 512BBi. The color did not agree with me.

    Grigio Alloy

    Best of both worlds :D

    I prefer silver over titaneo. But darker colors show off a good detail job better.

    For me, the best would be a Scuderia with a nice contrasting stripe.
