    I have seen some in person.
    To find the right color on a Lambo is not an easy issue. They offer too many.

    @Thecadster - when it comes to spec- less is more. The Nero matte free paint with tricolor trim would be epic. If you already had ve gray cars, the black would be a nice complement.

    CGT’s have all dried up at the moment and the prices have gone mental!


    May the Horse be with you

    Yes. Just restrict yourself to the four standard colors.
    White, grey, black and green.:)

    The main reason is not Ferrari. It is the GPF.

    I like this combination.
    Grigio Lynx and a fancy contrast color. Could also be orange or yellow.
    Just perfect.

    Put a little red on the hood just in front of the windshield and I think you have a winner.

    In addition to the other options I am considering (Nero Noctis with matte PPF, Blu Lemans, Blu Grifo), I am now seriously considering British Racing Green over tan leather. My inspiration is a BRG Senna I saw on YouTube along with an Oak Green Metallic over tan leather Senna.

    If I can make a decision this week, I can have the car in August. So it’s time for me pull the trigger, unless I want to push it back to the next round of allocations. My dealer is a Super Trofeo participant and I think they might be getting a different allocation methodology.

    Here's those inspiration videos:

    BRG is a great color. It might be a bit too sedate for a car like the STO but it’s very nice regardless. I’m personally a fan of darker interiors but brg and tan should look good. Congrats. Can’t wait to see it.

    Not a big fan of BRG with tan interior as it is excessively sedate for the STO. Go for a unique color that is rare and new. Your STO should be a personal statement that pops. Exciting but not gaudy or over the top.

    My friend spec'd out a Verde Hydra Perf and wanted to do a tan interior. My SA, the GM and owner of the dealership had to stop him from doing it because it would be near impossible for them to sell on trade in.

    He ended up doing black interior with gold stitch, kept it for a year before trading it in for an Aventador and my dealer couldn't sell the car locally. Eventually it ended up in the States.

    This is the issue with highly bespoke paints and specs, it's tailored to your personal taste but not everyone is going to like it.

    Very valid point. Unless you select a "Highly Bespoke Paint" that almost everybody loves, which Ferrari has plenty of and I am sure Lamborghini does as well.

    Agreed. I like it as well. It is indeed different. However, as @SLDriver just mentioned, it may suffer from loneliness and "ugly" dog in shelter syndrome at the time of resale.

    With that said, I like the color this one more. I would probably select a hybrid between the two. The body color of this one with the details of the previous one.

    If you go with a brighter green, it will work well.

    So I just got word from my dealer that British Racing Green is not available even as a AdP offering. The closest they can get is Verde Hydra, which just isn’t near close enough to BRG. Cool color, but has a metallic quality, where BRG is more flat. Back to the drawing board.
