    I saw a light blue F430 today, and really didn't find that colour very good looking on that car, and I've never seen any F-car in that colour before. Anyway, what is the proper name of the 'light blue' colour? I'd just like to find more pictures online and i couldn't really get anything in the search. Also could anyone post any pictures they might have of F-cars in this colour? Might change my mind about it :). Thanks

    Are there any similar blues? Because what i saw seemed to be a bit more blue, but still a very light colour. Or maybe just looks a little different in real life

    I think that Blu Mirabu color is a little too solid blue to be what i saw, it was much more close to the Grigio Alloy colour. It just didnt seem so metallic when i saw it and more of a baby blue though, but if there isn't anything else close then i guess thats it. Does anyone have a good shot of an F430 in that colour?

    Thanks, thats definitely the color :). Guess the lighting really does affect the appearance. It doesn't look too bad on the spider model, better than the normal F430, but i still think the colour is too 'light' for my taste

    I believe there was also a California Azzuro or something like that which seemed like Grigio but bluer.

    Fell in love with the Azzuro California color the first time I saw the repainted F50.

    I bet that looks GOOOOOOOOD!

    Don't think I've seen an F430 in Azzuro. Anyone got a pic?

    Don't know if any 430's have been painted in Azzuro. Maybe Carbon would know.

    His figures for 360's were 24 spiders total and I had read somewhere there were only 6 coupes for a total of 30 in this color!

    I would bet less than 1/2 that number came to the US.

    I know of only 3 360 coupes here in US-mine with dark blue interior, one with sabbia int and 6 speed (was at Concorso last year), and one in SoCal that has bordeaux int.

    Love to know if any 430's done!

    Carbon?

    I don't think Azzuro California was available on the F430s. At the Ferrari showroom on Park Avenue, they insisted that it wasn't available, and it also wasn't on the big display of all the colors available. I wish it were available, though. Beautiful color.

    I would say this is grigio.

    The azzuro is slightly lighter in person but not as light as the grigio, and the grigio is very nice as well.

    Any colour is available on F430's. You can choose a 'standard' colour, pay extra for an 'out of range' colour (effectively a colour used as a standard colour in the past) pay even more to have it in any colour you like.

    I know that. I am well aware that money will get you "unavailable" things from Ferrari. Ahh, the power of money with Ferrari.

    I thought that it was just "azzuro chiaro".
