    Sorry to cause pain. I love argento it is a classy look and understated. but next to rosso corsa and with the barcetta wheels they don't even look like the same car. I never liked the 550 in red in pictures. I never liked barchetta wheels. But in real life the combo really pops. Some people really have an eye for what looks good. I lack that creativity until I see it.

    Green looks stunning on these. Really suits the character of the car and will probably age pretty well.

    I love my red 550. I also like the yellow and some of the blues.... But when I was looking to buy I never really considered anything but red Rosso corso...

    I was too,,,,,, but I can't deny that other colors are also very good such as silver colors,,,
    I am thinking to buy one again (I sold before) and I want to be very deliberate this time,,,,

    I remember a white one with red leather interior and it was a 3 pedal. That was my favorite no questions asked. I cant find pics now of it sorry. Yellow was my favorite before I saw the white one. As for other colors I am not a fan of green on any Ferrari myself.

    Me too. Not so much into prettiness but more into Red, yellow and silver colors. However some shades of blue are also cool too.

    If I can't buy the white one, I may have to resort to a Wrap on my Rosso Barchetta color. That body style really looks sharp in White. And, I usually can't stand a white ferrari. But the 550 looks super, and I like the red inside.

    Just an FYI...I have had multiple ferraris before not all red. It seems that two of the most popular colors are argento/nero and RossoCorsa/Tan. I happen to own both Argento and red colors of 550 at the same time. For the first time in many years took a long ride in a red Ferrari from a local cars N' coffee and later to lunch that involved miles on the freeway and back. At Cars N' Coffee an enthusiast who is looking to buy a 550 offered to buy my red car. Twenty minutes on the way from the freeway, I got people hiding in the blind spot while driving "sitting there" I guess checking out the car. Efforts by me to move are responded to with pace. On the freeway I got tail gaters and lookers at the shiny red 550 swerving around making me nervous. Keep your eyes on the road people! The CHP were out in force as part of their post 4th patrols and in a rare occasion 2 motors in unusual places are lasering the freeway. A car is speeding past me at over 80 #3 lane as I am dead on 68mph making eye contact with the cop as I go by in the #4 lane and his laser is clearly focused at me as the nondescript 4 door wizzs by us both. I now remember why I bought my original 550 in Argento. The Ferrari was for me. Nobody cares. Nobody looks. In argento I'm just another Toyota Camry. Weird! I thought everyone went bonkers for the 8 cylinder cars.

    I've had the same experience with my '00 Grigio Ingrid many times, yet it seems pretty innocuous on the freeway to the CHP.

    My red/tan 355 was a real cop magnet though.
