Thumbs up Grigio Scuro colored 599 GTO

Gotta give respect to a guy named Peloton25 who does amazing work with his info in regards to exotics, specifically the McLaren F1. He took pics of a buds new 599 GTO and the color is from Ferrari's vintage collection.

Grigio Scuro=The Italian phrase for mixing all your different paint colours together and seeing what happens

It looks so many different shades/colors depending on how the light hits it and what the camera captures. In the end you end up with sex on wheels though...

Sorry, guys. I respect all of your opinions, but a greenish/grayish/brownish mix like that is just not for me....especially on a classic sports car. To me, it looks something that Soldiers or Marines would wear for camoflauge.

Love it, and I LOVE all of the vintage Ferrari colors. They look so great on the new cars

Not feeling this color at all. Reminds me of when I was in elementary school doing hand paintings and going overboard. Mixing all the colors just makes this putty grey. Quite unattractive imo.

That particular grey is not that enticing.

It lacks pearlescence and depth. There is little reflective quality. The color in general is gloomy and depressing.

The Ferrari looks great. That's the only good thing about it.

Look amazing, in real life when you see a paint like this it just shines and sparkles in different hues in different lighting. Internet pictures can't show you that. I remember seeing a car painted just like this, except it wasn't as exotic! The paint is awesome. This ferrari is awesome. This is definitely unique, maybe not to the taste of everyone but in my eyes it's awesome.
