Any colour but red picture thread

[67Dino]

I was wondering if it wasn’t just Ferraris that were often red in the 1980s, I think cars generally were more often red, so thought I’d see if I could find some data.

Couldn’t find a graph for UK going back to the 1980s but this one shows red used to be more popular:

Also found this one from the US of all car sales, new and used, which shows red being more popular:


And finally for completeness, a comparison globally, as there are some interesting regional differences:

But sometimes a V8 just has to be red....

Not a lover of red but have to admit that a GTO and F40 doesn't look quite wright in any other colour.

Go on then, my Blu Elettrico 812....

That’s the best colour for the 812 in my opinion. Gorgeous car.

since it is a V8 thread, here's one standing out from the red crowd....

If that GTB was red you wouldn't even notice it, it would just blend in like the others.

Reminds me of most Ferrari meeting i go to in my silver GTB surrounded by a sea of red ,

Thank you!

My favourite touch is the Grigio Silverstone finished TDF wheels, which play of the blu so much nicer than either silver or black.

Only if you are the Sultan of Brunei...

Weirdly I find that f40 outside a lovely colour in that grey - I just can’t get along with Red leather though . . I’m looking for a Cali T or portofino at the moment and so many portofinos have red leather - is it a fashion thing ? I’m afraid I only really like boring black leather . .

I think I can post this now as deal done. Rosso Fuoco (it’s not red)

Love Rosso Fuoco - is that the ex CarGuys 488?

I'm going to guess not .. as the car in the picture is a 458.

Yeah, Blu Elettrico is simply an incredible colour

Dirty black from yesterday

When looking for my Ferrari, red was not my first colour choice. TDF was top, with Nero with crema or Dark Silver with Bordeaux leather second, red third

If I had gone for a 430 yellow would have been ahead of red.

[lambo666]

If you have the time I would love more pics of this please (inc interior)..
I will be looking to buy one in approx 7 months, but only in the same colour as yours....
Very nice!

Not my car, but was there when I was picking mine up. Not sure of the model.
