That's a no brainer....Ferrari Grigio Titanium is the best of all the colours on an Aston. Strangely, it looks very dull on the Ferraris- almost flat. On the Astons it shines and changes from bright silver to metallic silver/blue depending on the light - Absolutely superb on the V8 (coupe or roadster), great on the Vanquish and nice / different on the DB9. I intend to spec it on my next Aston (would love to see it on a DBS) I think its a high cost option now - likely to see it even less.

Grigio Titanio is a lovely colour, no doubt, and I would have it over Tungsten any day. i don't agree that it doesn't work on Ferraris. I saw an F550 once, nice and clean on a sunny day which is not usual in Glasgow, and it looked superb.

All the same if I were you, and I was going down the silver/Grey route I would be thinking about AM Titanium Silver.

+1 to Titanium Silver, although I am biased since mine's in that colour....

+2 for AM Titanium Silver, fantastic in bright sunlight, ditto another biased comment

Grigio for sure. A biased view but it suits a V8V so well. Titanium would be my second choice.

Grigio!

Sometimes it looks like the metal is liquid on mine, an amazing effect and the perfect colour for an Aston.

No brained. The Ferrari grigio titanium is almost mesmerizing it sparkles so much. I have it on a Vanquish and the car looks awesome. Quite rare too.

Well you better keep it clean or it will look like oxidised zinc.
