Ferrari Colors every paint color, code and Pantone match

I could not find the right green for my 296 Speciale — not because the shade did not exist, but because no single source listed its name, its hex value, its paint code and a photograph of a car in the color together. Ferrari publishes no complete color reference: the configurator shows the standard palette for each current model, but there is no official chart of codes or hex values, no archive of historic colors, and the palette changes with every model and every Tailor Made commission. What you need is scattered across forums, auction listings, paint suppliers and enthusiast blogs — some of it reliable, much of it hit or miss.

So I built this. Colori di Ferrari gathers every publicly known Ferrari color in one place: 505 colors across 12 families, each with a sampled hex value, factory paint codes where they have been published, the nearest Pantone match, and photographs of real cars. Every family page runs dark to light so you can find a shade by eye. Colors that appear in Ferrari's own current configurator are marked "Ferrari official" with Ferrari's category and code. Where a value is an estimate rather than a verified chip, it says so. Nothing here is official; all of it is sourced, and I welcome corrections and submissions.

How Ferrari paint codes work

Ferrari colors have carried several code systems, one per paint supplier. 1960s and 70s cars use Glidden-Salchi codes — "20-X-nnn" for solid colors and "106-X-nn" for metallics, where the letter is the color family (R rosso, G verde, A azzurro, Y giallo, E grigio and argento, M marrone, W bianco, B nero); the same cars are often quoted with five-digit Italver or Max Meyer numbers from the coachbuilders' chip books. From the early 1980s Ferrari switched to Glasurit and three-digit "FER" codes — FER 300 Rosso Corsa, FER 100 Bianco, FER 1240 Nero, with a "/C" suffix for metallics such as FER 601/C Verde Pino. From the 1990s the supplier became PPG, whose stickers carry short numbers (322 Rosso Corsa, 4305 Giallo Modena, 740 Grigio Silverstone, 611 Verde British, 3238 Grigio Titanio) and, in paint-shop systems, six-digit PPG formula references. Every color page shows all the codes we could verify, with the source for each.

Where to find the paint code on your Ferrari

From the 1980s onward every Ferrari left the factory with a small paint sticker — a genuine Ferrari part — printed with the color name and code: a round or square Glasurit sticker with an FER number ("ROSSO CORSA FER 300") on 1980s–90s cars, a PPG sticker ("Rosso Corsa 322DS") on later cars. Where it sits varies by model: most often inside the front luggage compartment, on a side panel or the underside of the lid, sometimes in the engine bay, and on some models in the door jamb. Cars built before the sticker era have no label on the body; the color is recorded on the factory build sheet, in Ferrari Classiche certification or a Massini report, and a Ferrari dealer can confirm it from the VIN. If you only know the name, search here for the code; if you only have a code, search for that.

Renamed and alternative names

Ferrari has retired several special-paint names that honored people and reissued the same paint under a new name — Blu Ahrabian became Blu Abisso — and catalogue names are often written differently on stickers, in the configurator and on enthusiast sites. Every entry below is searchable under all of its names.

Ferrari color questions

Does Ferrari publish its paint colors or paint codes?

Only partly. The configurator shows the standard colors offered on each current model, but Ferrari publishes no codes, no hex values and no archive of historic, extra-range or Tailor Made colors. This site compiles what owners, paint suppliers, parts catalogues and enthusiast archives have documented.

Where is the paint code on a Ferrari?

Cars from the 1980s onward carry a small factory paint sticker printed with the color name and code — a Glasurit sticker with an FER number on 1980s–90s cars, a PPG sticker on later cars. Its position varies by model: most often inside the front luggage compartment (on a side panel or the underside of the lid) or in the engine bay, and on some models in the door jamb. Earlier cars have no sticker; the color is recorded on the factory build sheet, a Ferrari Classiche certification or a Massini report, and any Ferrari dealer can look the color up from the VIN.

What is the hex code for Rosso Corsa?

Rosso Corsa, Ferrari's racing red, samples at #B21914 on this site; other published values include #D40000 (RAL 3028). Its Glasurit paint code is 300, PPG 322.

What is the difference between Rosso Corsa and Rosso Scuderia?

Rosso Corsa (#B21914, configurator code 322, Glasurit FER300) is the classic racing red. Rosso Scuderia (#E11B10, code 323) is brighter and leans orange, the shade the Scuderia Ferrari F1 cars wore from 2003 to 2007; the two sit ΔE 9.9 apart, a clearly visible difference side by side. Further along the family, Rosso Fiorano (#84000E, code 321) is a deep metallic red and Rosso Mugello (#491114, code 325) is the burgundy at the dark end. Rosso Corsa Metallizzato is the metallic version of Rosso Corsa with its own code. The Compare tool puts any of them next to each other with the ΔE between them.

How accurate are the hex values?

Verified chips are sampled from flat color-chip images and are consistent across the whole site; photo-derived estimates are marked with a dashed border and a confidence rating. Screen values never replace a physical paint sample.

What do Opaco, Metallizzato and Triplo Strato mean in a Ferrari color name?

They describe the finish, not the hue. Opaco is matt: the same color under a flat top coat, offered on many current colors (Rosso Corsa Opaco, Grigio Silverstone Opaco). Metallizzato, or Metallico, is metallic: aluminium flake in the paint, so the color shifts with the angle of the light; Rosso Corsa Metallizzato is a separate paint with its own code. Triplo Strato, also written Tre Strati, is three-layer: a base color under a tinted translucent coat and clear, which gives depth and a pearl effect, as in Giallo Triplo Strato or Blu Genziana Triplo Strato. Every color page lists the finish, type and layer count in its spec table, and each family page can be filtered by them.

What is Ferrari's yellow called?

Giallo Modena (#FBDD3F, configurator code 4305, Glasurit FER102), named after the city where the factory is. It is the yellow most people mean by "Ferrari yellow" and a standard color on the current range. Giallo Triplo Strato (#F8B920, code 250) is the deeper three-layer pearl yellow, and Giallo Tre Strati is a different paint again: the 70th-anniversary "Bold Yellow" livery color. The Giallo family page lists every yellow dark to light.

Can a Ferrari be ordered in any color?

Within limits. For each current model the configurator offers a set of standard colors, optional colors, two-layer and three- or four-layer special paints (some "upon sample"), historical colors and the model's launch colors; the palette differs from model to model. Beyond that, Ferrari's Tailor Made programme lets a buyer commission a color outside the range, including one matched to a sample, which is where many of the one-off names in this reference come from. Colors that appear in the current configurator are marked "Ferrari official" here with Ferrari's category and code; a dealer can confirm what is offered on a given model.

How many Ferrari colors are there?

This reference lists 505 distinct Ferrari paint colors across 12 families, from 1950s Pininfarina palettes to current Tailor Made shades, plus code-only names without a chip.
