About Berlinetta Lusso
Named after the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, this is a Tailor Made metallic made by PPG; carpaints.co records Ferrari as the first maker to use it. The 812 Competizione Aperta documented there wears a Livrea Trasversale stripe in Argento Nürburgring, and its paint sticker reads "Berlinetta Lusso" and "Liv Arg Nurburg", with no numeric code. ROSSOautomobili calls the color caramel-like on a Tailor Made 812 Competizione Aperta. Body panels in the two photographs here read from #bd7f46 to #dda165 depending on the light, more orange and less yellow than the blog’s chip, which remains the reference value.
