About Blu Elder
Estimated from the dominant body color of the carpaints.co photo (Ferrari 812 GTS; 25% of frame). Blu Elder is a two layer modern Ferrari paint, exclusively available from their extended paint range. It's a light desaturated shade of blue with a noticeable purple undertone and very striking gold / bronze metallic flake which gives the paint its unique glow and completely transforms it under direct sunlight. In late 2025 this color was renamed to Blu Minerale, to move away from color names referencing individuals. The paint code and overall look remain the same although Blu Minerale seems to be slightly darker.
