The story of Blu Ferrari
Blu Ferrari is a period factory name carried by the Salchi code 20-A-185. The 330 GT Registry reproduces a Scaglietti paint-chip book for the 275 GTB in which the color appears as Bleu Ferrari 20-A-185 alongside Rosso Ferrari 20-R-187, Verde Scuro Ferrari 20-G-186, Marrone Ferrari 20-M-189 and Amaranto Ferrari 20-R-188, and the registry notes that an owner could order any color they wanted. The 308-328.com tables list the same code among the paint codes specific to the 308 GT4 from 1973 to 1980, naming it simply Blu. ROSSOautomobili describes Blu Ferrari as a dark shade primarily used in the 1970s and shows it on a 365 GTB/4.
