About Blu Hembery
Estimated from the dominant body color of the carpaints.co photo (Ferrari 488 Pista Spider; 19% of frame). Blu Hembery is a dark blue paint by Ferrari which even in bright and sunny conditions remains quite dark in tone. Only from the right angles the brighter vibrant blue metallic flake becomes visible, making it no surprise that it appears near black in low light conditions. The color was originally created for Paul Hembery, a British engineer and then director for Pirelli Latin America. It first featured on his personal 812 Superfast and later on a small number of other customer's cars. You won't quickly come across a Ferrari painted in this color as it's not found on the standard palette and thus reserved for special creations although it has been picking up in popularity as of late.
The story of Blu Hembery
Blu Hembery is a bespoke dark blue created through Ferrari's Tailor Made program for a Pirelli executive. DK Engineering, which later sold the car, describes a 2019 812 Superfast supplied new through Carrs Ferrari Exeter to the then CEO of Pirelli's Asia Pacific region, finished in the original owner's bespoke dark blue shade of Blu Hembery, with door sills signed by Vettel and Räikkönen. Carpaints.co names the owner as Paul Hembery, calls that 812 Superfast the first Ferrari in the color, records PPG code 0258, and documents a second car, a Tailor Made 488 Pista Spider with a Giallo Modena livery. ROSSOautomobili instead says Hembery requested the color for his F12berlinetta.
