About Blu Ultrascuro
Blu Ultrascuro is a variation upon the Blu Scuro paint. It's a really dark shade of blue first seen in 2017 on an F12tdf. Like some of Ferrari's other dark blues the color looks mostly black without bright lighting but when seen in some sunny conditions the true dark blue shines through. This paint is still quite rarely seen and has only featured on a handful of models as a Tailor Made option.
The story of Blu Ultrascuro
Blu Ultrascuro carries the code 20-A-174, which the 330 GT Registry transcribes as Bleu Ultrascuro from a paint-chip book for Scaglietti-built 275 GTBs. Carpaints.co lists the same digits as PPG 20A174 and describes the color as a variation on Blu Scuro, dating its first appearance to an F12tdf in 2017 and calling it a Tailor Made option seen on a handful of models. ROSSOautomobili calls it a very dark, historical shade of blue and records a matte version, Blu Ultra Scuro Opaco, noting that both finishes went on only a handful of cars.
