About Nero DS Opaco
Nero DS Opaco is the matte variant of Ferrari's standard non-metallic black paint. It's a color which is rather rarely seen and only features on Tailor Made cars. Ferrari’s configurator lists it among its matt paints simply as "Nero Opaco"; the only gloss black in the same configurator is Nero DS. The name is at least as old as the Enzo: RM Sotheby’s describes chassis 136069, specified new by a member of the Brunei royal family and delivered in 2004, as "the only Enzo finished in Matte Nero Opaco by Ferrari" (Sealed September auction, 2026).
