Argento Siracusa is the third shade developed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Ferrari Cavalcade in 2022. Inspired by the interplay of silver and gold hues, it evokes the sunlit reflections on the baroque marble of Syracuse, the historic Sicilian town from which it takes its name.

Grigio Cangiante is an exclusive Ferrari colour available only through the Tailor Made program and, to our knowledge, has been used just once. As seen in the image, it leans more toward a blue tone than traditional silver. The name "Cangiante" comes from the Italian verb "cangiare", meaning "to change." It also refers to a classical painting technique in which shading is achieved by switching to a different, often contrasting color rather than darkening the original with black or a similar hue.
Grigio Cinquanta

Grigio Cinquanta is a bespoke colour offered exclusively through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program. It was notably featured on a Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta owned by Ferrari collector Stephen van Rooyen. The name Cinquanta, meaning "fifty" in Italian, may hold personal significance for the owner in relation to the car’s configuration.

Grigio Coburn is a Ferrari paint colour developed in collaboration with VIP client Ian Coburn through the Ferrari Tailor Made program. It was first seen on his Ferrari F12tdf in 2017. This multi-layered grey features a prominent silver metallic flake that beautifully highlights the car’s sculpted bodywork. The same client also commissioned a bespoke red hue, fittingly named Rosso Coburn.

Grigio Conchiglia is a rare and elegant shade of silver with subtle green undertones. Originally introduced in the 1960s, it was an exclusive paint used on iconic Ferrari grand tourers like the 250 Pinin Farina Coupe and the 250 GT Short Wheelbase. In recent years, this historic colour has seen a revival, appearing on several modern models, including the F12tdf pictured here, as well as the Ferrari Daytona SP3 and the 812 GTS. Conchiglia translates to sea shell in English.

As the name suggests, this is the matte version of Grigio Eski, a dark, gunmetal grey metallic that was introduced a few years earlier. The term Eski is most likely a personal name, rather than a reference to a concept or object.

Grigio Fiabe is a little-known Ferrari shade of grey, believed to have been used only once. The name Fiabe, meaning “fairy tales” in Italian. It is a darker grey tone, subtle yet elegant, perfectly suited to this one-of-a-kind Ferrari Portofino.

Grigio Ingrid Opaco is the matte variant of the metallic shade known as Grigio Ingrid. This Ferrari colour is named after Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, who selected the original hue for the Ferrari 375 MM chassis 0402AM gifted to her in 1954 by her husband, Italian film director Roberto Rossellini. Though officially described by Ferrari as a grey, the colour leans more toward a silvery tone with subtle champagne and bronze undertones.
Grigio Le Sancy

Grigio Le Sancy is another bespoke silver shade offered through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program. It features a light, fluid silver finish with an elegant, almost liquid appearance. The name likely references either a grey racehorse from the 1880s or the famed Sancy diamond, a 55.23-carat gem discovered around 1570 and sold to the Louvre in 1978 for approximately $1 million.
Grigio Mahmoud

Ferrari primarily used Grigio Mahmoud during the 1960s and 1970s. The colour is most likely named after Mahmoud, a light grey thoroughbred racehorse bred in France and trained in Britain. Born in 1933, Mahmoud competed in eleven races between April 1935 and September 1936, winning four. In 1935, he claimed victory in two of Britain’s most prestigious races for two-year-olds and was officially rated the second-best colt of his generation.
Grigio Nuvolari

Grigio Nuvolari is a distinctive shade of grey featured on the rare Ferrari 456 M GT "Schumacher Edition," of which only 15 units were produced. Originally a colour used by Maserati and Alfa Romeo, it is named after legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, who won the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans in an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 MM. On this special Ferrari edition, Grigio Nuvolari was applied to the roof sections. The primary body colour, Grigio Scaglietti, will be discussed later in this article.

Grigio Ortello is a classic Ferrari colour that dates back to the 1960s. The original version leaned heavily toward a pure grey or silver tone, while the modern interpretation features warmer hues with subtle notes of champagne and bronze. Regardless of the variant, only a small number of Ferraris have ever been finished in this rare shade.
Grigio Reventon

Grigio Reventon is an exceptionally rare Ferrari grey, known to have been used only once, on the pictured Ferrari LaFerrari. The shade draws inspiration from the colour Lamborghini applied to the limited run of 15 Reventón Roadsters, although the Lamborghini version featured a matte finish. In contrast, Ferrari’s Grigio Reventon is a non-metallic paint with a smooth, solid appearance.
Grigio Scaglietti

The primary colour of the special edition Ferrari 456 M GT is Grigio Scaglietti, named in honor of Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the renowned Italian coachbuilder founded by Sergio Scaglietti in 1951. Located just across the road from Ferrari’s Maranello factory, the close collaboration between the two companies produced some of the most iconic and elegant Ferrari designs. Grigio Scaglietti is a light grey shade that beautifully highlights the car’s sharp lines and sculpted form.
Grigio Silverstone

Grigio Silverstone is one of the few silver or grey Ferrari colours available without requiring access to the Ferrari Atelier or Tailor Made programs. This deep, rich grey is either a nod to the iconic British racetrack, Silverstone, or a literal interpretation of the term "silver stone."
Grigio Stresy

Grigio Stresy is another exceptionally rare Ferrari color, known to appear on just a single car, a uniquely specced Ferrari F8 Spider owned by a ROSSOautomobili reader. The name Stresy likely alludes to the concept of pressure or stress, though its exact origin remains uncertain.

Ferrari’s Pure Metal Silver is believed to be the same high-lustre finish as BMW’s Individual color of the same name, featuring a striking, chrome-like appearance with exceptional brilliance. Available exclusively through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program, it was likely first introduced on the special 70th Anniversary Tailor Made editions in 2017.

Sanu Silver is a four-layer paint that delivers an exceptionally pure, liquid-like silver finish with subtle blue undertones visible under certain lighting conditions.
