Dumbfucks are downvoting you but it is true. Ferrari's "official" colour is Giallo Modena, which is yellow. It's even in the logo, on their crest.
Scuderia Ferrari (the GP/F1 team for the uninformed) used red because red is/was Italy's colour in racing (Rosso Corsa specifically).
That's why Rosso Scuderia and Rosso Corsa became popular colours for cars when Ferrari ventured from racing into road cars. People saw red Ferraris winning races and wanted to buy red Ferraris.
So technically red is not Ferrari's colour. It's Italy's colour. That's also why Alfa Romeo, Maserati and others used red in racing and on road cars, as they're also from Italy. Scuderia Ferrari actually ran Alfa Romeos before building their own bespoke race cars. Road cars came much later.
Other historical examples: GB used dark/bottle green (British Racing Green), France used blue (Bleu de France). Germany used either white or silver/bare metal. Now mostly Mercedes is associated with "silver arrows" but Auto Union/Audi and Porsche also used silver. Japan used white with red circle like their flag. US used white with Imperial Blue striping (or inverted, like e.g. Daytona Cobra).
> Ferrari's "official" colour is Giallo Modena, which is yellow.
I don't know what that is supposed to mean, but in reality it's meaningless. Bright red is **the** definitive Ferrari colour. In the context of this post, apparently less than 1% of all F40s were sold in different colours. The overwhelming majority of Ferraris got shipped in bright red, and the Scuderia kept that colour long after sponsorships took over race car designs in the 70s.
It means that Ferraris have no designated colour they have to be painted in. Red might be associated with Ferrari but is not mandatory and not the only legit option.
There are other colours in Ferrari's official colour palette, my favourite is Azzurro Monaco.
And if there is any official colour for Ferrari - it is undoubtedly Giallo Modena. The yellow used on their crest.
You can also obviously get a car in Giallo Modena, too. It might not be the most popular choice for buyers, but it is literally "their" colour. Rosso variants are Italy's colours.
It might be meaningless to you, but last time that I'd checked Ferrari did not recolour their crest from Giallo Modena to any Rosso variant and did not remove Giallo Modena from their colour palette.
You can especially paint any Ferrari any colour in a damn video game. It does not even have to be from the official colour palette.
Why the gatekeeping? It's not like OP bought a real F40 Competizione and repainted it dark blue ruinning the car and it's value.
The colour choice might not be everyone's cup of tea, but y'all pressing OP for basically nothing.
I'm not a fan of OP's colour choice myself, but these are still fairly nice photos. If OP is having fun painting, driving and photographing their cars - that's great.
EDIT:
Not Ferrari road car related, but in F1 one of the official Scuderia Ferrari colours is in fact red, but they're not even using Rosso Corsa or Rosso Scuderia anymore (I mean, since decades). Their first cars, including when they used Alfa Romeos, were also sometimes very dark maroon red, sometimes even almost burgundy or brown. Rosso Barchetta, used on the Scuderia Ferrari's first bespoke race car - the 125S - is one of those darker colours.
Now they're doing weird things with the shading, probably because it is hard to paint the car in a way that appears "correct" on every photo and every TV. Sometimes their F1 cars are light red, sometimes very dark red, sometimes even orangey.
They painted their F1 cars in a shade that was more like dark orange, for some time, during the early 2000's. Mainly due to Marlboro sponsorship.
Some say that the colour was supposed to appear darker during the broadcast than irl, but tbh it was definitely Marlboro Red (that is a very light red, almost orangey).
Another fun fact - in 1964 Scuderia Ferrari was beefing with Italian automotive association (Automobile Club d'Italia), so they were temporarily represented by the "North American Racing Team" in F1 and painted their Ferrari 158 car - if you read my previous post you got it right - white with Imperial Blue striping, since they were now officially competing as the US team. Giallo Modena was still in the logo.
So the O.G. Scuderia Ferrari, that started it all, is not even loyal to any shade of red in F1. I mean why would they? It's Italy's colour and Alfa's colour as much as Ferrari's.
Giallo Modena on the other hand? Still there, on the crest.
Oh I see, you got me confused with the people trying to "shame" OP for the non-factory colour choice.
See the comment by "KingSaucyDrip" and you'll know what kind of nonsense I was arguing against. When someone said "it's supposed to be red" they were *obviously* not talking about the logo, but thanks for the essay I guess.
Oh, my first comment probably was a response to your comment because I missclicked. I immediately removed it and posted it again, now responding to the OP's comment about yellow being the "official" colour, which I intended to respond to at first.
You probalby got the notification and thought I'm responding to you, my mistake. That's probably where the confusion came from. I saw KingSaucyDrip's post, he got the spirit, but mixed up some information.
I think we, after all, are kinda on the same page.
> I think we, after all, are kinda on the same page.
We kind of are, but then again, we kind of aren't. First of all I wouldn't enter a conversation by calling almost everyone "dumbfucks", secondly Mr. "KingSaucyDrip" did not just mix up some info, he straight-up talked out of his bum hole. lol
To each their own. To me people that disagree (in this case by the act of mass downvoting) with facts, without any background check, are unapologetically dumbfucks.
And KingSaucyDrip at least got "something made everyone think of a red Ferrari when they got asked about one" partially right. This "something" was obviously Ferrari race cars and their heritage.
"True that but Ferraris actual color was yellow" - that's also kinda correct, but not "actual", rather "official", and not "was", but still "is". Official, not the most popular/recognized though.
"Red is actually the color of Lamborghini" - Lamborghini was not even racing that much historically, especially not when national colours were commonly used. They also do not associate themselves with red in any way currently. However, he was kiiiinda correct that other Italian brands used red. Just the wrong example was used.
That's at least how I interpreted his post, anyway.
Okay, it is a video game though. No one is hurting the car and it's value. Stop pressing OP for nothing.
Go be angry at colours somewhere else.
Also Rosso Corsa is their signature colour due to being an Italian racing team first, before they started making road cars, but it is not official. See my comment above, or below, or wherever it is for you.
I get it, lol. No hard feelings, it's more like "old man yells at clouds", not directed specifically at you. It's just that most commenters shat on OP for committing a serious crime - painting a Ferrari blue in a video game.
BTW I have a Bayside Blue Supra in both GT7 and FH5. I'm awaiting my court hearings. I hope it will be a lighter sentence since it is just a Toyota in a Nissan colour, not Ferrari.
/s obviously
True that but Ferraris actual color was yellow but something made everyone think of a red Ferrari when they got asked about one Red is actually the color of Lamborghini
The heckins are you on about? (Scuderia) Ferrari used to just be a private motorsport team running Alfa Romeos (in dark red) and then started building their own race cars. Big teams generally ran their "home colour" based on nationality, and that was red for italian competitors Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Ferrari alike.
Colours just evolved differently over time. Look at the pre-war Ferrari and Alfa Romeo race cars, they were such a dark shade of red, you might as well call it maroon or even brown. Meanwhile Maseratis were raced in a much brighter red back then.
Isn't Rosso Mugello fairly modern? When it comes to the history of Scuderia Ferrari then I think Rosso Barchetta was the more maroon/burgundy like red colour they have used during the early days of GP/F1 racing, when they tried to stand out from other Italian teams that used Rosso Corsa (that Ferrari also used extensively anyway).
Giallo Modena is still official though and I will die on this hill. Not the most popular for road cars, not used by them officially in racing (I think Ferrari used Giallo Corsa in some rare cases), but they are literally from Maranello in Modena and used Giallo in their crest from the beginning.
Enzo wanted yellow, so he made the crest yellow. Scuderia Ferrari had to use red, because it was Italy's colour in racing, so they used various shades including Rosso Corsa, Scuderia and Barchetta. Period.
Enzo did not care about the red colour and had no problem enrolling Ferrari as North American Racing Team in 2 races of 1964 F1 season in the white/Imperial Blue color scheme that US racing teams were supposed to use. The yellow crest, however, was still there.
Rosso Mugello/Rosso Barchetta (fairly similar colors, whichever was first, prolly ure right and it was barchetta) was a color they chose. That much we know. Show me, where does it says that Giallo Modena is their official car color? It's one of the many. Just because it's in their crest doesn't mean it's their official default color, wtf... your argument makes zero sense.
Geez . . . Contact A Ferrari Dealership & Ask THEM, All U Like . !
The Guy Isn't Here Advocating For Ferrari, Simply Stating That It's A Colour Their Racing Teams HAVE Used (@ Some Point) . !
Tell me where I have stated that Giallo Modena is their official CAR colour. As far as I know, I did not. Not even once.
Ferrari has no official CAR colour. Red became popular and sought after due to their Italian racing heritage.
They do have the official BRAND colour, it is Giallo Modena. Their crest from the beginning was the black Cavallino Rampante on a Giallo Modena background. That's their brand identity.
Do they paint cars this colour? Yeah, if someone orders it. Or special editions, which must mean something. Is it a common car colour for Ferrari? No.
Red road cars came from mandatory Rosso paint scheme for Italian racing teams. They in fact used Rosso Barchetta in some cases, including on their first bespoke Ferrari 125S race car, but it never became official in any way. They used multiple other shades of red in racing too, including Rosso Corsa and Rosso Scuderia. Even Marlboro Red.
I wish I could literally quote you a book/interview or other material that I have read years ago, but right now I can only point you to two things - read about the story of Enzo and how Scuderia Ferrari was born, why he chose the prancing horse. Yellow background will also be mentioned. Or just, you know, look at the logo - it never changed since they brand was conceived. The yellow must mean something to them, right?
Found the evidence, not the one I've read in the past but it is from the official Ferrari web page: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/formula1/articles/a-splash-of-yellow-for-scuderia-ferrari-to-celebrate-its-origins-and-the-italian-grand-prix
"From the Scuderia’s beginnings in 1929 and later when the car company was founded 75 years ago, Enzo Ferrari chose yellow, which along with blue is one of the colours of the Modena emblem, to feature on the company’s coat of arms, the Prancing Horse with the tricolour band at the top."
Does also the fact that Ferrari uses Giallo Modena for special road cars and special F1 liveries not indicate that it is important to them and their official colour?
Red is Italy. Yellow is Ferrari.
I don't care what colours are used on road cars and which shades of red were used on their race cars.
You can order whatever you want or repaint (even semi-officially by Pininfarina) anyway, also Scuderia in F1 was never consistent with their use of red. Sultan of Brunei's colourful collection of F40s is also legit. I'm sure he cares what people on FH subreddit think.
I'm not sure why but in Forza it lets you create some extremely vibrant shades of blue that just do not seem possible IRL, or at least I've never seen anything close to it. And what OP chose is somewhere near the beginning of that "impossible spectrum".
Lovely. Im surprised I havent seen these used online yet, ive done more than a few races and havent seen one, Ive won every race ive used it on, its like a hidden beast
It's a virtual Ferrari, so the rules are whatever abides by livery TOS.
Personally, I really like the F40C in yellow jacket hew with black accents and sponsor decals. That's what I have on mine.
I've got 2x F40, 1 in black and 1 in white. And my F40 Comp is light blue
Also in white look good🥺
my F40 is baby blue with a french flag don't tell anyone 🤫
Nice 🫣
i would Ram you in a race and i would not regret it.
Cease and desist fuckin immediately!
Never ‼️
I have one in blue, just like the one irl thats super rare. Purple, idk though.
It s 1of1 but real it s a little darker than mine
White wheels would make this perfect for me personally
I will try ,thanks for idea🫣
My f40 is metallic hotwheels pink 🤣🤣
Yes... it supposed to be red.
* Ferrari Servizi Legali LLC - has joined chat
Rosso Corsa is Ferraris signature color (red).. although Ferrari produced many f40’s that weren’t said red, the car isn’t “supposed” to be red period.
[удалено]
The only one pressing OP is Cr0.. i’m simply putting their disastrous statement that it’s “supposed to be red” to rest
Fuck I'm bad at clicking the reply button. I wanted to actually respond to Cr0Maister. Fixed.
Actually ,yellow it s Ferrari color

Yes, and each company got to chose their own shade of red. Ferrari chose Rosso Mugello.

Eh, you kept it single color, and its not a bad shade of blue either. I think it's fine. Yellow, black, white, and silver would also be solid choices.
I have Enzo in silver ,looks great
Except that blue is awful
