Color Question- Grigio Silverstone vs. Grigio Titanio?

My father is looking at a grigio silverstone F430... we fell in love with a grigio titanio 360 back in the day and I was wondering how the two colors compare? Both are sick colors but I really can't tell the difference. Thanks!

Grigio silverstone is darker and grigio titanio is closer looking to silver.

rj45 is an unknown quantity at this point
Look again...there is a noticeable difference between the two. Silverstone is significantly darker than Titanio. As mentioned above, Titanio is closer to silver (though definitely darker). Silverstone, however, is closer to anthracite.

Also, Titanio has a bit of blue in it, whereas Silverstone, IIRC, has a touch of brown. Both are rich colors with a lot of metallic flake. They compliment the F430's design and contrast well with the red taillights.

Well rj45 explains it perfectly...my dad´s got a 456 M in grigio titanio, which suits it very well being a very classy color, the bit of light blue looks amazing, when he bought the 430 spider he first wanted to have it in grigio silverstone with cuio interior, but the touch of brown just was a bit to heavy in this combo
so it depends a bit on the interior colour and if its a coupe or a spider, the coupe looks great in titanio with black or cuio interior whereas the spider is better looking in silverstone with red interior, i wouldn´t recommend silverstone/nero, just a bit too dark and a bit boring...
of course thats just my opinion...but maybe it helps u

I agree. Silverstone/Blk doesn't have much life/pop.

Silverstone is a nice and aggressive shade of gray. It's common on F430s. GREAT with red leather, and even a tan.

Titanio is a bit lighter, classier, but a tad plain IMO. Works with a variety of interiors.



Silverstone:



Titanio:

titanio is where it is at, my father had a 360 in that color a few years back, shields, red calipers ... stunning

I prefer the silverstone over titano. But you cannot beat Rosso Corsa

Both colors suits well 430, but I prefer Silverstone, it is more classy imo.
