Ron,
Yep - Fly Yellow is a factory colour. There are actually 2 different versions of it, but they look almost identical. There is also what I call Francorchamps yellow - it's the yellow that J Swaters Belgian race team painted most of their Ferraris in - it was a bit more mustardy than Fly.

There are some other colours you would never think would be on a Ferrari:
Prugna - a burgundy purpleish metallic
Viola metallic - Ferraris version of Plum Crazy, but a bit brighter.
Azzurio Dino - May as well be Grabber Blue.
Rosso Dino - almost a florescent reddish orange.
Celeste metallic - pale mint green metallic. And surprisingly, it look pretty good with a burgundy interior.
Verde Germoglio - I think it translates as 'Germ Green'. This is a non-metallic bile green colour that could only have come out in the early '70s.

Amazingly, I think blues and silvers/greys were the most popular on street cars.

Steve
