50 Shades Of Giulia: A Journey Through Alfa Romeo Colors

The name #AlfaRomeo is very much linked to bright red sports cars, and rightfully so, given the marque's back catalog.
Still, over the years, Alfa has offered many excellent alternatives to the classic #RossoAlfa so I've decided to pick #Top50 of my favorite shades and put together a sort of post-war history of Alfa Romeo cars through their colors. I hope you'll enjoy it!

So many colours... So many beautiful colours... I want to go back to times, when cars had proper colours, which screamed passion for the design. Thank you Matteo for this brilliant video. I will watch it and stop it several times to really appreciate all the colours mentioned. Which is my favorite? All of them... :D

[@Matteo_Licata]

Thank you!!!!

[@kevgermany]

My family don't agree, but more than half the cars I see are grey/silver/black/white and many that aren't are very mild tints of these colours. Bring back bold, yes!

[@nlpnt]

I recently had occasion to look up the color options for the 1978 Plymouth Horizon and there were two different oranges! Granted, one was very red, similar to VW Mars Red, but the other was true orange - and Chrysler didn't want to pair either with a tan interior! Anything other than black or white (with black dash and carpets) would've been an extra-special-order.

[@matirs342]

My father's 155 (which he has since 2006) is "Verde Mirto", I always liked that shade for the 155 along with the "Blu Nord" offered in the Super. The 145 also had some great colours IMO. My favourites being "Rosso Prugna" for the phase 1 and "Giallo Zoe" for the facelift. There also were some cool metallic paints as Verde Cariabi, Verde Artic, Azzurro Fantasia and a few others. 156 had the Azzurro Nuvola, 166 had Aurora Nuvola In newer examples, MiTo had "Giallo Imola" and a cool metallic brown. Giulietta (and MiTo) had "Nero Etna", satin "Griggio Magnesio", the metallic blue shades. In the last facelift they included "Verde Visconti". That new Giulia in green is just pure class 👌🏻

[@Matteo_Licata]

Verde Mirto was very popular here in Italy on late 33s and 155s. And rightfully so, as it really suited those cars. Yes, the 145 had cool shades as well... Too many for a single video!

[@deramon1000]

I'm trying to imagine the Giulia in Azzurro Nuvola... I think it would look nice. I also loved the Giulia in Rosso Monza but it was only available for a short time

[@mitjademitrijcernac9204]

I had Alfa 166 in Volcano Nero. A real beautiful car and for me the best Alfa ever.

[@JethroBronner]

Ocra 109 over black basket weave is the ultimate 1750 GTV combination 👌

[@wallacem41atgmail]

Ochre in English.

[@Matteo_Licata]

And I look forward to see your GTV painted that color! It's going to look fantastic, a very much underrated shade for that model

[@chandler_h]

My Stelvio is Rosso Competizione!!! Lovely color. Deep in the shadows, brilliant in the sun. Dynamic! Rosso Alfa is my all time favorite.

[@neverthar]

And everyone usually thinks of Italian car colors, they'd usually think those of Maranello and Sant Agata but this changes every perception

[@Matteo_Licata]

Thank you!!!

[@fakenorwegian4743]

Off topic, but the 1969 33/2 Coupe Speciale is insanely beautiful. It reminds me of Speed Racer's Mach 5. What a sublime design!

[@Matteo_Licata]

It's stunning. Interestingly, it was an adaptation of a design Pininfarina had recently presented, but on a Ferrari chassis, the P5. Alfa's president Luraghi liked it, and asked Pininfarina to adapt the design to a 33 chassis.

[@shabbos-goy9407]

Prugna 525 is the BEST Alfa colour! I had a LHD 1300 Junior which was in this colour.

[@arnebuchner1297]

My father owned a Giulia Super 1600 in Ocra and this ist still my one and only alternative to the Rosso Alfa.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Stromboli Grey and Maranello Red are 2 of my favourites - admittedly, those are the paint colours of my 156 and Giulietta respectively! My 145 was in the classic Alfa Red!

[@davemagick6739]

Grazie mille or as they say in the countryside “tante cose” for this important scholarship, it is not just entertainment. Rosso Amaranto for me!

[@CumminsVoortman]

For the 156 my favourite was the Artic Verde 316. Hard to pick other colours without picking the car first. But Alfa Romeo have had plenty of great colours.

[@JensHoorn]

I once had a Giulia in Azzuro Le Mans. Ultimate combination. Also Gialo Ocra is beautiful and playfull. My current ‘69 Giulia is in Rosso Amaranto, which makes it classy

[@Matteo_Licata]

Amaranto is a great shade for the Giulia berlina, one of my faves!

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

My Alfa GT was quite a rare colour. I bought the car new in 2006 and, rather than going for Alfa Red, I decided to be adventurous and choose a colour I hadn’t seen, but I thought would suit the car. That colour was Rosso Radicofani and with the tan leather and black interior was, in my opinion at least, a gorgeous combination. Rosso Radicofani is a metallic and the colour of red wine in the sunlight. It really sparkled on a sunny day. I’m pleased to say, although I no longer own the car, it is still on the road today and has covered about 130,000 miles or just over 200.000 kms. I would love to be reunited with it one day. Radicofani is a small town in the beautiful Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, famous for once being the home of Ghino di Tacco, Italy’s Robin Hood. Grazie mille Matteo for a fascinating and unusual video.

[@Matteo_Licata]

Thank you very much for sharing this interesting info about your GT. Rosso Radicofani was rarely seen indeed, so much so that I completely forgot about it. Radicofani is also on the Mille Miglia route, so I guess that's why Alfa used the name :)

[@Strike86]

My old 159 in Grigio Stromboli (my profile pic) was absolutely beautiful. Changed with the light. It suits the most other Alfas too. I must admit that Azzuro Nuvola and Bianco Aurora Iridescente are my two favourites from modern Alfas. There is also a gorgeous deep blue on the GT called Blu Chiaia di Luna that looks stunning on that car; even nicer than Blu Oltremare that I have on mine which turns purple in the sunlight. OH! And Verde Minerva on the 166, Verde Gemma on the 147 and Rosso Rubino on the 159 - my favourite red ever. There's also a stunning metallic brown available on the 159 in other parts of Europe and the Middle East but I never found what it was called.

[@deramon1000]

The Rosso Rubino was also available in the GT and brera! I own a GT in that color. Its gorgeous! Especially combined with the blackline edition

[@gordonkachuk5457]

I had a 1975 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 in PininFarina Rosso, absolutely beautiful on the Spider.

[@reneblanche3573]

Another awesome video!

[@rustybearden1800]

I love that you created a video explaining all of the colors and their proper names - no one (except hardcore collectors and restorers) remembers them. I personally have a weakness for the "off" colors that so many people dispise - the deep greens, browns and warm whites and blues but particularly the greens and browns. A beautifully designed and sculpted car in a flawless shade of green or brown metallic just does something for me. And please, no - the offhand and disrespectful "turd" brown - Oy!

[@Matteo_Licata]

Thank you! Yes, color names and codes are seriously anorak stuff... Yet this video has done surprisingly well in terms of views :) I do like brown cars... But only if it's a metallic shade, like Luci di Bosco, for example

[@avtomad722]

Interesting video, thank you! The 70's was far more interesting and colourful. But I remember in the late 90's when the 156 first started appearing (I lived in London at the time) in Azzurro Nuvola, they really stood out and was the trendiest colour to have for a year or two.

[@roberttims98]

Lake Garda, a subtle colour, but it grows on you!

[@raufsahin334]

Beautiful Alfa's of the 60s ..70s and 80s ....Nice Video Matteo ..Yellows My Favorite Colour Thank You ..

[@alexandrosartopoulos8912]

Rosso Proteo, the colour of Alfa 146 Junior I bought back in 1997. Actually my wife chose it in a dark December night, however when I saw it in daylight I was completely sold!!!! 17 years after selling the car I still turn my head when I see one in this colour!!!

[@Matteo_Licata]

Yeah, Rosso Proteo was a very cool shade that sold very well on all Alfa models. It really suited those wedgy, sporty designs

[@alexandrosartopoulos8912]

Bosco Verde. Quattroporte IV or 916 spider wearing it are stunners.

Maybe a bit biased, but my Giulietta in Nero Etna is gorgeous, understated when cloudy but when the sun shines and those bronze flecks sparkle.. 👌

[@GarajeMaldizer]

What a fantastic video, “Nero Jarama 846” GT owner here 😊

[@Matteo_Licata]

Very cool, thank you!

[@raypurchase801]

My '69 Alfa is French blue. By the 1970s, most Alfas in the UK were rust red.

[@Matteo_Licata]

Unfortunately, yes. Even in Italy rust was an issue... But not just with Alfas. In the 70s most carmakers didn't really do much to rustproof their cars.

[@scuderiasenzasoldi8740]

Azzuro Nuvola is such a gorgeous colour. My dad had 2 156 SW and a 147 3Door in that colour. Every car was a bit different in kinds of the shade. And nice to that Blu Posilippo is also on your List. I own a Alfasud that’s in that Blu with Velour Tan interior. Giallo Piper that I really like on Alfetta‘s. My dad has an Alfetta Berlina in that very 70‘s colour❤️🚗

[@Matteo_Licata]

Giallo Piper is so cool, and I love its reference to period Italian pop culture.

[@peterli6138]

Alfas are rare in HK, so I couldn't be picky when choosing the colour of my cars. Still, I love them all: 1) 916 GTV in Rosso Alfa 2) 156 2.5 V6 in Grigio Sterling 3) 939 Brera in Grigio Silverstone

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

Had to say classic 'Grigio Chiaro 612', the colour that most accents the beautiful lines, just as the silver foil used by designers on clay models.

[@joseantonioarandagarcia9966]

Very nice video! I really love the light blue, green and yellow ones! Hard to choose, but the "kind of mustard yellow" of the GTV is just delicious!

[@Matteo_Licata]

Good choice! :)

[@titanus49]

My favourite colour is Azzurro Acqua di Fonte, because my first Giulia Super of 1970 was this gorgeous colour. It really suited the body shape of the car.

[@Matteo_Licata]

Indeed. Those light pastel shades suited the car and were very common in those days!

[@tonyhaywood619]

I’m surprised Verde Muschio didn’t make the list. Great period color for the 105/115 GTV and Giulia.

[@Matteo_Licata]

I admit I forgot Verde Muschio and I regret that, as it’s a color I like a lot!

[@Sferaristi]

My favorite color is faggio (Ambassador Maroon) which made me fall in love with my 1975 Alfetta Berlina, especially in combination with the beige leather interior.

[@Matteo_Licata]

Very nice! Congratulations for you cool classic too!

[@graemelliott3942]

Rosso Etna is my Favorite today!!

[@tonyhaywood619]

Great video! I’m glad to hear you describe Prugna as the most outrageous Alfa color ever. I bought a 1972 2000 GTV in this color and had a love/hate relationship with it. After body restoration, I decided to change the color to an Alfa color not mentioned here: Rubino Scuro, (used in the 1930s and on the 1961-68 2600).

[@Matteo_Licata]

Indeed Prugna is a color so cool that you can love it and hate it at the same time, and I can understand your choice to go for another color during your car’s restoration. The GTV, in standard form, is perhaps too elegant a shape to pull Prugna off. I’d paint a Junior Zagato in it all day, but a GTV or a Spider? Not so much.

[@tonyhaywood619]

@@Matteo_Licata Yes! The color (Prugna) upstaged the design, I found.

[@istvanburuzs9843]

Once I have seen an Alfa Romeo color code chart, and as I remember, there were some 30 (?) different shades of red colour…. To me the most alfas are desirable in classic rosso, but a giulia is very imaginable in bianco, with a thin stripes of italian tricolore (as i am from Hungary, red-white-green means to me not only the italian, but the hungarian tricolore as well).

[@TheInstructor66]

Again a great video, Matteo! Thank you. So many people think AR only came in red… My 1969 1300 Gt junior is repainted in its original 506 Bluette. An amazing color. In green enviroment it looks green. In dusk it looks grey. Im so happy my car came in that color. 🍀

[@Matteo_Licata]

Right on! The GT bertone looks great in those pastel period colors, much better than the usual red, in my view

[@johnphaceas7434]

My first 156 was a dark Cosmos Blue metallic, and still think it is the best colour for the model. Also recently saw a Giulia QV in a similar shade and it was truly menacing in the twilight coming up behind me on the freeway.

[@Matteo_Licata]

A Giulia QV is a menacing sight in the rear view mirror, regardless of shade :) And rightfully so, it's a beast of a car I'm so glad it's got an Alfa badge. In its tiny niche, it's quite successful too, regularly outselling M3s and AMGs

[@llamaunleashed1127]

Mr. Roadster, I am an enthusiast with distinct love for Alfa cars. This episode was one of my favorite ones, and it also gave me an idea for a suggestion. Can you research all different types and colors of interior leather used in mainstream Alfa Romeo products. As always, the interior tells a story that many other brands just look over. Kind regards.

[@Matteo_Licata]

Wow, thank you for your appreciation! I like your suggestion, I'll see how much information I can gather on that subject.

Ordered my 156 in 1999 in Azzurro Achille with a red interior as I was an Alfa-Romantic and loved the reference to the 1960's Giulia and was fed up with the boring palette of cars generally at the time - red, black, white and silver. My colleagues thought it an odd choice but alas the colour was discontinued and I had to have white!.....

Interesting stuff.... I confess I am a sucker for the bold but subdued shades of the '60s. Bianco Spino is an almost perfect way to show the lines of a car in any light. It makes a sedan in a parking bay appear like a modeller's buck in a design studio. For the same reason, I rather like the greys and pale blues of that era. As to "Testa di Moro", the same phrase (or worse) was used in both the UK and France. Elderly relatives would speak of "N***** Brown' paint well into the 1970s. It is a name from another time and it is good that we no longer use it... The Montreal.... You could paint it any colour...... In fact that goes for most of the Alfas of my childhood. I still recall (1982?) strolling proudly up to the parts counter at a London Citroen dealership and asking for a can of orange paint for a 2cv. Asked which one, I said "A 1974 2cv4, Belgian import...." The guy at the counter put five rattle cans of orange paint on front of me and asked again "Which one?" The start of an education.... Nice video. Thank you.

@@Matteo_Licata So , I left school and had no idea what I wanted to do in life . My mum at the time worked at the local job centre and suggested that whilst I thought about my career path I should get a job at the local Fiat/Alfa dealer . There was a job opportunity as a trainee parts person . It was on the youth training scheme and I had to go to college one day a week and learn about motor vehicles and business. Mum had always bought her Fiats from this dealer so she knew them well. I qualified as a parts person and would often talk a lot to the customers about their cars when they called in for spare parts . One day the general manager called me into his office to discuss my conduct at the parts desk . “You talk a lot to the customers don’t you ? “ he said . Sheepishly I apologised and said that I wouldn’t do it anymore. To my surprise he then offered me a company demonstrator and said how would you like to work in Alfa sales . I transitioned across from an oily polo shirt to a Hugo Boss suit and attempted to sell cars. I did ok , but if I’m honest being a car salesman wasn’t suited to my personality. I wasn’t tough enough and tended to give too much away in a desperate attempt to sell a car . I did it for about 10 years though before moving to the Fire Service where I still work today . But that’s how I fell in love with Italian cars .

Love the Giallo Ocra, very cool color on the Giulia and Juniors :)

I have a GT in Stromboli Grey metalico 651with black and grey interior that works well and a GT in Nero Jarama metalico 846 with tan and black interior. Both metallics really sparkle in the right light and seem to have more noticeable flecks than most other car makes. Although the black and tan combination is probably my favourite on a GT, the Stromboli Grey really shows the cars lines and is probably my favourite colour for the 147, 156 and GT. A Cloverleaf GT in Atlantico? Blue is pretty eye catching too though!

[@Matteo_Licata]

Wow, two very tastefully specced GTs indeed. Congratulations!

Nice! But i would love have seen mentioned the Bianco Farina 008 used on my Alfa Spider Coda Tronca😊

[@Matteo_Licata]

Maybe next time :)

[@delahayenator]

Haha great, saw the title and thought of the colors i loved most on the Alfas I owned were an Alfetta in Luce di Bosco, and a Giulietta in Blu Ollandese (as a dutchman should:)) Also had a 75 TS in a nice darker grey metallic but dont know the name. Great to see my favorites mentioned Especially the Alfetta looked very good in this color with the ronal a1s

[@Matteo_Licata]

Thank you! Yes, I love Luci di Bosco, partly because of its romantic name, but it also fits very well the shapes of the period Alfas

@@Matteo_Licata I once almost bought a very rusty 79 Alfetta GTV which had a very special color. It was a very light purple/pink metallic. It seemed a factory color but never saw an Alfa again in this color I think. Maybe a Berlina 2000 color. On that model were some special colors I think. Maybe you have an idea, or know the color.

Grazie mille Matteo, I have been meaning to ask you about Alfa colors! It would be nice to see a MiTo in Azzurro Achille with tan interior

My favorite is (no surprise) my boxer in 303A verde bottiglia. Best looking green colour out of all available in my oponion

[@Matteo_Licata]

Very nice!

Our first guilietta was in 1981 and red AR501 then we got a launch model 1.8 75 in red, it was AR530 and not as deep a red. Much brighter, we preferred the AR 501 shade. My 1984 Alfasud green 🍀 was metallic silver and our 75 🍀 was solid black I think AR 630. An interesting thing is after it got repaired after an accident the new paint had a brown base where the original one had a blue base from the factory. But from a distance it looked the same .

[@Matteo_Licata]

Red Giuliettas were super-rare here in Italy. People tended to buy them in white, ivory or brown. Once I found a red one in the classifieds, it was sold even before I could go see it!

@@Matteo_Licata my dad said Alfa’s only came in one colour! Red 😁 I’ve got a picture on a wooden board of an red Alfa tipo 33 airborne during a race somewhere. It’s very big and faded now.
