Fathers Day Gift and Question

Post by sjmst »

My wife and kiddies gave me a gift certificate for a portrait of my 81 Fiat Spider by Steve Anderson. Steve does artwork for Forza (Ferrari) magazine, among other things. :D

He had done my 82 Ferrari Mondial. It is gone now, but the beautiful illustration he did is on my den wall. It was also used as his illustration for the issue of Forza magazine that covered Mondials. It may be fuzzy, but he included my Mondial portrait on the gift certificate (see below).

He will put on the painting the VIN and the colors of the car. I know the Metallic Brown of my car is called "Marrone."
The interior is the beige that was very common to cars of 79 and up. Can anyone tell me what the "official" name for the color was?

Thanks
Sam
