Ferrari Red vs Lava Orange

Paint comparison · updated Aug 2026

Ferrari Red (#F70D1A) reads darker than Lava Orange (#E65C00), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Lava Orange lifts them. Both render in gloss, satin or matte, so the finish is a separate decision from the colour and you can try either one in all three. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Ferrari Red vs Lava Orange: the differences.

The first difference between Ferrari Red and Lava Orange is depth: Ferrari Red reads darker, so it hides body lines that Lava Orange shows. The second is not the finish: both are available in gloss, satin or matte, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.
