I wonder what a Giulietta Berlina would look like in Blue Elvitia or Giallo Cina?
There is a note in German (which I don't read- the curse of an otherwise adequate public school education) that seems to indicate there were 5 shades of white available-Bianco Gardenia, Bianco KF, Bianco Spino KF, Bianco Ambra and Bianco Nube. The brochure shows a Berlina in the Giallo Cina color. Another observation- The Berlina color options are more subdued, the Veloce options brighter (race colors?), the standard Sprint and Spider colors leaning toward elegance. Seems to indicate there was some special ordering available too.
