You could choose from: rosso Alfa (Alfa red), grigio graphite (graphite grey), bleu Bosforo (Bosphorus blue), verde muschio (moss green) and bianco gardenia (gardenia white).<\/p>\n<p>I imagine that these 5 colors are available across the  line up of Bertone built Alfa&#8217;s.  This all goes out the window when you consider you could pay them extra to paint your SS whatever color you wanted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/giuliettas.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5513\" title=\"SS Suomi1\" src=\"http:\/\/giuliettas.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rufushamilton.com\/giuliettas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg?w=1125&amp;ssl=1 1125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rufushamilton.com\/giuliettas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rufushamilton.com\/giuliettas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rufushamilton.com\/giuliettas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/ss-suomi1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><strong>Antti in Finland sent me this picture of a Bluette (if my guess is correct and this car darkens when rubbed out) Giulia SS he has that was one of three to come to Finland new, the others being red and white.
