Nardo vs. Telesto...what say ye??

M3ZING · 01-29-2016, 05:48 AM

I would rather do this over both. Grigio Titanio

You may also want to look into Grey Black just to throw another idea out there. It's close to Grigio Telesto

Here's both of them:

Thanks for the suggestion! I love Grey Black too but it is a little too dark for me. It appears that Telesto is a shade or two lighter than Grey Black, it sucks not seeing these colors in person

JTO24 · 01-29-2016, 01:13 PM

Telesto for sure; will order that color if I get another f80 after this one. I like medio alot, too but I'd get it on an F82, personally.

Bottom line - do you like light, medium or dark gray? All 3 options are terrific. I think the F80 looks best with flat paints so either choice is a good one, and of the two, I'd go with the darker color because it's rarer. If you add Medio to the mix, then I'd toss Nardo because Nardo is seen more often. It looks almost identical to Cement Gray that's on a ton of Scions.

The problem with the dealership photos is the cars are inside.

Gotta compare the 3 out in the sun.

Agreed. IMHO the F80s look very very good in non-metallics. But I am somewhat biased...

Telesto but ii'm kinda biased.

i don't know about nardo or medio as i haven't seen them in person but telesto has very different characters depending on the lighting. In the sun it can look very close to the picture of the medio above and in the shade looks darker as noted above.

ciaranob · 01-30-2016, 08:47 AM

For the reasons you mentioned, I'd also go with Telesto if I had to choose but, and I know I am in the minority here on this, but TBH I am not a huge fan of either - entirely personal opinion.

I see you have a Telesto. Congrats! Have you taken delivery yet? Also, did you see the color in person before ordering? I'm afraid Telesto resembles MG too closely. That being said, I haven't seen it in person.

catch · 01-30-2016, 12:26 PM

Ive seen Nardo in person, so I would say Nardo... but the Telesto is beautiful in pictures!

It is here, In fact its the one you posted !!!

honestly you cant go wrong with any of those 3. theyre all fantastic colors. Telesto is very different to MG. I took delivery with a guy that had an MG delivered at the same time. 2 completely different colors. pictures dont display it that well.

Sweet! Can you post more pics whenever you get a chance?

azula · 01-30-2016, 02:08 PM

Telesto looks frickin phenomenal here but it looks like it is in direct sunlight. Love the lighter shade of the color!

But this Nardo is drop dead gorgeous IMO

Telesto is metallic actually. Or pearl rather.

I'd have to flip a coin. I love both colors equally.
