Default Ferrari yellow vs. millenium/velocity?

For example, on this 360 Modena:



I know "Ferrari Yellow" is a specific paint code, not sure if it's what they use on all their cars for yellow. That 360 looks closer to a millenium yellow, but has anyone seen a good side by side comparison between either MY and VY and the Ferrari yellows?

Just asking because I'm having a tough time deciding which yellow I prefer, have never been able to see a side-by-side in person, but I do love the 360 Modena yellow in person. I think it's an ideal yellow IMO.

Crazy how similar the fronts of these cars are, just by looking at your sig and the pic I posted.

Certainly GM had their inspirations from a certain Italian supercar, which isn't a bad thing at all. Nice when inspiration comes from such a beautiful car.

Ferrari Yellow is brighter than Millennium Yellow.

When I park my Velocity Yellow vert next to my friend's yellow Modena coupe, the colors pretty much match.

Isn't it called Chrome Yellow on Ferraris?
