Bugatti describes an EB110 GT in EB110 Blue with silver wheels when explaining a matching Centodieci commission. This documents an individual colour reference, not a complete 1993 palette. The pencil blue is approximate.
In the photographs
The photographs show blue and grey. Use these surviving display cars to compare shapes and visible finishes. Exact build date and original paint have not been established for every example. Restored paint and later changes are possible.
In the coloured example
The pencil example uses french blue bodywork with grey cabin tones. It is a creative colouring guide, not a factory paint match or a recreation of one gallery car.
Make the details count.
Use a slightly darker blue on the lower nose than on the bonnet.
Shade the wheel openings without filling the fine spokes solidly.
Follow your curiosity.
